Radeon VII

Congrats. Glad to know I won't be the only one here :)

I'm still trying to mess around with mine, but I also have a class that's demanding my full attention

Anyway I'm trying to work on my time management so I can find time to test the new build

Just messing around but did a quick CPU OC to 5Ghz, did an auto overclock GPU, and auto overclock memory and got this...



This was the first run after the tweaks...


And yes.... those RVII fans do get loud!!! However, Fire Strike only indicates a high temp of 70C on the card

Not sure I trust those sensors though because I'm also get a zero (0) load reading on the GPU which is obviously not right. I'll run HWMonitor in the background and see what's really going on. That's it for now.

How did you fit the 280mm rad to the top? I have exact the same case and AIO but cant seems to find a way to fit it in. Motherboard hitsink is blocking the way to fit the fan. Can you help me please. Any modes or changes you did?

@JonnyAweswesome

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I had to modify the H500M's top fan bracket. See this post here: Re: Cooler Master H500M Case

If you have any questions post here. I'm happy to help in anyway

Thank you so much. Youre a life saver.
Now i can mount it like this. Simple mod but effective!

I've no idea why Cooler Master made that bracket like that as it limits the placement of the AIO. That said, there isn't going to be much air clearance with that radiator at the top so you definitely do not want to obstruct those side vents.

And I don't remember, but I think I cut out about 3 inches. Measure by placing the radiator where you want it on the bracket and insure your screws fit where you place the radiator before cutting. Also, be careful not to scrap off the protective coating.

Let me know if you have further questions.

After a driver sweep and install, I got this for my first Fire Strike straight score out the box. No tweaks or OC's (yet) 

Would you recommend this graphics card on my build? What’s the temperature and noise like?

Don't you have a Radeon RX 5700 XT?

Anyway I think it best to look at some benches and reviews online to get an idea of what the RVII is about. Yes, it still gets hot and loud under load (gaming for example). For normal use, the card is fine and quiet.

With that, its still a $700.00 dollar card; its still more powerful than the RX 5700XT. Is it $300 dollars more better... ? Depends...

Peace

Yes I got a 5700 but I had to RMA it so I’m looking for another card, that does not get hot and is quiet.
