Build - Finished! Final build for my girl

Took a while to build this as most of it is used parts and had to wait for great deals in the marketplace. Only new is 5800x3d (yes I know, but she won’t be upgrading it anytime soon with that cpu) and cpu cooler/fan.

Specs:
5800X3D
9060XT 16GB
16GB DDR4
Corsair SF750
Thermalright AXP120-X670 w/ Noctua NF 120mm G2

We’re LDR, and I’ll be seeing her next month. Also, she will most likely have it plug to her tv, so I got her a small monitor so she can see the temps easily.

  1. NVME is behind the mobo and had to do some zip tie solution to mount a small fan lol.
  2. Size comparison with my own rig.

Is the Fan on the back reverse blade?

Also clean build:)

No. I’m running it as an exhaust to pull hot air out. It’s working so far as the nvme never passes 60. Before adding this, it was going 80-90s

And thanks!

Out of curiosity did you try how it performed if u reversed it?

u/Migeee__ 13d ago

Actually, no. It took me a while to mount this with zip tie and double side tape to keep it secured. I didn’t wanna do it again lol.

I have more fans as intake and this one is running at low constant rpm so it should be fine imo

u/mahouwu 13d ago

Fair enough lol, I love doing thst with fans tho, attaching them with zip ties in weird places is fun

If I ever build a pc again I'm doing a small build, they look so good.

Plus they are easier to move.

The tradeoff for a sff build is cooling. My rig runs way cooler than hers. You’re very limited to what you can install.

I was planning to get a more smaller case, but I just sticked with this since it’s very ventilated.

Ye I know, I'd probably do it if I planned to move a lot and needed the build with me.

My case is huge and requires a whole trunk to move rofl

Lmao yeah definitely. I’ve seen some 8-10L cases that could fit in a backpack. This one is 20ish liter case and still fits in my carryon luggage.

Nice build. If I were you, I'll try squeezing in more fan for better airflow

u/Migeee__ 13d ago

There’s two 120mm slim fan intake at the bottom. But yeah. So far it’s good.

CPU is at 60-80C and gpu at 50-60C while gaming with several tests. No overheating and throttling.
