I was mildly disappointed with Vavles pricing, so I told my nephew i'd make him a Bazzite system. He plays simple games.

Case: Raven RVZ02, CPU Ryzen 7800X3D, GPU RTX 3080

Edit

This was about 4 years ago. This is the system I sharpened my teeth on. Had to modify the 3080 to fit with a fan mod.

Tell me more about the GPU. Did you just remove the shroud and put some fans on the heatsink?

Does that not reduce cooling performance quite a bit?

[–] captain_spicard@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Those fans actually dropped the temperature a bit, even in a traditional case. They are noctua's thin fans.

I don't have this 3080 any longer, went to a 9070XT.
