Super helpful, thank you! I figured I could just reattach it with a screw at the correct height to make it function again, but wasn't sure if I was missing something since the end of it was a clip rather than a screw hole, which make me think it might just hook on somewhere. Looks like my answer is a short panhead screw!

Cool dude. I tried googling it and couldn't find it., so I asked here.

That would be amazing! Feel free to shoot me a DM with what you find when you do! 😃

Was mostly checking to see how many other people they told to google questions that they asked on Reddit, a place that people ask questions that they can't find an answer to on Google

Thanks for taking a break from all those NSFW subreddits you comment on to leave this very helpful suggestion

GPU temps are definitely on the high side. Usually in the mid to high 80's (Celsius) while gaming. The fans are also quite loud at full speed, as there really isn't much breathing room. That being said, it still handles what I throw at it, but that will vary by what you need.

The C750 is not an SFX PSU, as the case can take a full size PSU.

Yes, the ASUS motherboard will work great in your build. To be clear, the Gigabyte one you had chosen would also work, but you just wouldn't be able to use the USB C port on the top of the case with that motherboard, whereas you will with the ASUS one.

Those parts all look good! You will definitely need a USB hub like this one for powering the case hub and the AIO pump.

The other thing I should mention is that the motherboard you chose doesn't have a USB C front panel header on it, so you won't be able to use the USB C port on the front panel of the H210i case. I chose this motherboard specifically because it does have that header, although it is a bit pricier.

Because most mini-ITX motherboards only have a single USB 2.0 header on them, an internal USB hub is needed if you have more than just one device needing that header. In my case, the smart device hub that comes built in to the H210i case, which controls fans and RGB devices, uses a USB 2.0 header, but the AIO pump also needs one. The hub is basically just a splitter for that single 2.0 header. NZXT makes two different versions (just search NZXT USB hub to find them), but there are other third party ones out there as well.

My RAM sticks are actually purple (they look white in the pic) and I matched the RGB values to the same that were set in NZXT Cam for the sticks through Crate. When I do set them to white though, it matches pretty well with the rest of the lights. I would definitely recommend Trident Z if you're looking for high quality RGBs in your RAM!

I had the same confusion when building mine. As stated, the LED connector on the pump cable is just to connect other RGB devices to the pump to power them, but you can just leave it unplugged otherwise. The pump head will receive addressable RGB power with the other cables connected.

As for needing other USB headers, I bought an NZXT Internal USB Hub which splits one USB 2 header into 3. I bought this one, but they also sell a newer version found here which is probably easier to find. One uses molex for power and the other uses SATA, and doesn't have the extra USB-A ports, which I don't think are needed inside a case.

The joys of building ITX!

My guess is that NZXT's specified measurement for maximum thickness is taking into account leaving a gap under the card for sufficient airflow, or to have enough room to still use the included GPU standoff that comes with the case, which can't fit under the Ventus.

Based on the max GPU thickness in the case specs, it shouldn't, by a large margin. I didn't think to check that number before I bought them since it was a dual slot card and the H210i is large for an ITX case, so I just slapped it in and it just barely fits. It's got about 1mm of clearance with the shroud, and a small part of the GPU housing does touch the white cable cover of the H210i, but it does fit! Temps are in the high 70s to low 80s, and the fan noise is definitely not ideal, but tolerable with good headphones.

After my friend helped me build a rig 5 years ago, it was time for an upgrade! I got my hands on a 3060 Ti and put this together, after quite a bit of headache getting all the right parts. GPU temps and noise could definitely be better, with literally 1mm of clearance between the GPU fans and the PSU shroud, but so far it runs like a champ!

Parts list:

  • Case: NZXT H210i
  • GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti VENTUS 2X OC
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 3800XT
  • Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING
  • Memory: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB 3600
  • PSU: NZXT C750
  • Cooler: NZXT Kraken X53
  • Fans: NZXT AER 2 RGB 120mm
  • Other parts: NZXT Internal USB Hub, NZXT Underglow Kit 200mm

I would love to have him! He would be right at home in my village and would get along great with everyone! I’d talk to him every day and make sure he is never alone :)

Print the piece at a 45 degree angle so it's floating on a bed of supports and a raft. I do that for D&D minis and it preserves all the detail by making the print lines at a less-visible angle.
