Those were the days

Started my working "career" by getting an A+ and then being a technician for a small hardware/software reseller.

Making enough money to fund beer + petrol

And pizzas as lollies (I think of something like that in midrand)

Better to run with the side panel on or off for air-cooling? I mean RZA gets hot...

I dislike running with side panel of. Buggers up air flow over the entire motherboard - horses for courses, I suppose.

I know, normally I would run with panel off and then just blower it clean while taping / holding fans down.

I'd rather get a case that has place for extra fans ... , and use them all.

What's the rest of the build? Cause my side panel is on and the case does draw quite a bit of cool air from the front panels, 3 fans there suck it in. Would probably put an exhaust on eventually.

Well, min has 3x 120mm white Phanteks Fans front. I could probably add one in the back.

[Herr der Verboten]

so what is the expected temps for 3080 and a I7 12700k?

 

[Lupus]

so what is the expected temps for 3080 and a I7 12700k?

3080 roughly 80 below, i7 12700k no idea, though 85 degrees is possible and fine

 

[Gtx Gaming]

so what is the expected temps for 3080 and a I7 12700k?

3080 less than 70c is fine, 12700k so long as pc dont explode you be fine

 

[Lupus]

3080 less than 70c is fine, 12700k so long as pc dont explode you be fine

70 would be an ideal temp, though it can hit 80 without a hitch so don't panic if it hits that, though this does depend on case and air flow.
