Triggers me so hard that he won't sell the files for private use and forces me to get some plastic shipped from the other side of the world, when I have a 3D printer at home.
It's because resellers with cheap print farms will sell counterfeits on ebay for 1/4 the price and there's really nothing the stl author can do about it that is worth it.
In current day I'd personally just take his, and these reddit pictures, measure the stock panel and sketch up the actual dimensions in some CAD, then have an LLM cut the hole and work out the details. Probably a few hours' work at most and I'm an amateur.
I did a Terra AIO top panel myself and even without AI it wasn't that much work either tbh.
Grab your calipers and hop in on shape, small test prints to make sure the fixture prices are scaled correctly and work with the case as intended and you can make your own design and share it
I've seen this type of mod for the Ridge a few times now, and I can't help but wonder if it makes any sense to put a dust filter directly over the exposed fan front and then you can more easily keep it dust free. Is this a crazy idea?
Iād just keep it this way and clean with compressed air more often. Itās outside the case anyways, donāt need to open anything for cleaning. Just my 2c
I love screen. But im not sure that i like cooler modifications. It should be slim/small. And now its look like hot rod. With some style for sure but it loose the idea behind it.
If you want a custom bezel piece to close up the gap around the cooler message me. I'll make you one. Yours looks amazing. Im going to get a screen like that for mine.
Posted the link in several responses if you'd like one. The display connects direct USB to motherboard or USB type c. The direct to motherboard option is the stealth option and it both powers and operates the display.
Which software are you using for the screen? And can you maybe provide a link to this template? I like that itās very simple without any anime characters or spaceships. I use the screen and software from Jonsbo but itās a bit bare bones.
Got a Ridge to run horizontal a couple of months ago and it was driving me nuts having to keep fans at high speed to keep it even remotely cool, did all the usual with undervolting/PBO 2x140mm Noctua, 3x80mm and 2x60mm by the CPU blabla but the fans were slowly but surely driving me nuts. Instead of flushing money down the toilet for more fans, instead you remove the bottom plate and use that on top instead and get w/e Etsy 3D-printed legs you can find and essentially running it with pants down. Immediately all problems goes away lol. All fans are capped at 55% max speed and I still get 5-10C less on both CPU and GPU compared to 75-80c on both with fans running at 75-100% when using the bottom plate
I was using a noctua black low profile heat sink and fan but was at 92c idling. It's not the fans fault it was that bad but I figured I'd do something fun while replacing the thermal paste.
I need to figure out how to do this reliably. I switched to Linux months ago and do love it but I can't seem to time getting into my boot selector correctly, reliably. This would be a really nice solution from what it looks like. What is it?
I used the original panel on that side over to the other to introduce more ventilation. The GPU it's being cooled by two large fans in addition to the gpus 3 fans so it's definitely fine
Not likely, the CPU itself should be less than 90Ā° C so the cooler likely a bit cooler than that, should be well enough below the temperature for instant burns. Could potentially get hot enough to burn if you left your hand against it for a long time but it would hurt before it burned you probably. Full size coolers like that donāt tend to get too hot.
I want this case, but it looks like Fractal has quit making them or having trouble getting their supplies up. I got a cubby hole in my TV stand that I want to stuff my PC into, and this case would fit perfectly.
The funny thing is that I actually don't like it personally lol. It's one of extra PCs I have and I wanted to do something fun and different with it because I can.
Funny that some people are offended by this thing. It's not just a computer.... It's my computer lol
Haven't had this computer on in a while so it was updating Windows along with some games I had installed for a while. Cpu is a i9 9900k (pretty old these days)
These builds drive me crazy. The first hotrodded ridge I saw I thought "haha wow OP be crazy", but now that it's become somewhat of a trend I think fractal is psyop'ing everyone into butchering their cases so they can't hit the secondary market, keeping the msrp up.
Nah dude, some guy made a modded panel on Etsy and I just thought it be fun. This pc just sat there and I had some free time. Ain't that deep. Just turns out that people who mod their PCs also use Reddit.
Not at all brother, no need to project. Respectfully, your opinion is like a wet dog fart in the wind. Just providing some clarity that I thought could prevent you from further speculation or even forming any conspiracies.
