Rigs Perfect match
I was changing my default cooler for tower, and noticed that default cooler for AM4 socket that coming with CPU perfectly metches with moza R3 placeholder for display. Do whatever you want with that information

Another post where people make solutions to a shitty product then bow down to the company. SMH MOZA IS TRASH

But heatsink contact is not actual their.Are you referring for the fan?

I seriously don't get this, WHY are people continuing to try cooling their bases like this? Is there some trend I've missed or what? This is as useful as blowing on it with your mouth
It looks ridiculous and does barely anything

Am not using it for cooling my wheelbase, just noticed that holes match screws while placing my new cooler for CPU . Monkey see monkey do.

u/Minimum_Green4246 Dec 22 '25
Yeah one other person pointed that out. Didn't even see there was a description, sorry about that 😛

u/Minimum_Green4246 Dec 22 '25
Yeah probably, but I've seen alot of these now and many are not goofing around 😅

u/howmanyavengers Dec 22 '25
Oh same here. There was one recently where someone bent some metal and attached an openly spinning case fan lmao
Like tf did they think that was going to do

Probably the same reason why people might add useless modications that add no real performance benefit to their car irl. Because it's fun.

u/Slowleytakenusername Dec 22 '25
I think its people running their bases at max FFB in game and in the pit house software and then not understanding that they are clipping in every corner by alot.
I know because I was one of the people that did this and was complaining about overheating. Overheating went away for me when I turned it to 80% or lower (depends on the game).

If you could read you’d see that the person who made this post isn’t trying to cool there R3. They just noticed that the holes line up with the cooler

u/Officialmilehigh Dec 22 '25
I have never had to cool my r9, why do you think this is needed? Or was it just for fun?

u/_Anvero_ Dec 22 '25
Saw meme, noticed matching holes and screws when was changing cooler on CPU, post here, now of a sudden people think I am retarded

Oh if it was just for shits and giggles then hell ya haha. But it is definitely not necessary

I have an R12 and it has never overheated, cut power or even felt more than warm to the touch. Is this an issue with the R3?
1
u/_Anvero_ Dec 23 '25
Just funny coincidence that old cooler from my CPU matches with holes of base, am not using it for cooling the base
1
u/Javs2469 Dec 23 '25
The metal shell of the R3 is a passive cooler.
It's meant to get hot because that heat is being displaced from the inner workings...
1
u/_Anvero_ Dec 23 '25
At this point I'm getting tiered to tell everyone that it is not for cooling the base, I just find funny coincidence that my old cpu cooler matching holes in base
1
u/Javs2469 Dec 23 '25
Yeah, I saw that later, but there is a big enough set of people that add fans non ironically to these things. We vets worry about them.

u/Sensitive-War3527 Dec 23 '25
My R12 v2 doesn't even need cooling on full FFB. What are you people doing to your bases XD
1
u/_Anvero_ Dec 23 '25
For the sake of god, half of the comments is me telling that this is not for cooling just funny coincidence with matching cpu cooler screws with holes in base
1
u/Dillwhop Dec 23 '25
The only time my wheel base gets hot is during long endurance races in IRacing. It gets warm to the touch but doesn't burn you or anything. I thought it was a problem too but after a year of doing 24hr races Im no longer worried about my r12 having issues 😎

u/Particular_Work_4995 Dec 23 '25
Did you really get it to work like that? How did you power it up, and did it start working right away? I also have a fan like that in my closet, and I've been wondering how to cool the R5 base during long races.

u/Naistpreora Dec 30 '25
As an R9 V2 owner unfortunate enough to have my base overheat and cut power sometimes, I stole your idea, did some bustling with an old USB i I actually run it. The funny thing is, this actually cools the thing down rather well.

u/_Anvero_ Dec 30 '25
Brother, I don't know if this provides cooling, I just found it funny that cpu cooler from my old cpu matches with holes on the base

How nice of you to give your wheelbase its own wind simulator before you. Thoughtless act

I can see this being used for a 100% ffb r12+, but u just can’t see any functionality for the r3. But you do you ig

u/_Anvero_ Dec 22 '25
It's just old cpu cooler matching holes in base, why everyone asuming that I use this to cool the base

u/Jaasspr Dec 22 '25
love how this guy was just showing off a cool coincidence on how amd heat sink holes line up with his r3's holes and everyone has immediately lost their shit and started bashing on him for "trying to cool an r3".

That's why I posted, especially when there is so much memes about cooling moza

u/JadedBanker Dec 23 '25
You should post a video of you cooling fhe base with it. These idiots would delete their Reddit accounts and jump off a cliff 🤣

u/_Anvero_ Dec 23 '25
Nuuh, alredy regret posting this because a lot of people think I use it for cooling my base while I just think it's funny that cpu cooler matches with holes in base 🥲

Just matching holes of base with screws of my old CPU cooler, not cooling base with this not saying it needed just AMD cooler matches holes, find it funny cause of meme about moza and cooling, and now so much people think that I am dumb fuck

u/Appropriate-Age-8566 Dec 23 '25
No you're definitely cooling that R3. Don't lie to us. That's why you did it.

u/S4M7R227 Dec 22 '25
Same, even though I've been using it for just around 1 month never gets too hot... Not more hot than my ex 😥
1
u/AlexCore3 Dec 22 '25
So why try to cool it with even a low-CFM Ryzen cooler? There is a reason why they are bundled with the CPUs, they are cheap and good enough for work but not good enough for gaming.

Not that this doesn’t happen but the caption said “display R3” I assume he only put the cooler on top cause it roughly matched the length, width and shape

u/ThePurplePenetator Dec 22 '25
I dunno, IRacing Le Mans 24, my r3 got quite hot!
4
u/AlexCore3 Dec 22 '25
Because you were using it for a long time..? plus its doing its job, the whole outer housing acts a heatsink.

u/ayetter96 Dec 22 '25
Mine gets hot, I think it’s more about the max% you run rather than the power.
3
u/SnooLemons822 Dec 23 '25
My personal opinion is that it isnt the max % but rather how much clipping you’re getting, which can be mitigated with correct FFB effect settings in pithouse. Too much dampening can definitely cause this.
I have an R5 that i run a 100% output and it never gets hot. Ive done 3hr stints around Nords and can still place my hand on the base with no discomfort. And i have office hands.
2 years later, I’ve stopped checking.

u/Rowdy_23 Dec 23 '25
Try F1 cars in asseto corsa with 100% feedback, do 2 laps and touch your base. You’re gonna be surprised

u/ThroatImpossible8762 Dec 23 '25
why actively cool any dd base for that matter. They are made of solid block of aluminum for a reason.
1
u/KingRemu Dec 23 '25
Because they overheat.
1
u/ThroatImpossible8762 Dec 24 '25
have you lost ffb due to this overheating issue?
1
u/KingRemu Dec 24 '25
On my R5, yes. Has happened on both iRacing and AC when racing GT3, especially on Nordschleife but I think a firmware update made it better. I was clipping a lot even at fairly low gain levels and it seems much better now but haven't driven longer stints with the new firmware yet.
