Ncase M3 Grater mATX build
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my new build. Sold my 5090 to make this build, of course with some donor parts but mostly newish as I bought parts on the second hand market as well.
Case: Ncase M3 Grater
Motherboard: ASUS B850M Plus WiFi7
CPU: 9800x3d
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 G2
GPU: 5080 FE
Ram: 64 gigs DDR5 G.Skill Flare X5
Storage: 2TB WD Black SN850x,
4TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus
4TB Acer Predator GM7000 (not sure about model)
PSU: Lian Li Sp1000p
Gpu sag bracket: ZCOOI MOD Ncase 5080/5090 kit
Fans: Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 twin pack, NF-A12x25 G2 twin pack.
Undervolt on the GPU and CPU, I just followed the basic undervolt from “ImWateringPSUs,” I love his straight forward undervolts and they just work for me.
CPU temp idle around low 40’s and goes up to high 60’s in cpu intensive games, cinebench was hitting 90’s but that’s not a realistic use case for me. GPU Idle is 31 and highest I’ve seen is high 50’s.
I could have reversed the CPU fans for some cooler air from the back but I couldn’t fit the fan on side to be on top without the PSU cables pushing on the gpu. I know, a side effect of the mATX motherboard but I don’t mind it much.
Only need two minor upgrades, taller case feet and I would like to replace that horrible looking antenna with one that is on the back.
