And I’m so happy I did. Shoutout to [u/](u/NextGen3D)[NexGen-3D](u/NextGen3D) for the amazing case design, magnificent work.

For the unfamiliar, this is a 6L case made specifically for the cryptomining-turned-Linux-powerhouse board known as the Asrock BC250. The board centers around a cut down version of the PS5 APU with 16GB GDDR6. Instead of 36cu GPU and 8 core CPU, the BC250 uses a 24cu GPU and 6 core GPU; that being said it is trivially easy to unlock many (not all) of the boards all the way up to 40cu GPU and 8 core CPU. You can even go so far to add an overclock if your cooling and silicon quality are up for it.

The boards are available on eBay for between $200-$300 these days. If I don’t count the start up costs of buying the 3D printer and only account for the cost of filament, the board, PSU, SSD, and accessories like usb adapters then I’m in to this for about $500 total.

Just wanted to share my build in the K39, as there wasn’t much out there when I was doing research for my build!

Say hi to Pearl!

CPU: 5600x
GPU: Zotac 4060 Solo
PSU: Silverstone Flex 600W
RAM: 32GB DDR4 G.Skill
Mobo: Gigabyte AC 520i

CPU and GPU are undervolted as far I could go without diminishing returns, helps temps A TON in this small case, under full load CPU and GPU never exceed 65C. As well as keeping temps down helps with noise a ton, which isn’t that bad if you wear headphones.

On the topic of noise, I do recommend overspec on your PSU- I had the 400w at first but the fan was super loud because of the power draw, go with a bigger one (600W) and your ears will thank you…

I love this thing, it fits in a backpack and can easily be hauled around for lan parties or just gaming on the go. The mini WiFi antennas are a must as well to keep size compact.

Any other questions or suggestions to make it better are welcome, I’m all about maximizing performance in such a small package!

I am trying to upgrade my memory from 32 >96 gb for local AI tinkering but the new dimm's won't train.

Current memory trains and runs fine. I have now tried installing 2 separate sets of 48 x memory, but while they pass memtest 86, neither will train fully, the orange memory light just sits on forever/overnight without turning off or booting all the way into windows.

At the suggestion of Google I have tried all of the following, individually and in combination:

1. turning off expo

2. installing one dimm at at a time (still doesn't finish training after >45 minutes)

3. installing one dimm at a time in secondary rather than primary memory slot

4. clearing cmos

5. updating bios to most recent release, updating bios to older more "stable" releases (currently running bios 1654 released in April)

6. turning off memory context restore

7. manually setting ram speed to 4800 mhz

My whole system is only about 1 year old and thus far used rarely for dad gaming:

Asus ROG Strix B-850i gaming wifi mobo

AMD 9800x3d

Asus Prime 5070ti

Samsung 9100 pro 2tb ssd

G.SKILL Flare X5 Series 32GB (2x16GB) Up to 6000MT/s* CL36-36-36-96 1.35V (F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5)

Corsair SF 1000 PSU

Coolermaster Atmos II 240mm AIO

COOJ SF5 case

Windows 11

I have tried both of the memory kits, purchased new from Newegg:

G.SKILL Flare X5 96GB (2 x 48GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3036F48GX2-FX5

G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series 96GB (2 x 48GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 5200 (PC5 41600) Desktop Memory Model F5-5200J4040A48GX2-RS5K

Neither will finish training but after popping the old memory back in the system boots right back up with no issues. What am I doing wrong?

(cross posting an a few places besides sffpc because I'm desperate and need to return at least one of the memory kits quickly)

Reddit please help!

Update - I updated to the very most recent (non beta) bios but this didn’t cut it. Only one 96gb kit listed under my mobo’s QVL and out of stock everywhere. Toying with the idea of switching to an Asrock Lightning B850i as they list a LOT more 96 GB kits on their QVL list (unfortunately not one in my possession) but this seems like a lot of work.

This started just over 2 years ago when I wanted to run an AIO in my 202 but wanted to take advantage of the wasted space available. It started as a proof of concept by making my own custom AIO where the fan and radiator is stacked on top of the AIO pump. Thermal performance was okay, unfortunately to get things to fit I had to do a lot of cutting on the fan housing to get the fan blades as close to the radiator fins as possible. Unfortunately the end result was still being 2-3mm too high and the outer shell would bulge outwards!

That eventually evolved to me wanting to run a full custom cooling loop and basing the packaging off the original idea, and that would also solve the height issue. The next challenge was finding a CPU block that would be low enough to allow it. Eventually I came up with a solution which is a hybrid of a universal CPU and GPU block from AliExpress.

The next issue was the RAM height and the WI-FI RF shielding preventing the fan and radiator from sitting lower down. I was able to work around the RF shielding by cutting a notch into the corner of the fan. The RAM clearance was solved by just buying ULP sticks.

So where I'm at now is making a cradle to hold the radiator and fan, which will attach to the mounting bracket of the CPU block underneath. I currently have one made up out of some aluminium bar held together with adhesive, and there are definitely further tweaks and improvements to be made. I'm hoping to get it finished up before Christmas, and I can't wait to show the final result at the end!

Built this compact Mini-ITX gaming PC inside the Jonsbo T9, packing a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti into a small footprint.

Specs:

• Case: Jonsbo T9
• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: MSI RTX 5070 Ti SHADOW 3X OC 16GB
• Motherboard: ASRock B850I Lightning
• Cooler: Thermalright AXP120-X67
• RAM: 48GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5
• SSD: DIGIERA LNV480 1TB

I really like how much performance you can fit into a case this compact.

This is a GPU Anti-Sag support that can be fixed at the end of the graphics card. It keeps the GPU very stable during transportation, preventing damage from shaking or vibrations. I also made it adjustable so it can fit various graphics cards, like the 5080 FE, Prime 5080, 5070 FE, or Dual 5070—they're all compatible. In the future, I plan to make a version out of aluminum alloy. Anyone interested in that?

I sol my PS5, and will move my desktop PC from the office to the living room (won't need it for work anymore ,bought an RTX 5080 and upgrading it for gaming)

Due to ventilation, two small kids, and wife approval factor, there is no clear place for it on the existing furniture

However, the case seems to be just the right size to fit behind the TV using some sort of shelf

Case is an NR200 I found this shelf which seems to be a good fit

The idea would be to mount this just above the VESA arm, motherboard side facing the wall so that other sides are open for ventilation

Is this a good idea, or am I somehow weakening the structure of the wall by drilling a second device into it?

Huge shout out to Modultra for sharing this. Ditching my formd t1 for a Ncase M3 and doing a triple rad custom loop with pneumatic fittings.

So far I’ve got:

3x ST20 280mm rad from Alphacool
2x ST30 280mm X-flow rad from Alphacool
1x ST30 240mm X-flow rad from Alphacool
CPU block will be Modultra Lobo (wondering if DDCZero pump swap will be possible)
2X NF-A14X25 G2 PP set
1X NF-A12x25 G2 PP set
2X silverstone slim 140mm fan
SF1000 PSU with ZCooi custom cables
I’ll be also using the WVP2 and custom mounting it wherever feasible.

Got a bunch of radiators since I’m not fully sure what I’ll be able to fit and low stock made me rather buy once and cry once than to have to deal with scalpers or resellers.

5090 will be undervolted at 890/2827. 9950X3D is stable for me at -35 CO. Hoping these undervolts help me if I need to mix slim rads and fans to make it fit neatly as possible.

Now just the grueling wait until they start shipping in December 💔💔💔

hello guys, just wanted to make a quick post, i currently have a 011 mini v2 build and was thinking about going even smaller and go set foot in the sffpc realm and getting the m2 or m3 grater . ive seen multiple post about these two motherboards from asus, but currently the x870-i is cheaper than the b850, would i be worth a buy? only the only thing swaying me away is that i heard the x870 runs hotter and from just the eye test seems like the 870 looks a bit taller for clearance. any help or suggestions ! thanks in advance!

Anyone know when these will be in stock? And where is the best place to get one if you're in the United States? I'm hoping shipping won't cost a fortune but I feel like that is the case.

Bonjour, je vis en France et je cherche une bonne configuration PC mATX pour mon boîtier Lian Li A3 Wood. Je pense opter pour la carte mère B860M TUF Gaming. Vu le prix actuel de la carte graphique, je devrais garder ma GTX 970 Windforce et la changer plus tard pour jouer en 4K, car je dois acheter une TV G5 prochainement. Concernant la taille du PC, j'attends vos conseils sur ma carte graphique actuelle et future. Je souhaite acheter un processeur Intel 270K+ avec 16 Go de RAM et une alimentation Seasonic Focus V3. Pour le refroidissement, je ne sais pas encore s'il faut choisir entre Ventirad et Focus. Je suis donc impatient de recevoir vos conseils et merci d'avance pour votre réponse ! 😁
