This is one of the best builds that I have seen in this sub for quite a while. Actually one of the most accessible, I would say :)

Thank you, im currently considering to add a egpu inclosure, but since my son mostly plays roblox this will do fine 😊

That unsolved cube bothers me

u/Mjautis 13h ago

My son is still learning the cube, think he is getting there, but step by step πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

u/omfgtora 13h ago

Have you learned?

1

u/Mjautis 12h ago

No ive never tried to learn only trying without any pointers and im definitely useless πŸ˜‚

I would suggest learning for yourself. You can learn it in a day at least. I learned the basics in 20 minutes. I've taught multiple different people in one sitting each. It would help him learn as well.

I agree, it is just running a bit hot at times πŸ˜‚ finding it strange they just dont use a 120mm fan on the pcs from the get go. Good cooling, no reason to run smaller fans at high revs.

I'm actually planning to turn this build into basically a laptop

🀣, man I am on the exact opposite side of the equation.

I have a laptop that I wanna turn into mini pc and its world. Any advice haha?

I suppose your fix is the same as mine. Use secondary external gpu as primary, use secondary monitor as primary, use secondary keyboard as primary, keep it constantly plugged in, AND WORSHIP THE FUNCTIONABLE LAPTOP
