I’m about to buy an HX750i for a new build, but I’m concerned about both proper cooling and silence.
The reason for my concern is that my case is Fractal Design Define 7 Compact. It has a PSU “shroud” shelf at the bottom. There are perforations, but I imagine it’s still suboptimal to have obstructions to PSU intake, especially since hot GPU/case air will be further obstructed by the perforated shelf.
It makes the most sense to flip the PSU with fan on the bottom, where there is a nice dust protection mesh and the tallest case feet I’ve seen to date.
As I understand, HX750i will heat up more facing down, and the fan might kick in louder. Can I set a custom curve in iCue to not start at zero RPM, but at 20% RPM and up from there? Does anything other than default curve end up being a static duty cycle number for any load?
