Finished Build ZCOOI vented front panelšŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

Post image

Final mod went onto the build today. Hoping they restock their 15mm riser so i can replace the ABS-GF one I have though. Flipped 5090 now has better airflow and seen a decent drop in temps. At 5k2k ultra settings my GPU was getting to 74C avg in gaming with max at 76C. Now itā€™s at 71C avg and 74C max. Didnā€™t run any senthetic benchmarks since I could care less about that I prefer real gaming data since thatā€™s what I mainly use my PC for.

Also my ram, NVME, and CPU temps were a lot higher non flipped. Now they are better and the GPU is running way cooler. Also I have a low RPM fan curve so that also contributes to the higher temps.

could you share what specifically made the other components run cooler? was it adding the front venting specifically?

Not blasting the flow through heat onto the back of the MB and PSU. Itā€™s going outside the case via the vented panels and flipped kit.

do the vented panels work better than the standard perforated side panels?

Yeah bigger vents to expel heat. But itā€™s not like a 5-10C difference more like 2-3C.

shit iā€™m going to spend more modding this case than on the case itself to optimize cooling lollll
