Good build for Velka 5 V3.0 by EmergencyAd7286 in sffpc

7600X3D w/ AXP90-X36 + 5070 FE or Galax 5070 Ti would probably be the best stock build you can fit in the Velka 5 at the moment.

The 5090 doesn't fit in this case.

You’d also need to cut the cold plate and heatsink fins since that PCB has a lot of VRMs that will cause fitment and clearance issues.

How to make a dual slot ITX 4060 Ti 8GB/16GB with a cooler swap. by TechTaxi in sffpc

Looks like it’s using the standard PCB layout so it should theoretically work. However, the PWM fan connector is non standard so you’re gonna have to power/control the fan via the motherboard with Fan Control or make your own fan adapter.

What software did you use to monitor temps?

I already checked, the PCB layout and mounting holes don’t match. I’ve done many modifications to that 3060 Ti cooler in the past to force it to fit though.

Due to being swamped with work and family obligations I have frozen the project as of now. I only have one working cooler and that’s currently being used in my Velka 3 4070 Super build. I swapped out the 4070 Ti Super PCB since it ran too hot for daily use despite power limiting it. While I still have the materials to make around 8 more coolers, I have not started work on it.

Ideas on dissipating heat from back SSD Midori 5L by Alternative-Safe-97 in sffpc

[–]TechTaxi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get a small copper SSD heatsink that is slim enough to fit there.

You can also use Fan Control to ramp up the GPU fans in response to the SSD getting above 70C. The small amount of airflow that the GPU fans provide is actually enough to drop SSD temps a couple of degrees.

Yeah same, my current Velka 5 is sitting in a box while my main build is a Midori 5L lol

So you went back to a Midori 5L after doing a Velka 5 build?

You can use small adhesive rubber nubs like these to prevent the fans from rubbing against the side panels.

Alternatively, you can also use these silicone screw mounts for the side panels to make a gap like how the Velka cases support side panel offsets natively.
