I have used this case before and the thermals are very good (or at least, in my setup), but maybe that time I was using a locked Core i5-6500 CPU

My setup back then was:
Core i5-6500
Z270i ROG Strix
Zotac GTX1070 Mini
2x8GB HyperX Fury RGB 3200MHz
Silverstone SX650-G SFX PSU
Cooler Master ML240L AIO
Cooler Master MF120R fan at the bottom

temps was around 34-35 degrees idle, and gaming load (Shadow of Tomb Raider pushes CPU usage to 100%) maxed out at only 50 degrees

my room has no air conditioning. just a regular ceiling fan

The challenge of working with 7nm architecture! I can reach 35 idle temps by switching off Core Performance Boost (or "turbo") in BIOS, but I think i can survive with sub 40C for now. Forgot to add that the 80C temp is when I stress test the CPU with Prime95 and load all cores at 100%. With games, it's around 60C maybe?

Just fan no aircon either.

Are there many Ophion Evo case users in MY? Don't think it's particularly popular here. I am already itching to switch to another case haha.

I see. After spending weeks going through Shopee and Lazada, this was the only case that really caught my eye. Only when I went deeper into the hole, then I realized there are so many more cases out there. cry.gif

Now I can't stop planning for my next build.

I can assure you that you're not the only one thumbup.gif

that is why I'm prohibiting myself now from browsing through Taobao again. I am planning to use current case a little bit longer than the ones I used previously icon_idea.gif

Hah! I might have to uninstall the Taobao app from my phone, I have only used my current setup since May and already I want to change (1) the case (2) the gpu and (3) my monitor!.

I might spring for the FormD T1 though, it's just too good. wub.gif

Have you bought cases on Taobao direct? How was your experience?

well my recent purchase was through a friend who happen to have some items from Taobao in a forwarding service storage, so basically I just add in my case into his inventory lol. I never had ordered anything directly from Taobao sweat.gif

although shipping is by sea, it took only 2 weeks to arrive to KL

haha yeah, FormD T1 looks great, and to make it worse my fav channel Optimum Tech from Youtube happen to have his personal gaming/editing rig in the T1. almost everytime rewatched his video on the review/build

my second all-time fav would be the Ghost S1

Ah Optimum Tech, I am a fan too! We have similar tastes then! My lust for the Ghost S1 and FormD changes from day to day, and its whether I can convince myself if I need an AIO or not (not a fan of the top hat look) tongue.gif

The other case on my top 3 list is the Nzxt H1. And then all the other Taobao cases. Argh.

You might have missed it, but FormD T1 are having releases every Friday. The first batch was yesterday, and the black version was sold out under 3 minutes! I am waiting for the white one, ETA Q4 2020. But USD250 before shipping..... mega_shok.gif

Hi fellow ROE user! How's your temps like? Did youundervolt your CPU and GPU?

My CPU idle is 40C and gaming can go to 65C. GPU around 45C idle and close to 70C when gaming 100%.

Cool, thanks for sharing! Does your setup get noisy?

I see you went for fan cool, did you consider the Ophion instead?

My opinion - No air flow or channel. Aluminium front panel. Too small that it's unable to house any cooling fans, you can only rely on the fans on the CPU cooler and the PSU fan for cooling!

Temp will be a problem, and if temp is a problem, noise will be problem too.

My humble setup.

Perfect for my drawing tasks, programming and music. I nearly forgot how my speakers are supposed to sound like - the satellites are always blocked by the surround monitors.

Woo, loving that man-cave vibe from your desk setup. Haven't see Klipsch speakers for a while too, great left-field choice for com speakers!

I noticed that one of the tags was bunkbeds. Does this table come along with the bed? I'm thinking of emulating this setup for my kid.
Biggest concern is that it's dark under there, dont want to ruin eyes and might be hot and dont want to run AC all the time because electricity bills.

You're right. It is a bunkbed but I used the upper part to keep things - planned the bed when my children are big enough or for family guests. I installed IKEA LED lights to solve the dark issue.

I like to be at room temperature - no air conditioning in this room biggrin.gif
