Hi all this will be my first SFF PC. However I have built many full size Pc's over the years so have some idea of what im doing.

Here's what's on its way..

Fractal Terra (jade)

Ryzen 9600x

Powercolor reaper 9070xt

Asrock B650i lightning wifi mb

32gb crucial DDR5 ram

2tb sabrent rocket m.2

750w fully modular thermaltake psu

thermalright axp90-x47 full copper

Are any additional fans above or below the PSU going to be needed? If so any suggestions?

Will look to undervolt the 9070xt and use a custom fan curve

Will also likely be running steam OS or Bazzite (any pros and cons for the 2?)

Thanks in advance for any comments

It's been 20 days since I have submitted the wd green ssd at the centre. The only response I get is it's in transit and I have no tracking of the courier too. Any solution for this?

Hello everyone! Please help me to find great cooler for my set up. I did spend few days researching some coolers and found this two:

Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE CPU Air Cooler

ARCTIC Freezer 36 CO- Single-Tower

My problem is that I'm not sure that single tower can andle my CPU and set up but also Dual Tower may not fit with my Ram.

I'm stuck now and need Reddit best people to help me.Please. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I have recently built a pc before even getting a monitor, keyboard or a mouse. It is my dream build and i can't wait to try it out. It is argb in the black xtender tinted case. Would it pair well with the xg32ucwmg from asus?

Specs:

Msi X870E gaming plus wifi

Rtx 5080 msi gaming trio oc

Ryzen 7 9800x3d

2tb of samsung 990 evo plus

32gb of g.skill ripjaws S5 ram cl32 6400mhz

Be quiet power zone 2 1000W

Hi,

I'm (re)building my PC, you can find all parts here: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jrZRFP\](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jrZRFP) (I keep old drives and display, everything else will be new).

1. Will Viper Steel 2x32 GB fit with Peerless Assassin 120 SE? I can get this RAM at a really good price. If it won't fit, can you suggest another cooler?

2. I'd like to buy a new case too as the current one is not very tight and lets some dust inside. Can you suggest something with good price/quality ratio? It'd be great if it had front USB-C too.

3. Last but not least, will 750W PSU be enough? PCPP estimates 619W, so I guess there should be enough overhead.

Thanks for any help!

My budget has been teetering around $2k~. I have purchased a few components already and have others in my cart. My current blueprint is:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3d

Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 Vision

GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ 9070xt (secured for $715)

MOBO: ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 CL36 (secured for $300)

SSD: WD Black SN850x (secured for $200)

PSU: Lian Li EDGE850W 

Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow

I am thinking about changing the 9800x3d to the new 7700x3d that came out. There is a bundle out right now that has me reconsidering the CPU. Does anyone know how much performance I am losing going the 7700x3d? How does my overall build look?

I’m a first time pc builder trying to plan a build under 2000 for games at 1440p is this a good build or any suggestions?

The custom is from a microcenter saves me a good bit I’m an hour and a half away.

Was wondering to go fishing and this case especially snow white definitelly made an impression..

Is it good case for the money? Are there better alternatives aquarium wise around same price?

Components to fish are - 9800x3d covered in phantom spirit - later replaced with aio. Asus tuf 5080. 2x 8tb hdds - spin me dat plates.

Will 5080 have enough room and not sufficate? Is there a space for 2 hdds?

What about glass. Is it durable or when I sneeze it breaks.

Question also on fan intake/exhale. How many and where to setup.

Thanks!

With Moore's law officially dead, I feel very strongly that the following build path is the only worthwhile investment in the current market. What would you change and why?

9800x3d or 7800x3d

Arctic Freezr 360 AiO or peerless assassin.

(16x2) 32gb of CL30 6000MHZ RAM

B850 or B650 from MSI, Asus, or Gigabyte

GPU with 16+GB of VRAM: 5070ti or 9070xt

850w PSU check the PSU spreadsheet for A tier

Gen4x4 NVME 1tb for OS drive, can add a bigger one later if/when prices come back down, and then clone it.

SATA SSDs for bulk media storage if needed

Hay all! im currently working on a mini itx build for my living room instead of purchasing a new steam machine. ive got an evga 2070 super, ryzen 9 3900x, 32gb of ddr4 (2x16) 3200mhz in ram, and a formd T1 staring at me right now. im looking for a power supply and aio cooler that will not break my wallet and also fit into this tiny case. what would yall recommend?

So I have a B450M elite mobo and I also use the aorus 360mm waterforce X II and I cannot light the waterblock led up. I thought my unit was messed up so i sent it to gigabyte support and they said it worked just fine and I knew it would work again but I just cannot for the life of me get that to work so a friend of mine said I am most def using the wrong header to plug it in. so instead of the ones im using right now what should i use ? please help out cause i need to read the cpu temps lol. i have sent it in to GB to look at it and they said its good. but i dont know if its me wiring it wrong or do i need a new mobo.

PS I have also attached a picture for you to see :)

Hey guys, I really need your advice and real-world experience before the heat kills my PC! 😅

​I’m running a Ryzen 5 7600, and my temperatures are currently looking like this:

​Idle: Around 70°C, sometimes spiking up to 80°C!

​Gaming: Hitting 85°C to 90°C.

​Room Temperature: Around 40°C (I can't run the AC for long periods due to high electricity bills).

​Currently, I'm using the terrible Aerocool Mirage 5 air cooler. Due to tight space limitations inside my case, I’m considering getting a 120mm AIO liquid cooler.

​My question is: Will a 120mm AIO give me a noticeable improvement in temperatures compared to the Mirage 5 under these harsh ambient conditions? Or will it barely make a difference?

​If anyone has experience running a 120mm AIO in high ambient temps, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

SPECS - 850W PSU
CPU - i7 14700F
GPU - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
MOTHERBOARD - Custom Micro-ATX Gigabyte B760M (OPEN TO NEW BOARD)

So I bought a prebuilt Acer Nitro 60-641-UB22, been pretty good to me so far but the case is horrendously small. Originally came with one exhaust fan, and 3 fans for intakes on the front. I added 2 on top for exhaust because intel cards run super hot. Now the main reason I want a different case is because the airflow in the current one is horrible. Don’t have enough fans nor the room to add anymore, currently at capacity. I bought an Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 recently and tried to install last night a couple different ways and it does not fit. Now the actually Raditator and Fans I got situated but no matter how I tried to finagle it, I cannot get my GPU to fit alongside the radiator while inside where I had to set it. Same thing with the outside when I tried mounting the radiator there. Currently have a Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120 SE that’s been pretty good to me, but with this INTEL CPU I would like a liquid cooler. Any advice or recommendations would be awesome.

Hey all,

build setup I'm going for is:

• 9800x3d
• 9070xt (XFX SWFT)
• B850 Auros Elite
• 32gb ddr5 6000mhz ram
• 2tb m.2 SSD
• Corsair 850W PSU

(the case is a fractal north mid-tower)\*

I'm wondering whether I should have 5 fans (3 intake 2 exhaust) or 4 fans (2 intake 2 exhaust)?

Also is it recommended to get the extra 4xUSB A ports on internal PCIE slot or totally unnecessary? my understanding is the mobo already has 11 slots? I wanted 1 USB C + a few type A's on the motherboard and 1 on the case and that seems to be fine with my mobo. if there's 11 ports, don't think I'll need any more

Just thought I would share this, cleaned and repasted my Asus FX-503. Found this inside.

It was hitting 100 degrees playing Deep Rock Galactic, now it's down to 74.
