How hard is it to tame the 9800X3D with the Thermalright X67

PC is just for gaming and some casual stuff

Currently using a 7500F

Basically the cooling set up I currently have is

>Thermalright X67 with a NF-A12x15 fan swap (planning to upgrade it to a NF-A14x25r G2)

>Two Noctua NF-A9x14 as top exhaust

>Two Noctua NF-A9x14 as bottom intake (40% obstructed with 3mm gap)

>Thermalright HR-10 2280 Pro SSD cooler (basically another 30mm fan that blows upwards, idk if that even helps)

Would love to know some info/data for those who have tried.

Is it better to just upgrade to 9600X?

e.g. temps with x ambient temp, temps at stock, or anything that might help.

pic for attention.

honestly, I like the the "before" all black look of the CPU side.

on the GPU side, its a tie for me. Both has their own charms.

I know it all gets covered up anyway but I just like how they look and how aesthetically pleasing the inside is.

Im also very proud on how well I cable managed the "After" on the CPU side, you can barely even see a single cable on it.

IMO the design looks fantastic but i dont get why these new b850i mobos doesnt even have an alt display type c port.

Now I am thinking if I should get this ( for aesthetics since I also have their RTX 5070 MINI)

Or the ASrock b850i for the display port.

finally got my custom bag right now and it looks incredible.

​

The quality is good and the padding were pretty thick.

​

It tempts me to try and put it inside my luggage as a check in baggage in airports and see if it survives.

​

Can finally bring this setup anywhere without any worries.

The padding on this bag is pretty thick, but I'm wondering if it could survive if I put it in my checked luggage at the airport instead of hand-carrying it.

​

What do you guys think? Has anyone tried checking this in before?

pics not mine but I do have the RTX 5070 MINI

build by @ander.studio888 in ig.

GPU works fine at stock settings, it works even better with an undervolt. It can sustain 2850mhz @ 0.850v

my 7500f works good at stock settings. only gets to 70C⁰ at full load

AM5 with an RTX 5070 in a sub 7-liter chassis.

Actively cooled by 5 Noctua fans (+1 30mm fan) in a vertical wind tunnel configuration.

Cable management hell pero worth it naman

Actively cooled by 5 Noctua fans (+1 30mm fan) in a vertical wind tunnel configuration.

Trying to manage all the cables from this one was hell.

My gpu to psu cables where like 40cm when 8cm will do since both where literally directly on top of each other

Now Im just waiting for my custom silverplated short cables to arrive.

G2 versions of the slim fans when? 40mm fans in chromax black when?

Is it even worth mounting two fans under my PSU? even if it covers 50% of my fan?

I was thinking of doing this DIY job instead of wasting some space from just a SFX to Flex adapter.

Also im gonna 3d print a fan bracket for the top exhaust fans

I just like the Idea of having a two bottom fans for additional intake and the two top fans is for exhaust but I am worried that the two bottom fans wont be even decent enough or become just worthless.

is there any tricks on how to make it more tight and clean looking?

first time building a PC, might as well share it here.
