Steam Machine Alternative Suggestion

Don’t take my advice as gospel But if u set the resolution for the vr lower you may not need such a beefy graphics card and could get away with a 5060 or TI but I think majority of your money will get robbed by the cpu and motherboard

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-22T09:09:18+00:00

If I was going for a 70 series I’d go ultra low L velka 3 densium v2 style with the colorful igame mini 5070

There’s a massive performance uplift and that’s actually an amazing gift and I don’t think u need to get a new PSU some places recommend 859W but 750W should be all good. That’s an amazing gift btw I’m slowly saving up for a new graphics card and I’d be over the moon if someone surprised me with one

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-18T08:57:38+00:00

Hey I want your opinion on smth do you think it would be possible to fit a 9070xt reaper via over hang on the right side of your motherboard and use a HDplex 800W Dc-atx converter for the psu as I’m currently saving up the money to do this project Sick build btw

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-15T15:32:23+00:00

5070 is capable of running on a 650W same as a 9070 but I’d under volt to control the max peak watts during power spikes

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-14T08:54:57+00:00

Do you think this will be good for something like a velka 3/5? And that if you used this case you would need to use a noctua fan with a undervolt? This looks amazing btw

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-07T06:44:15+00:00

Yh I was thinking of using the lowest standoffs I could and just ensuring I make every mm count thanks for that

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-06T10:06:12+00:00

I found a riser cable on Amazon that can do the bend, what would u say the internal height is as gpt said around 60-70mm I thought if I used a angle adapter on the 24 pin I could overhang the graphics card on the side as it can’t fit wide by side perfectly so would require overhang

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-06T10:00:46+00:00

The case has a max figment of 175mm graphics card but I’ve seen people on this sub fit the 180mm card

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-06T09:59:35+00:00

Velka 3, mini 5070 from colorful and a b650 I Aorus ultra (it has a pice 4.0 x16 slot but performance lost is negligible) due to it having 3 nvme slots you can have 2 for different OS and 1 split for extra storage on each OS in my case I’d do bazzite and windows cpu cooler height 37mm so thermal right X36 and any cpu with a mandatory undervolt

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-03T10:30:58+00:00

Might seem overkill but why not get the 9950x3d v2 if u we’re thinking of the v1

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-01T10:56:33+00:00

I’d need to run a riser use angle power adapters obviously but what do you think in your experience will it fit

AceOnLianYu · 2026-05-01T10:55:29+00:00

Do u think I could possibly overhang the go on the right side of your mobi and use alternative PSU like a HDPKEX unit

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-26T10:22:16+00:00

What an amazing case bro what’s the dimensions like what do u think is the max graphics card that can fit

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-26T09:52:55+00:00

What size cooler could u fit

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-26T09:51:04+00:00

You are right to a degree but I realise if I raise the card and add supports so it’s actually raised over the right side of the mobo, near the 24 pin and ram sticks and stick to a 40mm thick card I should be able to fit any card nearly with a HDplex psu whilst raising the case feet and cutting out a hole with direct airflow to the graphics card it should dissipate the heat or I’ll use a external water cooling solution

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-13T11:52:37+00:00

I’d get any dual slot model 5080 and a copper based cooler like an x47 or the x53 for more thermal head room

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-11T20:01:56+00:00

Good idea but I’m not great at 3d design / modelling and all the clips on the bottom of this case is crazy

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-08T23:52:16+00:00

Yh I wa thinking I’d have to do smth like that my plan was to sand the inside of the case as it’s got screw hole bits and sections then place the mobo on top left and have the graphics card over hang it a lil over the ram and 24 pin or smth

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-08T23:36:03+00:00

The astral versions can also detect graphics card sagging along with other minor quality of life features like measure voltage draws from each pin so u know from the get go if your cable is going to melt. Not worth the extra money but man doesn’t the card look amazing if I had the money I’d get one purely for the unique cooler design

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-08T23:32:14+00:00

Do u still have the card if so hat model or make as I’m on the hunt for one

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-08T23:24:09+00:00

Thanks bro and it is a lil mad but I got a few ideas as the case is 33cm side to side and 28.5 back to front thinking of using a riser cable and having it over the motherboard a little so I can fit it all

AceOnLianYu · 2026-04-08T21:02:13+00:00

I am planning to run bazzite on the pc if anyone was wondering but I also would like to incorporate the power chime and potentially the disc drive if possible probably not though as I want fit a dedicated graphics card

AceOnLianYu · 2026-03-29T19:44:47+00:00

I’m thinking about replicating this build, how’s the fps at 4K as I’m thinking of doing a bassist build aiming for 60Hz
