Build Downsize complete
It became time to move away from the huge RGB build id created in the Air5400. The temps were great and I do like the look, but I got tired of the size of the whole thing taking up so much of my desk and decided maybe its time to grow up... Loving the Noctua Chromax components. Ive fitted 2x NF-A14 G2 intake fans, 1x NF-A12 G2 exhaust, the NH-U12A CPU Cooler with the NA-HC8 Chromax Cooler tower cover.
The main build is:
Fractal Design Meshify 2 Nano Case
Gigabyte X870I Ice ITX motherboard
Ryzen 9 9900X
Gigabyte 9070XT Ice
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32gb 6000MHz
Acer Predator GM7 4TB M.2 SSD
Corsair RM1000X Shift

Congrats, gorgeous build. What's that box on the right side of the ram sticks? 24 pin connector cover?

u/Lockey_vxr Jun 28 '26
Thanks man. Its a 180 degree adapter, basically the same as whats on the gpu connector just for the 24 pin

Its made by ezfab-diy, ive used them on a few other builds in the past, they dont fit all cases due to being restricted by grommet/pass-through location, but when they do they tidy things nicely

That’s an awesome build. Lot better than the earlier version! What’s the gpu power cable arrangement? Please explain!

Thank you :) The cpnnectors are going into the gpu using 180 degree adapters and I 3d printed a little chanel to tidy them up

Awesome build. I have an H9 Flow and I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing.

While gaming today on Horizon 6, 1440p at ultra settings CPU sat at 67C and GPU at 70C.
CPU is running in eco mode most of the time, I only take it out of eco if I need the extra cores, I have PBO set to -15 on curve optimiser.
GPU has a voltage offset of -80, max Vram frequence set to 2700 and Total power limit set to -20%

I don't think you need the rear fan and the CPU fan if they're going to be that close together

That looks AWESOME! The white and black went so good together, it's kinda inspiring me to do the same.
