YouTuber’s 15-Fan ‘Superdome’ Side Panel Cuts CPU Temps by About 20°C

Major Hardware shared the 3D files for others to try, with results limited to one rig and one gaming test.

Overview

  • Major Hardware’s “Superdome” build drew fresh coverage Monday, with CPU peaks dropping from about 86°C to 66–67°C during Battlefield 6.
  • The dome packs fifteen 120mm Noctua fans, roughly $600 of hardware, into a 3D‑printed frame that replaces the side panel on a Lian Li O11 case.
  • All fans ran as front intakes in a layout of five around the curve, one on top, and nine at the base, pushing a strong stream of cool air into the case.
  • He tracked the change using AMD’s Ryzen Master and noted his PC exhausts through top and bottom radiators, a setup that had produced high gaming temps before the swap.
  • The build was reported as quiet but breezy with messy cabling, and the creator posted the printable files on Thingiverse so others can replicate and verify the results.
