I'm turning gpu temp monitoring off, I'm obsessing too much, I can't take it anymore.

My first sff build and pride and joy at the moment, reused my most expensive parts before the AI kaboom. Didn't expect that this build would go fairly easy, tho cable management was still a pain cause I didn't plan it properly. I mostly use this rig to play Tekken and it being 8.5L makes it easy to bring to lan parties. No regrets switching to sff.

CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F

GPU: Asus Dual RTX 4070

RAM: Gskill Trident Z5 2x16 6000mhz CL32

MOBO: Colorful CVN B850I

SSD: Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB

PSU: Thermalright TR-SGFX 850W

Cooler: Thermalright Axp90-x53 Full Copper

Fans: Thermalright TL-H12015

Case: ShinySnake S300 Pro

I want to put an Asrock B580 in the case, which is around 2-3cm longer than the max GPU length the case says.

I'm looking for a stand for it so I can keep the case in the original position

Hey r/sffpc!

Working on a custom ~13.7L slim vertical ITX case (342 x 100 x 400 mm). Initial CAD model is done and I’m currently test-printing the frame parts in ABS for better heat resistance.

It’s a sandwich layout with a 100mm width, so clearances and thermal management are going to be tight. Also added a fun little detail: integrated a mechanical switch (Red switch) for the power button!

Still expecting some design tweaks after test fitting the PSU/GPU. Let me know what you think or if you have any tips on airflow/structural strength for tall 3D-printed cases!

Hey, folks.

I am currently building a pc that is meant to be used like a console so I am looking for a small form factored case that has a small footprint but still let me put a beast inside it

my current parts are 32gb ram, ryzen 7 7700x3d, rx 9070 xt

it will be mostly used for steamos and emulation kinda like a console
and optionally I'd like it to have extra space for adding small 2.5 ssd

I've considered buying the velka 7 but recent reviews doesn't seem good

Hello everyone, for a couple years my PC has been randomly shutting off while gaming. I previously remember it shutting down every few days while gaming but it has now progressively gotten worse by shutting down every time I game. It does not shut down while I am browsing/idle.

What happens:

When I launch a game from a cold boot, I can usually play for about an hour before the PC suddenly shuts down. After that, if I turn it back on and launch a game again, it shuts down much faster, usually within 5–10 minutes. I have to press the power button to turn the PC back on.

PC SPECS:

• Case: Form D T1

• MOBO: Asus ROG STRIX B650E-I

• CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Reference

• RAM: G.SKILL Flare X5 Series DDR5 RAM (2x16GB)

• PSU: Corsair SF750

Troubleshooting I've done:

1. Tested a brand new PSU Corsair SF750, still shutting down

2. Updated CPU, GPU, BIOS drivers/firmware

3. Reinstall Windows

4. Surge protector: I've used a brand new surge protector as well as directly to the outlet.

5. Tested with one RAM stick at a time in both slots, 1 stick shut down while gaming in about 5 mins. The other lasted much longer, varying around 3-4 hours when first switched, but is now seeing the usual symptoms of ~1 hour of gaming then shutting down.

6. Ran OCCT CPU, GPU, and Power stability tests, no shut offs

7. Checks temps, nothing outside the usual, highest is the CPU at 85 degrees while gaming

8. Reseated all cables

9. Reapplied thermal paste to CPU

10. No error 41 kernel power in Windows Event Viewer

At this point, I'm suspecting the RAM or MOBO, but I'd like to rule out anything else before spending money on a replacement.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any other suggestions for troubleshooting?

Recently moved overseas and planning to build a new sff gaming pc. Can’t decide between the kiang (5.45L) with a 5060LP or C2 plus (about 7.2L) with a 9060xt 16gb.

My old pc that I couldn’t bring with me had a 3060ti 8gb Only ever play at 1080p and was mostly happy with the performance. I prefer the layout of the kiang more, but is it worth it to be limited to LP gpus?
I’ll also need to bring it on a few long haul flights

Iam looking for an air cooler for my 7800x3d build, have anyone tried the new an600 vc by deepcool? Is it better than the full copper offerings (axp90-x53) from thermalright?

Thanks for answering!!

When choosing a GPU for compact SFF cases, which dimension is the most important to consider: length, height, or thickness? Are there any other clearance factors I should pay attention to when comparing cards?

I'd appreciate recommendations for RTX 5070 models that offer the best compatibility with smaller cases, particularly around 5–7.5 litres.

Hi all, apologies if this has been asked already recently but I'm just about to build my first ever PC and I've decided to go with a M2 case because the GPU I bought is a hefty Powercolor 9070xt hellhound.

I haven't opened anything up yet as I'm currently having second thoughts about the fact that my GPU will limit me going to a smaller case like a t1 or fractural ridge in the future (not confident enough to attempt those yet). The reaper is currently on sale at almost the same price as the hellhound, is it worth swapping it? How big of a difference are the two cards?

I'd like to switch my Dan a4-h2o for something else, just to give new look to my workstation.
I really like this form factor and love my a4h2o, so i'm searching something else similar that allows me to run a 240 AIO and my rtx 4070ti ventus (triple fan)

I've seen thermaltake tower style and like it so much, do you have other suggestions to look for?

Im really interested in getting a 9060 XT Low Profile, but I'm not sure where I can get one except by buying a MINISFORUM desktop. Are there any other ways to get one?

I just got my Shiny Snake g300 delivered, I was looking for a mATX case that still falls within the "small form factor" category.

I liked the g300 because it's nice and compact, and it has the top handle that I'm looking for.

Unfortunately(?) I have a MSI Ventus 4080 (322mm length, 63mm thick)
The gpu fits in the case, but now I have no more room for the bottom fans.
All the ventilation I'd have is the CPU cooler and the left exhaust fan.

Am I better off getting another case with better airflow? if so, what are the best options, preferably one under 20L with a top handle.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'd like to build a mini PC using the very first ITX motherboard with a non-soldered processor, released in 2003. What do you think of the component choices? Do you think there are better options Thanks in advance?

3d 3.5l case

Motherboard comell LV-670

Windows 7 Super-Nano Pentium 4 Northwood 1 GB DDR 266 GT 430 PCI Motherboard Ethernet CPU Copper Core Heatsink D34080 3.40GHz Pico PSU and 24-pin to 20-pin adapter 2.5" SATA SSD 128 GB and 40-pin IDE adapter

I’m pretty sure the PCIe 4.0 riser that came with my DAN A4-H2O has failed, so I’m looking for a replacement,preferably PCIe 5.0.

I’m based in Europe. Does anyone have recommendations for a compatible riser that’s available here? I’ve seen one comment saying the FormD PCIe 5.0 riser fits, but I’d like a bit more confirmation before buying one. Has anyone tried it in the A4-H2O?

Hello,

Planning an NCASE M3 (Classic layout, mATX board) with a Corsair SF1000 (2024, Type 5) and an ASUS Prime RX 9070 XT OC.

The card uses three 8-pin PCIe connectors. Has anyone fitted a triple-8-pin card in the M3? How tight are the cables next to the PSU, and did you need any special cables or adapters?
Cooler is a Noctua NH-U12A.

Thanks!

I wanted to share what i've acquired over the last year on the 2nd hand market, as opposed to going new. Everything is in USD.

Purchase 1 Asking was 1,000. Bought for $900 - Velka 7 SFF build (7.1L because stand), 5800x3d, Alpenfohn Lp Cooler, 16gb 3400, 1tb WD Blk SN750, Reference model AMD 6900xt(16gb), Coolermaster v850. It also came with peripherals, LG 4k 144hz Nano IPS Display(27GN95B), Razer Deathadder Mouse, Wooting 60HE(BIG SCORE), Edifier 1280DB. All for $900, I had sitting around a 32GB(2x16 3200) kit I threw in there. And then acquired a 2TB 990 Evo Plus for 150 or 160, i cant recall. Then Acquired a Gigabyte 9070xt OC ICE, Brand New for 620(Need new case, to thicc so it's sitting).

Then Today, I was supposed to buy a new LG 34GX90SA-W. Brand New, in factory sealed box for $450. But after agreeing they ghosted me. i would have came up to $500. But instead I bought a LG 34 Ultrawide, They advertised it for $50 and 160hz, So i didnt care about model til i bought it. Turns out it was a LG 34WP65C-B (3440x1440, 160hz VA Panel)

And then the BIG SCORE! Also today, I bought a SteelCase Gesture WITH THE FACTORY HEADREST! Date of Oct 2021 On the Chair. The Seller said it was used as Display Furniture at a business. Seating is very much in tact. oh, did I forget the price? Listed for $400, Last min i asked if he'd take 350 and Done deal. To the same seller I mentioned looking for a Hayworth or Steelcase(non Solo) desk and he said he has a steelcase Ology 3, Which is the right desk i'd want from SC but the wrong width at 48", Looking for a 66"+ x 30"+ desk. and we already agreed to 250 if it comes up. So here's to hoping.

So i'll be selling some of the extras displays and ram and 6900xt soon which'll help recoup some costs and drive down my end purchase even further. For what i'll be selling im expecting 7-900 dollars back.

Just wanted to share that you can get a great set up on the 2nd hand market if your patient and know how to negotiate.

At a local pawnshop, There's a Samsung 49" oled g9 5120x1440 240hz (LS49CG954SNXZA) 1st Gen Oled, I could pick up for just under $500 but decided not to because of the issues around the 1st gen. Like; Thermal expansion, Different materials expanding due to heat at different rates, Panel Delamination And lack of Burn In tech. BUt its under 500. Should i still pick it up? On one hand its an amazing display but on the otherhand longevity of it isn't garunteed because of it's build process. Thoughts?

I can get one for $70 new right now but I can't find any proper reviews or testing on it. It is cheaper than Arctic LF3 and Atmos I/II. Arctic is a hard no since I don't want to bother with a difficult installation. Atmos I/II is much more expensive than Nautilus II RS.

I will be using it on Ncase M2 as a side mounted AIO to cool a 9800X3D.

I am also planning to grab a Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP to act as radiator fans. My ultimate goal is the quietest (white) build as much as possible. Thank you in advance.

I looking to buy 2x cases for a ITX and mATX build, mostly for 4k emulation switch/ps3/ps2 etc. I have the ram secured but cpu but need some mobo/gpu/ case recommendations.

i was thinking my be

Lian Li A3 and Form D T1 2.5

i got 12600k and 7700 secured
