Sharkoon VG5-V Noctua NH-14 case

[whoololon]

Man, you'll definitely notice an improvement as soon as you stop having the cooler on top and have (if you decide on one of the two models I mentioned) an open intake from the top. Good idea to change the fan flow (I messed up with my Z77 :verguen: ), you could have even opened the left panel. As for the price, none of them reaches 55 €. As I said before, I'm more than sure you'll notice the change right away. Edit: I was bugged by the vertical cooler thing and, indeed,

I guess it was a problem of the little space in the tower.

Yes, I have also tried opening the left panel, but it does not help, the air escapes and stays there accumulated.
Closing the box forces the movement of the air.

I will already tell you how it goes with the fast fans.

Thank you very much for the help.

I'm with whoololon, I have that Noctua, and the most effective formula is to mount it horizontally with the air circuit facing backwards.

I understand about the piece of furniture that's preventing the air from coming out, but it would be almost more profitable for you to rotate the case 90 degrees counterclockwise on itself vertically, creating a lateral airflow with respect to the furniture, which for sure, by redistributing the pedals of the simulator and moving the rest a little, will fit and you will gain a lot of efficiency in the system, instead of having to make a strange mess with the fans in a thousand different ways.

Personally, I would prioritize the arrangement of the case over everything else, it's a matter of principle :chuckles:

But the heatsinks can only be placed in a specific way on the socket, right? So I couldn't rotate it.

Rotating the tower is also a pain, because if I put the back of the case facing right, first of all the cables don't reach or they barely reach, they get tangled and the front of the case becomes useless for plugging things into the USB, operating the CD or manipulating the power and reset buttons.

I've also considered that option, but as you can see it's not very practical.

If you tell me that I can rotate the cooler on the processor by 90 degrees, what I'll do is put it so that it follows the reverse flow that I've set up and helps to expel the air to the front.

I know it's the strangest and worst thing at first glance, but for now the changes I'm making are working for me.

I think I'm going to get the silverstone case already and I'm not going to wait for the delta fans to arrive, because I had one reserved in a store and it's already sold out, Black Friday is playing me :risitas: :risitas:

No. I've had my Noctua placed in 2 positions (horizontal and vertical). Depending on how the anchor works, some only have 1 position.

[whoololon]

As I already mentioned, I believe you will notice a radical change once you change the tower. You will be able to place fans and heatsink however you like (always within the care needed to place that heatsink correctly), but it will no longer be out of necessity. :sisi:

Keep in mind that the one you have is from 2007, the hardware of that era did not need the dissipation of what you have mounted inside: a power supply blowing hot air onto the micro heatsink, and this in turn blowing hot air onto the graphics card. All of this in a case with more than limited air intakes.
We will agree that it is not the ideal configuration. :ugly:

@krampak:

some do only have 1 position.

That only happens with AMD… the Intel socket has what is known as DOUBLE SYMMETRY.

Another thing is that high RAM clashes with the fins and you can only place the heatsink in one parallel position.

As for the case... in principle, unless it has fans on the side, there is usually no problem with the NOCTUA... because they respect the standard size of most ATX cases.

The Phanteks and I think other models do go a bit beyond those measurements and do not fit in many cases but the NOCTUA do... I tell you.

[kyle_katarn]

Well I've searched a bit more and seeing that the Z77 extreme 4 have the socket in the same position as my Z97 pro 4, this one that I'm going to turn over right now :sisi::sisi:

I don't think it will touch because it's already mounted on the memories and it didn't touch, at least...

The fans are already appearing supported in the email tracking :D:D

As soon as the coolmod website loads and I see if they put a discount on the case, I'm going to buy it.

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

[kyle_katarn]

First of all, thank you all for your help.

The box arrived on Friday at noon, everything is fine, cool box, light because it has some plastic parts, but it's okay. :risitas:
I thought about waiting for the fans from China to arrive to start assembling everything, but what the heck!! :D:D
That afternoon I got into the job, and when everything seemed perfect, problems started and all because of the same individual, the damn Noctua, the day I opened the box I got scared and I was right… ¬¬¬¬

The case fits well from the height, the problem is with the width and length, in no position and with no configuration of the two fans it comes with, the big guy doesn't fit.
Neither with the flow backwards or forwards, nor up or down. :ffu::ffu:

It doesn't fit. :wall::wall::wall::wall:

Well, let's try to sacrifice one Noctua fan to see how we do it....
And we did it, in the end it worked with the flow upwards and only with the middle fan, because there's no space to put the other one and therefore no space to put the two top fans of the case :nono::nono:

This morning the Chinese fans arrived and I had to fight a bit, because I forgot that the 4-pin ports only regulate with PWM, I thought they also regulated 3-pin fans, but that's not the case.

So I had to rewire the fans and in fact I had to extend the front cable to be able to take it to a connector that is on the back of the case where the only two 3-pin connectors are, one for each Chinese :rolleyes:, the others since they go to 1000 and a little, I have them at full speed, they don't make noise compared to the Chinese ones that I have around 2000.

The configuration ended up like this:

Here you can see the comparison of width between a normal fan and the Chinese one, it's quite thick :rolleyes::rolleyes:

The little beast is now in its place and everything is much cooler

Speedfan gives me the graphics at 39 and the rest around 30, the CPU is at 38, but with the paste recently put on, I still hope that in a few days it will drop a few more degrees.
Radical change from the 36-37 and 47 I had before.

So I'm quite satisfied with the idea of bringing all the air to the front.

That's it, many thanks to all, you guys are great

When you say you've tried it in every possible way and it won't fit, I believe you, but maybe you haven't thought about removing the rear fan from the case. It doesn't matter much now, but when the heat arrives you should consider it. What a pain that card is and how thick the rear fan is.

In any case, I'm glad it improved with a relatively small investment. ;D

By the way, what card is it?

[kyle_katarn]

I did try it without the rear fan. With the vertical flow if it fell ventilated above, it didn't come in from above and if it fell below it didn't come in with the graphics. With the horizontal flow, as you put in the photo, the fins catch with the graphics. I tried everything, I got up at about 8:30 pm or so and finished at 2 am and without dinner :ffu::ffu: My card is an asrock z97 Pro4 http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Pro4/index.es.asp
