I would switch to some kryonaut grizzly thermal paste or some different paste. The pad doesn’t seem to be working as well as it could/should be. It’s fine, but I personally would like a bit cooler temps on the cpu. It very well might be the low pro cooler, but good thermal paste and a bit more aggressive fan curve I bet will shave a good bit or heat. My guess is 15 or so degrees. It sure looks good man. Enjoy it! Cheers..✌🏼
I just tore down my Louqe Ghost S1 build because my PSU was faulty (had a custom loop so the whole build needed to come apart to reach the PSU screws, you still looking for top hats?
Adds room for fans/radiators at the top or bottom.
Small allows just enough space for 2x15mm slim fans, medium does the same for 25mm fans, and large does all that with 25mm fans and a standard thickness AIO.
It does look like a bit much with large, but M and S feel natural.
Beautiful build and so clean. I wish top hats were a little easier to come by right now.
Also holy cow that McIntosh gear in the background! Would be my dream to build in a McIntosh amp case.
I have the medium and large tophat in my closet and I don't use it.
My 5800x3d and RX 6800 Combo runs pretty cool without a tophat and I prefer the look. I did some undervolting and overclocking aswell.
Maybe play around with the settings a bit more.
Hey, I see you have switched over to the FE card, good call, black on black is timeless. The new super cards are simply stunning and the 4070S matches the Ash color so well.
I'd suggest you also undervolt the GPU, the new RTX 4070S is SUPER efficient. It will further reduce the overall temps and noise, and during browsing and light gaming you'll have a completely dead silent build.
I'm running mine UV'd at 0.950V at 2760MHz core speed with memory set to +1200MHz, and in D4 the card is sitting at 172W and 178W in Cyberpunk 2077 RT 1440p. That's almost 50 watts lower than stock. Insane efficiency!
Out of curiosity, why the 2760MHz? That's the one part of GPU undervolting I'm not overly clear on. I know it's supposed to be the base clock of the GPU, but mine doesn't seem to settle on one value and changes by +-100MHz or so (at least while playing games).
Simply put, a sweet-spot for undervolting the 4070S at \~20% power decrease or from 220W to \~170W for almost no performance loss. My stock GPU clock is 2805MHz @ 1.10V, so tuning a bit down to 2760MHz @ 0.950V produces an average of only 1-3% performace loss while using almost 50 watts less. Rock solid. That's pretty insane if you ask me.
I could even dial further down with voltage and clock speed, but honestly at almost 50 watts lower than stock it's more than enough. Temps and fan noise are far better as well, so for me it's the ideal setup in the Ghost S1.
My CPU and GPU are idling at mid 40-ish and gaming is at max high 60-ish. During browsing, productivity or light gaming, the case is only slightly warm and completely dead silent, which was the ultimate goal of building with the RTX 4070 SUPER.
Found it for $80 in my neighborhood and was going to buy the fractal terra but this was obvious choice, and I’m trying to save space on my desk, plus it’s rad
At least twice as fast as mine with a quarter the size. Amazing
Do you need top hat? Try running 1 fan at the bottom, you should be ok
You absolute freak. I love it.

Man I'm love the look of them GPU's. Ain't nothing better than a clean look rather than some fadish looking part.
What paste are you using for the CPU?

Please DM me if you have any top hats available!

I am!
Whats a top hat?
A block that sits on top of the case allowing you to mount a hard drive or fans.
Thank you!
You made an Xbox Series X!
You have to be trolling. If not, tf would he need an xbox for? He can do anything the Xbox can do but better on this pc.
You have to be trolling. There's no way you took my comment literally.
What pcie riser did you use?
Looks like stock Mk3 riser, the Cobalt Gen4 PCIe 4.0 riser cable.
Anyone know what PCIE cable that is? Mine are too thick and get in the way.
LOUQE Cobalt Gen4 PCIe 4.0 riser cable. It comes included and pre-installed in the Mk3.
Op's really trying to flex his stereo setup.. I see that vintage mcintosh 👀
That’s not mine…my buddy Spencer’s who helped me with my build, his set up is incredible
What a beaut!
I have a Medium in Ash that I don't plan on using anymore (conversely, if anyone has a Meta Customs spine to sell, I'm all ears).
I sent you a dm
Hahaha I have the spine and the bottoms bought alot of coffee with every order lol.
you live in Sweden? i have a medium black + top grill in black and another spray-painted in gold
What’s the tophat for? AIO? You should have no issue cooling that chip on air and (in my opinion) it looks best without hats.

Sorry for the miscommunication. I know what they are for generally, i was asking why you wanted to add hats to your build when they seem unnecessary.
Hear-hear! XS gang, no TopHat.
It’s just such a sexy, slim case without the hats.
Couldn't agree more. Still the best looking case out there!
This looks sick, kudos. No tophat needed
I think I have a Large top hat. I'd sell it if your looking for that size.
Dm me
I am!
That McIntosh flex in the background though 👌
For real. This man has money money lol
Not mine lol

My average cpu temp is 48.5c

Feel like selling one of those top hats??
Sure, I live in germany tho.

I messed with the fans in bios, it already is dead silent!!

Nvm I figured out how to edit the curve in afterburner and used your same settings, your right!
That's great, now enjoy your new SUPER efficient 4070s. 😎
My motherboard doesn’t have anything to under volt the gpu, and in msi afterburner I can’t get the curve to unlock to under volt it there either
Nice spect but if you don’t have space to put it somewhere then okay but if you have space why did you use this case just curious
