heating issue, than below is the solution,Another Successful NH-U12A Installation in Orion 5000

yo dude awesome job, but put the extra fan above the cooler as exhaust it helps out, i have 2 up there and my temps are lower now than without them, what card do you have in yours the 3080 ? now i dont have that game is it that demanding or are you guys playing on a higher resolution that you were getting 100C? with my stock cooler i was getting 63 on my games on max settings at 1080p 240hz. now i average 38-48 depending on the game.

yeah i bet, i only have a 3070 and 1080p monitors, so i cant reproduce that heat lol, but i understand now, thx for clearing that up buddy, heh.

well, i just watched all the trailers for battlfield 2042, and it looks crazy complicated haha, ive never played anything like this and also i noticed its 60 dollars, no single player mode, and out of 135k reviews it says mostly negative on steam, so yeah ill pass until it goes on sale, if it ever does, i have never played online games before, always single player, not sure if ide like it but the gfx look crazy awesome. what do all you guys think that play it? i know most of you putting in the noctua coolers play this game coincidentally. and Zyklon i see now higher resolution gets higher temps glad i only got 1080p monitors now lol and yes very soon here im ordering another 2x16 from crucial to max out at 64 gigs i check daily waiting on prices to fall, i have 48 now and its very fast and works great mixing the stock samsung and the crucial together.

you do not have to remove the backplate or MB, thats up too you if you want to use the hardware that comes with any tower cooler, all you need to buy-get is 4-3mx10mm screws to mount it to the existing acer plate, then mount the extra fan uptop as exhaust like we all have done, those screws im not sure of the size i had an assorted pack of non metric and i just found 4 that worked lol, its really simple and any tower cooler will work everyone seems to make them now and they are all better than the stock cooler. so keep us posted and show pictures when you are done and GL !

read the instructions and use the intel bracket and spacers then you will need 4-m3x10mm screws to mount the brackets to the acer backplate. then use the y adapter and plug it into the same port the stock fan was. it's simple and easy. then the stock cooler fan can be mounted right above the cooler as exhaust.

here is my 5000 and all the modifications you can see i have done to make it better.

you have 2 choices remove the MB and use the Noctua hardware or you need 4-m3x10mm screws to use the acer backplate.

thanks both. I’ll try that. I was attempting to take the motherboard out yesterday but didn’t manage it and now after putting it back together my pc turns on but there is no signal to the monitor. All the fans and lights are on. Has this happened to you before?
