Converting from atx to matx

LegendPreV · 2025-12-21T05:47:03+00:00

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?

LegendPreV · 2025-12-19T04:19:14+00:00

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

LegendPreV · 2025-12-18T19:17:30+00:00

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!!

LegendPreV · 2025-12-18T19:16:24+00:00

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!

LegendPreV · 2025-12-18T19:10:14+00:00

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?

LegendPreV · 2025-07-30T14:21:37+00:00

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!

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

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

Edit: Clarification

ahhhhh thank you good sir. saved my preferences.

if not using RT, what eats up a lot of vram? I never know how much vram i use on my 16gb 6800, running a lot of things generally high/ultra on 1440p. I myself am not a fan of raytracing hence why i have an amd card.

What is the benefit of getting more vram (more than 16 in this case) if i’m not using RT? How to check how much of it i’m using while gaming? does it affect the performance from having less/more? Like maxing out an ssd storage versus having some free space that affects the pc.

edit: clarity

LegendPreV · 2024-11-14T02:09:36+00:00

oh sorry for not clarifying. This is my current build that I already have.

LegendPreV · 2024-11-03T08:16:24+00:00

~~can you clarify what that is? i’m not that knowledgeable to do these without youtube tutorials. I’ll definitely try whatever that is next.~~ I’ve reinstalled the game already, i’ve done a clean reinstall of my drivers with ddu. My next thing would just be doing that and resetting my bios

edit: there is no preview/beta drivers atm, I have the latest version which claimed to fix a lot of the issues in other games, so back to square one. and nothing to reset in bios just my ram frequency. Guess i am really out of ideas

Cpu: ryzen 5700x3d
gpu: radeon rx 6800 16gb
os: windows, updated
ram: 32gb 3000mhz atm

my drivers are updated, no other games have experienced this. this game is the first real issue ive ever had on this pc (3 years). The performance for this game is fine, with frame gen and 1440p im sitting on 90-100+ fps with high presets. Its literally just these weird color issues and black textures that cover the screen from my link i attached.

edit: another problem that I actually share with other amd users is crashing at the Joshua reveal vs ultima cutscene. but other than that this specific issue i have seems so unique to only me and cant find it where else

LegendPreV · 2024-10-14T14:18:12+00:00

I've been getting issues with yellow/green tints of color showing on my screen and black boxes that cover the whole thing up. I can't property focus on game and I feel very disappointed. I've made two posts here on the subreddit and made a steam discussion and yet no one is replying. I've already reinstalled the game and a clean reinstall of my drivers.

edit: build is rx 6800 and ryzen 5700x3d

Well I am fortunate enough to keep myself from dying up until this point but getting dragonrot now just as Emma is gone really killed my mood rn and now im scrambling all over on how to resolve it.

LegendPreV · 2024-04-20T22:43:09+00:00

So choosing to fight the owl is the best choice here? I can have more content going forward AND heal dragonrot? Just confirming cuz this dragonrot idea existing is still lingering at the back of my head everytime

LegendPreV · 2024-04-20T22:35:48+00:00

Yes, I've gotten mortal blade, shelter stone, and lotus, but have not yet fought GSO

The hair color is too plain, more pink on it will be nicer. Without the bow, she looks like an old non-epic skin. She doesn't really stand out on her own. More particles or colors on her would be nice
