3070 SFF Build
Grabbed a decommissioned 3070 SFF from work with an i5-9500 and stole 8GB of RAM from another system to upgrade to 16GB.
- Added a GTX 1050 ti from marketplace $60AU
- Replaced the factory PSU to allow room for the double slot GPU from AliExpress $60
- replaced the HDD with an old SSD I had lying around
- Added a Noctua fan to provide some airflow to the snug GPU, using the provided Y cable connected to the CPU header so that the motherboard controls RPM
Very happy with the budget build, running WoW Classic very well at 60fps in case my fiancee would like to join me online at some point.
My only gripe is that it seems the flex PSU I have installed runs its fan at all times, even if the computer is switched off. My current fix for this is to just turn the PC off at the GPO but it is an annoyance.
