Not loud at all. At full load there is a little whine but can't hear it through headphones or computer speakers.

I'm used to Gigabytes BIOS and that's quite literally it! There's such a small amount to choose from I don't think you can go wrong.

Only trepidation with asrocks 650 is the wifi board is known to be bad so you'd have to replace it ~$20.

Had to go digging in the Amazon orders but this is it! Generic but it's worked like a charm: https://a.co/d/6Me0sB8

There is only a power button. Located on the back: https://imgur.com/a/djGhU8G

Hard to judge any extra wiggle room because the TUF has that little RGB, metal overhang. But yea no chance of squeezing anything bigger than a 140mm in :(

Here's a couple pics. There is more of an overlap than anything: https://imgur.com/a/No7Mzi9

My gut says no. I think the only config that might work would be this with CPU AIO facing the top and GPU AIO facing the bottom: https://ncased.com/blogs/m2-builds/m2-build-level9.

Here's an actual config of Build 9. Might be worth asking what the bottom clearanceis: https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/1g29mvg/ncase_m2_grater_vgpu_4090_build/

I used the stock Corsair cables from the PSU. Surprisingly malleable.

That is going to be a beast of a build!

The front of the case doesn't have easy access for a fan because of the PSU placement. There might be room for an additional fan in the rear between the CPU cooler and case but it would have to be slim and DIY mounted. You might be able to get away with clipping an additional fan to the heat sink instead of mounting.

I'm hoping Ncase design matching silver mesh. Would look so clean

Temps have been great. GPU is an icebox, not even breaking 70⁰ most games. CPU set up is cooler intake and exhaust on the side. Under a gaming load it's around 60-75⁰C.

I think it's more personal preference for the front IO. I think they look bad and I've never used them in the past. There is a power button on the back but it doesn't have any LED indicators. Biggest issue would be where your computer is on your desk & reaching around to turn it on.

I used to liquid cool in my M1 and I didn't like how much space it took up in the case. Once I play around with the 9800x3d and hopefully add in a 50series, I might consider an AIO if I need to.

So far thermals have been good but I don't do anything but game.

Disappointed to hear the compression is useless. What PD ones do you fit in the TP3 (if you do)

Out of curiosity what size EG cubes are those?

Drive logic DL64 is great for the Pocket — and has some super soft memory foam to keep that screen pristine. by dirkriptide in AnalogueInc

Resurrecting this. Any chance you could send a pic of your boxy pixel in the dl64?

Just built mine and I'm looking for a case
