My first ever PC build. Pretty stocked with how it turned out!
Specs:
Deepcool ch260
9800x3d
B850m aorus pro
9070xt aorus elite
G.skill ripjaws s5 32gb
Nzxt kraken elite 360
Samsung 990pro 2tb
Corsair sf1000
Fractal designs momentum fans 2x front & 1x rear
3d printed legs for CH160 haha does the work but not fitted right.
So I am replacing my air cooler with an 240mm AIO as soon as it arrives and I am confused whether this positive pressure set up will be fine. The reason is because I don't know whether rear intake fan is actually fine or not for the system.
I’ve got a new design for the top panel. The panel is fully 3d printed and the mesh is its own component so this allows for color combinations.
I’m thinking I’ve doing a giveaway sometime in the near future to help me get rid of some of the samples I’ve printed so keep an eye for that if your interested.
Drop a comment if you have any thoughts/questions, thanks!
Anybody tried a 120 AIO with a jonsbo z20 and a 100watt-ish CPU?
I'm looking to optimize the cooling in my Z20. I recently upgraded to a slightly hotter GPU and everything has been running a bit hot. Admittedly I only have 2 120 exhaust fans at the top and nothing else. Cpu is air cooled with a PA120 and doesn't pull over 100w under synthetic load.
I bought a motherboard to replace my current one becuase the first PCIe slot on it is shifted one slot down, which restricts my options to slim fans in the bottom.
With the motherboard replaced, I have multiple visions moving forward. I'm looking to maintain positive air pressure inside the case..
Vision 1: 4x140 mm fans. Two bottom intake and 2 top exhaust. With a 120mm AIO (most probably Thermalright Frezon Notte 120)mounted at the back and pulling fresh air.
Vision 2: 2x140 bottom intakes and rear 120 intake. 240 AIO mounted at the top.
I also have other nuanced visions where I want to install a 3.5" HDD in the bottom with 2x120 or a 140+2x70mm fans.
Small, black and quiet
"Full black" build
Case DeepCool CH260 with coated custom wooden panels and cover plates with carbon fiber backgrounds
Cooling is provided by Noctua NH-D15 G2 Chromax.black and 7pcs NF-A12X25 G2 Chromax.black fans.
Power supply Seasonic Fanless Prime TX-700 Titanium
Going for absolute budget here with some prime day stuff
$300 5060ti 8GB white zotac twin edge
White TGDgamer case (prime day) includes 80mm exhaust fan $28
RGB Corsair 8gbx2 3200mhz white $69
Space ayw motherboard b760m wifi6e $94(newegg had a similar sale)
Low profile jonsbo tower cooler RGB (not argb) $17
2x thermal right argb about $6
Open box 512gb ssd $74
Dark flash open box 750w white modular $55
Tight fit I had to take out the fan to put the card in then I slid the fan back on only minimally cut up my knuckle on the tower cooler
I intend to buy a DeepCool CH270, but I'm still not sure how to optimize the airflow. I'm using an air cooler instead of an AIO ID-COOLING A620 PRO SE for specifically.
At first, I planned to keep the CPU cooler fans in the standard tower case. However, this would cause the CPU cooler fans to conflict with the top exhaust fan. At the same time, they would pull in the hot air exhausted by the GPU and also pull back the hot air that had already been exhausted by the CPU cooler but was drawn back into the case by the top case fan.
I then tried reversing the CPU cooler fans. However, I realized that in this configuration, the CPU cooler fans would also end up pulling in the hot air exhausted downward by the GPU, which would then be pushed back into the case by the bottom case fan.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Hey everyone,
I'm moving to a smaller apartment and shrinking my ATX build into a Lian Li A3 mATX (Glass Edition). Priority is hardware that lasts and stays future proof. I want to reuse as much as possible and I'm open on cooling.
Keeping:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XT
RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 2x16GB DDR5 6000
SSD: Kingston KC3000 2TB
PSU: be quiet Pure Power 12 M 850W (ATX)
CPU cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE (154mm), open to an AIO
Fans: 4x Endorfy Stratus 140 (140mm)
Replacing:
mATX motherboard (from an ATX B650 Tomahawk) and the case.
Looking for recommendations on a future proof mATX AM5 board with WiFi, whether to go air or 240 AIO in the A3, and how to lay out my fans in this case. Any A3 specific tips welcome.
Thanks.

Happy to answer any questions or give any advice for building something like this
Hello guys!
I’m moving to a much smaller apartment soon and need to downsize my PC. My current setup is a quite large mid-tower (~55L), and I need my new build to be at least half that size without sacrificing performance. As you can see in the photos, there is a lot of dead space in there, and for sure things can be optimized. I'm very happy with my current specs, so the goal is to reuse as many parts as possible. Here is my current setup:
Preferably, I want to change only the motherboard and the case.
For the motherboard, MicroATX is in my mind the perfect option. I would love to have onboard WiFi and (in a perfect world) a 2.5Gb Ethernet port. If you have any AM4 MBs in mind with these criteria at a decent price, I would love to hear your suggestions.
As for case alternatives I have the following two in mind so far:
Do you have any other options in mind? If they have a wooden panel in front it's even better. I don't care that much about having a glass panel, airflow and temps are more important than anything.
Thank you!
My idea was to build all black but I found out that the XFX logo can´t be disabled by software, so I'll try to remove the cable on the card later, the RAM leds I can turn off on OpenRGB.

Looking for a support bracket for my 5080 gigabyte windforce sff, I can’t seem to find one that fits !! For those who use this case what gpu support bracket do you use/ recommend? I ordered a small magnet one but don’t want to put on top of fans due to small amount of room
there, more pics on request, cant seem to post so trying single pic.
specs: 9070xt, 7800x3d, 16 gigs of ddr5 at 6k, 2terrabyte gen5, msi project zero b850
back connect highly recommended, outside of stabbing the hell out of our hands if you hold it... like a motherboard, really good way to build. just leave cables to the end, nothing to worry about in front except for the fans. and the gpu unless you shell out for the nitro+ like I did. (other cards have some routing solutions as well)
any questions, let me know!
