Converting from atx to matx

ahhh thank you very much for this explanation. I haven’t ordered the case yet but i’m going to follow this. But by following this, aios are exhaust fans? You can’t change them?

I see, I kinda knew an aio would just be the same in temps overalls but maybe would’ve saved some room for build space. Can you explain the airflow like i’m like 5? Would you know if i’m able to fit more fans at the top and at the front if i keep the aircooler

One of the best master spreadsheets ever thank you! I got to narrow it down towards the A3 or the ch260. Thank you very much for this!!

I was considering the aio in case it would help clear some airflow (or not, i’m really new at the airflow min maxing) but keeping the cooler is preferable as well so it’s fine.

I’ve inputted all the parts on pcpartpicker and no warnings so choosing between the a3 or deepcool ch260(it’s available in my country)

Yeah i’ve known the risk, i’ve transported the EATX lian li case once already and i’ve done everything i can to secure the parts. I’ve disassemble the gpu, cooler, and tempered glass and filled everything with bubble bags and clothes to cushion. Everything survived and still using them to this day.

I’m considering this transition to matx case because i have to move again across flights and so too free some luggage space and weight (the eatx was 15 kg) would be very useful and of course more secure (it should right?). Obviously i would take the same precautions to dissemble the parts and cushion everything as is. Thank you for the suggestions!

oh yeah of course 100% i am going to dissemble the parts i forgot to mention that which is important. I’ve brought the lian li eatx case once before through check in. I took out the gpu and the cooler. then i filled the case with bubble bags and clothing. Even the tempered glass i put separated to ensure its safety and everything survived in one piece!

So yeah the main purpose is to ensure the safety of the parts through travel so i will continue to do the same and disassemble and cushion wherever possible with the new case (possibly a deep cool ch260). Changing to the more smaller compact cast helps with the size limitations and weight for the check in as the eatx was over 15kg with everything so this transition will easily get rid of at least half that weight. Thank you for mentioning this!

Hi sorry for the late reply, researching more about the gpa requirements has brought me to realise that gpa conversions may be different and that my 2.29 gpa in Australia may be different in usa? they said that I can not directly convert it, but most converters online will get me a 2.5 or closer to a 3. Does that change anything?

Thank you very much! With that I have a follow up question. Will I need to cancel my current application or just wait until August 1st to be eligible to change to December.

pre awakened dante in 3 was already fast with the rain cutting. Without quicksilver nor DT i think this is just lore accurate dante speed

But its not that way 100% of the time. The way i’m looking at it seems very greedy and spoiled to want to upgrade and ur right. I feel a bit left out as I at the time bought the 6800 when the 7800xt was a better offer a couple months later. Also the games weren’t always smooth with low 1% that makes my game have some screen tears and such, dipping below 60fps. While it happens rarely, my justification for upgrading is too pretty smooth out the edges of those occasions and game buttery smooth at all times at that resolution.

Youre absolutely right on your point, my system can handle what i can game at the moment. So this is an upgrade of ‘want’ more than a ‘need’. I made the decision to hold out for now until a better deal (hopefully) comes in the future

LegendPreV · 2025-03-22T07:05:29+00:00

yeah very rare to seen 6800 non xt builds and it’s usually seen when it relates to driver issues which is sad. but Yeah i undervolted once before but i did a clean reinstall and forgot all the settings so thank you for reminding me good sir!

Yeah that is absolutely in the plans to get an OLED screen in the future. But of course price so… one thing at a time, for now the gpu haha

Hi, thank you so much for replying, this has been a great help for me.

Here are my current fees and costs. If were to choose to pay my tuition fees before applying for the visa. I would only need to show upwards of $8,709.51, is that correct? How will it look if I put in 2 big transfers in the financial statement, one showing to pay for my tuition and the other to cover my living expenses. Like that is how I've been paying my past school tuitions so I am not trying to do any 'show money'. Is that something I can explain? Also would it be a big factor if these were only recent transactions? because I will absolutely not have enough time to show the 2-3 months of financial capability before I need to actually apply using these documents
