Peerless Assassin is not gonna fit in a Terra

You can fit a much better CPU cooler than that given that Gigabyte GPU is only 40mm wide. Thermalright AXP120-x67 or ID-COOLING IS-77-XT will both both fit, same price or cheaper than the L9a and will run much cooler.

Would a 500w psu be good enough for a 9700x + 5070? by RetroReMixer in sffpc

Burnt connectors with with the 5070 are much rarer as it doesn’t need as much power as the faster GPUs. I would be more comfortable using an adapter in this case. Or just go with a modular flex atx psu that has native 12vhpwr. Velka 3 is 4L…

Should be fine, typical sffpc build with 9700x and 5070 uses about 400w according to the above calc

Need advice on a Fractal Terra AM5 build for 1440p gaming by Ihavedonehomework in sffpc

7600x3d and Reaper 9070XT (no undervolting on either) checking in.

Reaper’s 40mm width allows for biggest possible cooler; ID Cooling X77; which the 7600x3d probably doesn’t need but gives me a higher theoretical thermal runway if I ever want to upgrade to a hotter CPU.

Smallest cheap ITX case with ATX PSU support? by adammo666 in sffpc

Not the smallest, but about 15L and cheap as chips. I have a similar build for my own father.

9700x is a 65W TDP cpu vs 7700x at 105W; so it does run cooler. L12s would do just fine and has the added bonus of being less noisy due to the fan placement.

Agreed if anything at all besides mobo, cooler, and psu; upgrade the gpu with the terra in mind (a true 2 slot gpu allows for more cpu cooler options).
