GPU backplate heating PSU dramaticlly

IS-60 and MSI B450i= Not tight enough?

So I recently got my system running and I noticed that the Heatsink doesn't actually makes good contact with my CPU, R5 3400G.

I can clearly see a little gap between the HS and the cpu. When I take off the heatsink, the Thermal compound isn't well distributed at all. It's like a concentrated blob, instead of a thin layer of paste.

Is there any way to fix this?

Maybe buy longer screws or maybe buy a backplate?

Thermalright CPU cooler for Node 202

I have a Node 202 since a couple of years. Until Christmas time I was running a Ryzen 3 1200 with a Spire cooler with on top a Noctua 90mm fan (tight but it fitted). Then, I have upgraded to a Ryzen 3300x that unfortunately runs much hotter. As I want something cool and quiet, I had to set its TDP to 45 W to make it works.

I am looking now for a better solution. In the past I saw a lot of people suggesting the Cryorig C7 or ID cooling IS 60, are they still valid? I saw that now Thermalright sells two models, the axp 90 and 100 that looks better for the price: any opinion on those?

Downsizing... again (Ryzen 3900X + RTX 3070)

Nr200p + 3900x + Arctic 280 + ftw3 3070

First ever sff build. This was not easy. I seem to be a brute with my hands and have fucking in rear paws so I had my wife help out. I built this overkill rig for her anyway who just launched her website using nothing but a tablet.

Test fitting without the pump

Toiiiight

The 3070 and the noctua fans are kissing. I placed one of those rubber noctua connecter between the gpu and the fan all the way at the end to assure there isn't contact and to avoid extra sag. This gpu is a big Boi.

My favorite side because it just looks clean.

The lil beast

All in all this was very fun. Mostly because my awesome wife helped me do it. She made a single mistake in connecting the front panel connectors but we figured it out within minutes of trying to boot lol. It's so quiet and cool that it's making me want to finally ditch my 760t that's been breaking the silence in our room for the last 5 years. I'm starting to look around to see what I can do with my rig to downsize even if it isn't as small as this.

Some tips so you don't make the same mistakes I did if you go with the same and cooler: the Psu should be put on the lowest setting possible or the top panel won't close with the fsnt mounted on top. Test fit everything so you know once everything is screwed on you won't have to open it back up again. Be ready to move cables away from fans if when you boot you hear the fans rubbing on anything. I had to bend the frame slightly to squeeze the rad in. Was willing to risk and Jerry rig it if I didn't fit but luckily didn't have to. Zip tie everything.

Hello, welcome to my build! The objective for this SFFPC build was to maximize compute performance/liter of computer hardware, as well as to have something nice and portable to bring around. See the full build on Imgur:

Another Sliger Cerberus X Battlestation

Finally put together my new battlestation in a not-so-sff-build. Aimed for balls-to-the-wall performance and compact design without having to make compromises:

Case: Sliger Cerberus X

Mainboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming OC 24G

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo (4x 16GB 3600 CL16)

SSD: Corsair MP600 2TB

PSU: Silverstone SST-SX800-LTI v1.2 800W SFX

CPU Cooler: Alphacool Eisblock XPX

GPU Cooler: Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Plexi GPX-N 3080/3090 Gaming/Eagle

Chipset Cooler: EKWB Quantum Momentum

Reservoir/Pump: EKWB Quantum Kinetic FLT 120 DDC PWM D-RGB

Aklla A4 Pro with a couple of mods, sweet case!

Although the Aklla A4 Pro is advertised as only supporting two 15mm fans on top, but I managed to fit in a 120x25 fan on top with some clever cable management. Also, the NH-L12S along with low profile ram (I just removed the heat spreaders on mine) can fit in a modded/cut up 120x25mm fan for better noise performance.

ASrock B550m ITX motherboard

16gb 3600mhz cl16 RAM

Ryzen 5 5600x cooled by a Noctua NH-L12S

RTX 3070 FE overclocked +1000 mem, +125 clock, custom fan curve for max 50% fans (45dB)

SF600 PSU

While leaving Cyberpunk 2077 running (GPU/CPU intensive game) for 30 minutes plus, the GPU settled in at 82C (56C above ambient) and the CPU was 72C (48C above ambient). This was with all case fans and the GPU/CPU fans set to never exceed 45 dB.

I'm very happy with the case so far but look forward to comparing it to the Formd T1 when I am able to get my hands on one. That being said, the case performs much better than the Ghost S1, and thermally isn't much worse than the Ncase M1 and NR200.

Photos of the build right here!

I ordered the case via Taobao direct and paid $142 for the case, and $60 shipping for a grand total of $202. The riser cable isn't included so I decided to just order the Louqe PCIe 4.0 cable which was an additional $95. The case took about three weeks to arrive after placing my order. You can order a PCIe 4.0 cable with the case for about $60 but with all of the recent issues with 4.0 cables these days, I wanted something that I knew would work and could be easily returned/exchanged if needed here in the USA.

Overall I highly recommend the Aklla A4 Pro!

K55 Case Advice

Hi everyone. I am interested in switching from a Nr200p to a k55. I see you can purchase this case with the 2 aluminum side panels & riser cable for $200 CAD on aliexpress. Does anyone know where to get it for cheaper if possible?

Also, can anyone share their experience with this case? Thanks.
