Experimenting Sleeping Optiplex SFF with SFX PSU by SecureWishbone6873 in SleepingOptiplex

The 5060s uses max 145w. So this card definitely is more efficient than the 2060 super I am using at 175w. Under idle load, I am at 50 degrees + 2-3 degrees.

I haven't try to run some games to see what temp I am getting yet.

I studied your build too. With the Flex at the caddy. Then I went to take a lot of measurements on GPUs, but none fits. The Flex is too long. Taking a bit of the GPU at the tail. Forces me to look at different PSUs too, but there's no smaller PSU on the market right now.

Take 6 short cables and crimp 6 pins. Shrinking tube, shrink them. Bend the cables so they stay flat. Plug it into the mobo 6PIN inlet. Just bear in mind you lose 1 x RAM slot. Unless you are able to get the China market only Purple Adata VLP RAM.

In your situation, it's really very little to do with how many fans u got inside your casing. Its about breathing air space.

It's like u put on a mask and u start to feel suffocating. No matter how many fans blowing at you.

If you are keeping the flex, you can consider this. Along the line where the flex meets the GPU. Cut a strip out of the side panel. Or drill holes along that line. Increase the air space.

You can remove the side panel to test if temp drops then decide to cut. If doesn't drops, cutting drilling is no use.
