I can see the PsU cables.....like seriously man...... how do you walk around the Grand Bazaar knowing your cables are like that? Aren’t you ashamed?

[KAC]

My case does not come with a PSU cover. I am looking online to see if Corsair supplies one.

[Meteor_of_War]

KAC, I am wondering if that's two separate 3.5" HDD cages, and you can remove the bottom one that appears empty? Might help front airflow intake.

Yes there are 2 cages. Unfortunately my back SSD drive bays are missing (they should be at the back so the bottom ones are housing 3 SSDs). I need to replace 1 of the SSDs w/ a 2 TB SSD so I can take off one more cage. Will do it next month as I am a bit short on fun cash

750D representing

[KAC]

Nub it’s 760T. Added a crucial NVMe and re routed some cables so Megagay stops posting gay shite.

[demo]

Move your drives to bottom cage, and remove top cage for more air flow - because you seem to be struggling with temps.


edit/ What is that 'True Gaming' card?

[KAC]

I am missing a lot of components from my PC case including the back side SSD mounts and drive cages. The idiots who I asked to install the computer 3 years ago seem to have taken out the extras. The only way is to order a 2 TB SSD and retire 1 EVO SSD and 1 WD Black HDD.

The true gaming is a plate to prevent MSI Gaming Trio from sag.

Doesn't look like it's working ^

Maybe you need to plug it in

[KAC]

Picture is taken at quite an angle. However, yes, even with the plate card still sags. Without it, it might just fall off as it is heavy.

[Evileh]

I know the 750D doesn't have a shroud that they sell, but they do have a 3rd party but i'm not paying 120$. My hd cage is on top like yours but I don't have a choice as my psu cables won't fit if the cage is there. I don't have temp issues one bit though. usually less than 60 while gaming on cpu maybe no more than 50-55. And gpu is normally around 70 after long sessions.

Nice Adam

[KAC]

Adam at it again. Btw isn’t that the “wrong” way to mount your rad?

[Mangler]

The end tanks of the radiator are above the pump so it should be ok.

[Evileh]

I thought you were supposed to have the cables on the bottom?

[Destroy]

Wait, what?! Someone actually got a 3090 in here?! My girlfriend wants your e-penis.

[AdamK47]

The radiator is fine. The pump is below the top of the radiator. No air is going through the loop. No gurgling noises.

Moshpit has one too.

What is your keyboard/mouse setup?

I've been looking for something to use in my gaming room on my TV in a similar setup. I see the Corsair logo. I purchased the K63 Wireless Gaming keyboard intending to use it with their Lapboard, but it ended up being the worst keyboard I've ever used (IMO). I returned it for the Logitech G915, but there's no Lapboard designed for it like Corsair. I know they had an older one too, maybe you're using that?

Update and special treat for the plebeians this evening. The Thermaltake Kandalf was running 96c with the Corsair A500, as the heat pipes were apparently hitting the caps and not making flush contact with the processor. Rather than again giving up on the ole Kandalf, I took a drill and was able to install a liquid cooler. I am now getting 79c full load one hour test.



Updated userbench as well. ->

Now for the treat.. the Thermaltake Kandalf has come a long way!


Circa 2009:



And as of today:

[KAC]

Oh dear lol. That 3080 doesn't deserve to be there. I will take it off your hands

[ULTRATRON38]

Nope, running great and looks great now. If any of you eventually manage to get a 3080.. be sure to plug two separate 12v rails into the card. One line with the two plugs and power supply overheats and system can be unstable.

[Nunz]

Yeah I wouldn't want to pull 300w through one of those split 8-pin connectors

[Evileh]

Looks like the wiring is the same...

I'm proud of you KAC, after all these years you're finally embracing the gayness.

Can the RGB lighting be turn off? I'm going to build a Ryzen computer but undecided on the RGB the stuff.

Yes, I can change it to whatever I want (including off). They are the LL series fans and I have a lightning node pro.

[KAC]

Congrats on the card. It is thicc.

[Mangler]

Jebus, that is a huge card.

What are the temps like?

[CurrentlyPissed]

Jebus, that is a huge card.

What are the temps like?

Fan 100% back to back benches idle was 28c, and load was 49-50c. In game auto fan with OC I did not exceed 59c last night playing AC Odyssey for an hour. Playing league of legends, fans dont even turn on card runs at 42c.

Also it does sag, not as much as I expected to, but enough to annoy me. I'm strongly considering going with the founders and selling this one. Not to mention the Aorus software is just pure hot garbage.

Not sure why they didn't extend the rear IO for more support.
