5000T LX

[RosMcD]

Just finished adding more fans . The case is way bigger than I expected, but she's looking sweeeet!

Thanks to TonyCarter for helping to refine the spec!

What's that mini display in the floor, is that part of the case?

 

[RosMcD]

Nah, just a wee cheap display from AliExpress (GeekMagic Pro). Got it set to bitcoin tracker atm, but can set it to clock/weather/gifs/etc. I think it can also be flashed and/or connected to software to display computer stats. Only cost £11

Pretty cool, i like it for a simple metric live readout.

Have you checked the balance for airflow? Front and side intake with the top and rear being extract?

 

[RosMcD]

It's set up as:

• 3 front intake
• 3 side intake (reverse fans)
• 1 rear exhaust
• 3 radiator fans top exhaust (AIO)

That’s similar to mine, but I have bottom fans in place of front fans (in a 6500X case). Side fans are set to silent constant speed, and only the bottom intake and AIO fans ramp with coolant temp.

The 3 fans of each set are configured to slightly different speed profiles so that they stagger (about 10% difference between fastest/slowest) between the frequency of any noise they produce, so one frequency doesn’t become too loud.

Good idea staggering them, I'll play around with mines and maybe do something similar.

I was thinking of adding a similar airflow bias - having the bottom front/side intakes ramp up under load to encourage more of a bottom-to-top cooling path, rather than the AIO just sucking air directly from the top intakes.
