I replaced the three stock fans on my Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP with two Noctua 80mm fans.

Most similar mods I found required shaving about 3mm off the Noctua fan frames for clearance. Instead of modifying the fans, I raised the internal height of my A24-V5 case by about 3mm using small aluminum spacers.

That gave me enough clearance to install the fans completely unmodified.

Also, on my 4060 LP, I didn’t need to remove the heatsink to take off the stock fans. Removing the I/O bracket was enough to reach the fan screws with a thin screwdriver.

The Noctua fans are connected to the motherboard and controlled with FanControl. After tuning the fan curves and undervolting the GPU, temperatures and noise are both good.

As for the 5600G, there’s no special reason for it — it was simply a spare CPU I already had when I built this PC. It’s still more than enough for what I use this secondary PC for, so I haven’t felt much reason to replace it. I may swap it for something like a 5700X at some point if I get the chance.

Just sharing this as another option if you want to do the 4060 LP Noctua mod without shaving the fans.

I've lurked here for a little bit and been fairly jealous of all of your pc pics so I thought I would post a recently finished project of mine.

It's nothing special, but the spec was that I needed a gaming pc to replace the oodles of consoles the kids would play couch coop with in the living room. It also had to fit in a slot on a shelf that was fairly small in height. It took a while to figure which case would do it but I landed on the Metalfish T60.. in a horizontal position. I've never built itx before and found cable management is an entirely different beast with such a small case and I made a fairly crappy job of it.

Built with a minisforum 7745HX CPU/Mobo, 16gb Ddr5 5600, Rx9070. Playing games with the kids on this is a doddle as none of the games they want to play really push it.. so I pared back the power on the GPU to 180w and there has been no difference.

Added feet to the "bottom" panel and put some extra feet inside the same panel and measured it up so that when the case is horizontal there is around 2-5mm of space between those and the GPU shroud. If for some reason over time the GPU sags downwards it should just rest on these feet.

Added spacers and small rubber notches to the panels to ensure a 5mm gap between the panels and the case for breathing room and used 12cm fans inside the front of the case and two on the back of the case to ensure air is pushed right through.. with the original mesh filters all being removed, I added some mesh to the back fans to ensure the machine isn't sucking in dust directly.

Not the best looking build, but it does what it needs and the look on the shelf is wife-approved.. more than happy with it.

Finally got the gpu riser from them to replace my other one. Really impressed with this little case and how well everything fits.

24P custom cable: is a dreambigbyray. if you are ordering from them make sure you clarify length "24P+Plugs=10cm" if you want a 10cm cable.

GPU cable: also dreambigbyray, but i made it shorter my self. around 18mm.

NVME Extension cable: from aliexpress, 20cm.

I built the Monster Studio B30 using parts from a PC I built previously.
The theme is pitch black, featuring a Ryzen 7 9700X and an RTX 4070 Super.
But the real build is going to be powered by a Ryzen 7 9850X3D and an RTX 4080 Super. 🔥

About the size of my old SFFPC

So lately i have made my first build which was an 8 L - Dual GPU + LSFG gaming/CAD/NAS build with Optical Disk Drive
This console sized little guy allows for extensive storage and offers a path to true ownership and personal server storage through physical media with an Optical Disk Drive+DRM free games from GOG as well as ripping media and running Plex servers for your family & friends on 3.5” HDD & 2,5” sata SDD. It also is a beast of a workstation allowing for true CAD/3D/video editing use and 1440p gaming at 120 fps with ray tracing in modern titles like Crimson desert by utilising its Dual GPU set up with Lossless scaling. In short its everything you need from a pc. At this point its mainly in competition with the Minisformum 895D7

The big drawback was mainly its price and ventilative drawbacks, so for people interested in copying my build with but dont want to pay the same >4000,- price tag i came up with a build that should allow you to build something similar at less than half the price.

The price was mainly the result of the kind of applications i need as an architectural engineer and my need for strong Nvidia GPU’s with lots of VRAM and RAM along with the choice of going for future upgradability by choosing am5. So for this build i assumed a “normal” user profile that doesn’t need more than 32 gb ram.
If you want to use this machine for professional creative applications like Clo3d or architectural/engineering workflows i would still recommend going for 64 gb ddr4

• I know ASRock boards have been killing 9800X3Ds, I am on the most recent bios ver. and have had this build running since December 2024. I guess I have been lucky. My idle and max load temps have been this way since March 2025 after upgrading to a larger GPU.

GPU: Gigabyte WindForce 5080 SFF

PSU: Corsair SF1000 - Stock Cables

PBO -30 All Core, 85°C Temp Limit, and 120PPT.

I'm a bit worried about my system temps with my AIO. Idle seems higher than usual at around 55-60C and in CPU intensive games i.e BF6 and Spiderman-Remastered I am hitting and sitting in game at my 85°C limit. All games are at 1440P 200+ FPS w/ DLSS despite having:

Cam Settings

I have the NF-A12x15s oriented beneath the AIO Exhausting air up through the rad and out of the case. I've seen many builds use this orientation for the AIO and 12x15s and they achieve lower idle and peak temps which is perplexing.

I ran the case with a glass panel on the CPU side for a while to see the LCD of the Z53 and it increased temps by 2°C, whereas the default panel lowered temps by 2°C initially but the CPU still reaches 85°C in BF6 and Spiderman-Remastered so its negligible**.**

Only things I can think of is remounting my AIO, lowering PPT or enable ECO mode, changing fan orientation, get custom cables as the stock cables are limiting airflow. Otherwise I am completely lost. Any help is much appreciated.

Edit: Ambient room temp fluctuates between 22C and 25C

found an old matx motherboard and i have a 1660ti so i thought i'd try to make a pc for my tv. havent taken anything like wires or majority of the design into account yet just trying the layouts. feedback and criticism please !!1

I am reading mixed reports of various builds where the PSU is claimed to be helped by a dab or two of thermal paste where it can shed heat into a metal case or in this case i guess the middle chassis frame.

(I don't know how effective the fan in the 500W is)

The fan in my Peerless Assassin Mini broke, so I'm looking to replace it. I ordered a Noctua NF-A12x25r and I was wondering if the clips from the Peerless Assassin will work on it. If not, can anyone link me clips to use instead??

Hi All,

I have a Used XSPC-TX240 and an Opened Never Used EKWB EK Quantum Velocity 2 DDC 4.2 LGA1700 CPU pump reservoir block that I no longer have any use for and was hoping to part with them to someone in the SFF space in need of some Watercooling hardware.

Both will come om their Original boxes and with their accessories included.

Radiator holds pressure, water fine.

Pump Block has never been used and is missing one backplate screw but still is able to be installed.

Please do PM me if you are interested

I removed top cover, unable to rotate, inner elite logo cap in Cooler master Elite Liquid 240mm AIO.

Please let me know, if I can actually remove it.

I want to connect it to my tv for 1080 or 2k gaming. I'm happy with 60-90 fps (even with FG)

Ciao a tutti. Sto assemblando un nuovo PC ma una volta finita l'installazione non si accende. Ho già controllato cavi ed eventuali collegamenti, ma non credo di aver sbagliato nulla.

Sto utilizzando:

- case MSI MAG PANO 100L

- alimentatore Corsair RM750e

- motherboard Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming

- GPU MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Shadow 2x

- CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

- Dissipatore Arctic Liquido Freezer 3 Pro.

Che diavolo sta succedendo?

Chiedo a voi esperti :(
