![]() ![]() If the person/company hosting the file server is risk-averse, they have backup file servers in case the primary one goes down, but that's not always the case. ![]() FTP, but regardless of the protocol used the whole file is hosted on a server somewhere, and you download the whole file from that server. The typical way you download a file from the internet is as follows: you find the file download link of the file you want, you click it which sends a request to the server, a connection is established, and the file server serves you the file. ![]() You should still take what I say as guesswork though, it's literally just that.Despite the nefarious reputation of torrenting, it is a pretty amazing technology that has legitimate purposes. I've not been a practising engineer for two decades, but I do have an engineering degree and wrote a dissertation heavily leaning into thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, so my guesses aren't 'wild' guesses, they're based on a few years of hard studying, a two-trimester project, and several exams modules. IMO cases like the Torrent focus too much on the latter without considering the implications on the former. Instead, it's entrained back into the GPU fans raising the temperature of the intake air for the GPU.Įnsuring the hot air escapes is significantly more important than getting cold air to the intakes. Hot exhaust air from the lower half of the GPU fin stack doesn't have enough momentum to overcome the fast flow of air directed right at the GPU intake fans, so it does't get expelled far enough away from the GPU to dissipate into the larger case volume.The net result isn't actually a deadlock because that's a grossly oversimplified model, but you get the idea. ![]() In this case, the tube represents half of the GPU heatsink, and you have GPU fans blowing into one end and case fans blowing into the other end. To massively oversimplify it, imagine blowing into a tube from both ends at the same time. This simply results in lower airflow rates through the lower half of the GPU fin stack. The GPU fans pushing air through the lower half of the GPU fin stack are being countered by an area of relatively high pressure caused by four 120mm fans all aimed at one location that is sandwiched between the GPU's PCB and the motherboard.If there's too much direct airflow and high positive pressure underneath the GPU, I'm thinking that it does one or both of two things: Look at any GPU cooler Half of the hot exhaust air exits the fin stack on the top edge, the other half on the bottom edge. If I had to guess, it's because the cases with bottom-mounted AND front-mounted fans overwhelm the GPU fans. In fact, I would think noise-normalized thermals test (most practical/realistic test by GamersNexus IMO) would favor the Torrent best because of the massive fans which should blow more air while also being quieter. I don't think it has to do with the front filter because CPU temp is still excellent. I don't see any obvious areas of improvement. Actually, pretty much all FD cases have underwhelming GPU temps when you consider their simple mesh designs with front intakes. To be clear, the case is certainly great overall and GPU temps are above average in general, just that there's a clear difference in GPU temp between other top cases that excel at both CPU and GPU. Actually, if you look the benchmarks, Fractal Design cases in general rarely do great in GPU temps (average to slightly above average in most cases) even if they are great with CPU temps. Just curious with regards to design since all 3 cases are really similar. () than these two cases and even the larger Torrent being an apples-to-apples comparison with its 3 fans is 5 degrees warmer.Īll 3 cases only include 3 front intake fans (edit: I did not realize the Torrent includes 3x 140mm bottm intake fans for the GPU) (2 larger fans for the Torrent Compact) that is used for the best and nothing else so it's a pretty even comparison. Why do the some of the best Fractal Design cases with excellent cooling for CPU have less impressive temps for GPU? In particular, cases like the Torrent/Torrent Compact is comparable if not better in CPU temp to cases like Lian Li Lancool II Mesh and Phanteks P500A (which are at the top for both CPU/GPU), but is consistently hovering around average to below average in GPU temps among great airflow cases. ![]()
