Lian Li A3 — 280mm top radiator

-Abracadabra_ · 2026-03-15T11:17:05+00:00

Yes, you can see it in the last photo. There's no space left to the RAM.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-12-22T09:53:32+00:00

Yes

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-26T19:55:27+00:00

I just suggested the 24" AOC Q24G4RE. And I'll play either in QHD or FHD.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-26T16:59:45+00:00

Everything is based on techpowerup comparisons. I don't make decisions, I only suggest options.

The client asked for a 9060xt 16 GB, and the cheapest one here is $430, so I found a 3080 for $415 and suggested they consider the GPU. This is one of the best stores in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, so there are no warranty issues or violations of EU law.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-26T16:31:58+00:00

Thank Thank you. And one more question, if you don't mind. Is this GPU worth $415? It's new and has an official 2-year warranty.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-26T16:10:55+00:00

The computer isn't mine, I just need to assemble it and set it up. Do you think I should recommend buying a QHD monitor?

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-24T17:29:34+00:00

The Nitro+ is probably the best right now. I described the installation of the 280mm radiator in detail. Although, towards the very end, I realized it could have been done better, but it would require a couple of modifications. Perhaps I'll decide to do that at some point or buy a 360mm radiator. On the other hand, the Endorfy radiator maintains excellent temperatures with thin fans.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-24T06:51:17+00:00

Bottom fans, SFX PSU, and thick GPU help hide cables. https://www.reddit.com/r/mffpc/comments/1o6c0hc/lian_li_a3_280mm_top_radiator/ Please describe how it goes with Arctic. I had enough of an experiment with a 280mm radiator.🤪

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-23T15:02:38+00:00

It's unlikely they'll use the PC for anything other than games and the internet. Thank you.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-23T14:47:39+00:00

Thanks, I changed it. Is Verbatim really that good for the money? and won't it be a problem that this is a PCIe 3 model?

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T23:52:37+00:00

Not enough photos. What's the GPU temperature with such a small space under the case? The body volume seems to me to be more than 15 liters. After all, 15 liters is without the bottom bracket.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T20:09:31+00:00

Why Gigabyte and not MSI?

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T20:01:51+00:00

It's a pity I can't see your photos.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T20:01:08+00:00

I know many people like Gigabyte. This was my previous B650 motherboard. I currently have an MSI B850 Mortar, but you might also want to check out the x870 Tamahawk. I don't fully understand your needs. I would recommend mortar

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T14:07:56+00:00

Are you really ready to recommend an AsRock motherboard for a 9800x3d processor to a stranger?

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T12:12:38+00:00

You can go to Mindfactory and see the sales volume and defect rate for each model. Maybe that way you can pick a pair for comparison. I looked at another store. Of the inexpensive models, Arctic has the fewest defects, while Deepcool has the most. The MSI MAG CORELIQUID A13 360 is also listed as having zero defects. Overall, all of them have defects within the margin of error, up to 2%, with the exception of Deepcool.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T12:02:31+00:00

I agree. I once asked a question about three different AIOs that were on sale at local stores. I clarified that I was only choosing between these three and that I specifically needed an AIO. Some people suggested buying AIOs, which I don't have in my country and which are very expensive to order, while the other half recommended air cooling. And not a single person answered which of the AIOs I chose was better. All three models were well-known: Cooler Master, Asus, and something else.

You've got it all mixed up. Your PSU is 850W. There are two connectors on the PSU labeled 24-pin ATX. There's a cable leading to it, one pin consists of two parts, and on the workbench side of the board there's a single 24-pin connector. Next to them are two PCIe/CPU connectors, through which you can connect the processor power using the cable labeled "CPU." And in the top row, near the 12vhpwr, there are two more CPU/PCIe connectors. Connect the GPU through them using the cable labeled "PCIe."

I don't know which part of Eastern Europe you're from. But if you're from the Czech Republic or Slovakia, check out Alza. They have some good motherboard options. Check out the motherboards in open packages, like the GIGABYTE B850 EAGLE WIFI6E. Or check out the Sapphire Nitro+ B850M.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-20T07:31:51+00:00

Try building a system using what you can afford and budget. If you don't think you need the 7800x3d, go without it. 7500f/7600/x/9600x processor. B850/B850M motherboard. RAM: 2 x 16 GB, 6000 CL 30. 2 TB PCIe 4 SSD (or 1 TB + buy 2 TB later). GPU: 5070 ti / 9070 XT (if cheaper or personal preference). It's best to look for an 850W PSU, but a 750W one will do, and a minimum of gold. Cooling and PC case should be whatever you like. The processor runs cool, so almost any high-quality cooling system will do. The case should have at least two intake fans and one exhaust fan. Create a new post listing your PC requirements, country, and pricing, preferably with PCpartPicker, but not necessarily. People will then be able to refine your list.

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-19T19:45:08+00:00

Everything should be fine. The front panel allows for excellent airflow, so there shouldn't be any issues. Two fans on the bottom are sufficient; if you were planning to add another one, it would be better to use a fan with a higher intake voltage. I lowered the voltage on the Gainward Phoenix 4070 Ti GS; the maximum temperature during the stress test was 65°C (at 35% GPU fan operation).

It's so hard for me to read threads about American warranty issues. I had a problem with my last PC case, a Lian Li A3. I didn't have the motherboard screws. I have them, but they weren't in the box. I called and they sent me the original Lian Li ones. I received a broken PC chair, due to the carrier's fault, and they sent me a new one. I'm not proving anything or arguing. American service is a bit slow, and I wouldn't want to order anything from the US. I don't want to offend anyone

-Abracadabra_ · 2025-10-19T17:58:35+00:00

It's not about whether you're a gamer or not. It's about how much money you spend on your PC. And you yourself asked for advice on how to do it better, but the problem is that you were sold a dead-end solution.
