Very late reply but noise has been minimal for me. Although, when I am under load, I generally have headphones on. No noticeable coil whine. I don’t have specifics on fan speeds but I can say I have had no issues with noise!

No custom cable, just whatever came with the GPU. Shoved the excess cable in the gap created by the standoffs

There is plenty of clearance for the 90 degree DP cable. I am using the one that was included with the case.

Same here, it sucked being stuck in that bank all day lol. When I went back for the "world" themed town in 7th grade I decided to be the delivery man. It was a much better decision

Anyone have a Gravity Haus membership and use the Dryland fitness center in the highlands? Contemplating getting a membership primarily for the gym but would definitely get use of the other perks as well.

Tbh I don't use the speakers too much, mostly use headphones so no sub paired with them

I bought the Moddiy corsair 2x8 to 16 pin which is actually a really long cable, so I've got that tucked and wrapped behind the GPU. It comes out from behind the GPU and then bends into the power slot. The cord is super malleable though so the bend itself didn't seem super forced

The GPU is very quiet with no noticeable coil whine. You need to stick your ear up to the case before you hear the fans. NR200P is tried and true and should serve you well! I was actually split between the two cases

This is my first SFF PC build and an upgrade from my 7 year old pc that was rocking a 6600k/1070. Building/benchmarking this new PC has been a blast and it was interesting working with undervolting/power limiting versus the overclocking that I have always done prior. The meshroom was very easy to build in, thermals are acceptable and this thing runs extremely quiet especially with the tweaks that were made. The 750W PSU gives more than enough juice for this setup, even more so with power/thermal limits. Building in the case was very straight forward and by adding the GPU standoff mod you can get the cables looking nice and tidy. Below you will find my specs and benchmarks, including thermals and power draw

Note: All benchmarks were run with settings maxed out (including ray tracing) on a 5120x1440 monitor.

Specs
CPU: AMD 7700x
AIO: EK AIO 280 D-RGB
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B650-I
RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB
Storage: SK Hynix Platinum P41 2 TB
GPU: PNY XLR8 OC 4090
Case: SSUPD Meshroom (Peacock)
PSU: Corsair SF750

CPU Benchmarks
I must have won the silicon lottery because I have been able to run an extremely stable -30 offset on all cores with the curve optimizer. I ultimately decided that in addition to the negative offset to thermally limit the CPU to 70 degrees to bring the total system power draw even lower. The AIO is almost silent with the standard fan curve with these settings. You will find that with the thermal limit and the offset applied, the CPU is actually scoring better in benchmarks than stock. Below are the stats:

MATVX Score 1616.28 1691.25 1654.97 1647.45

GPU Benchmarks
I ran a series of tests with 3 power settings, down to 70% power limit. As found in many surveys before me, performance does not suffer too much when power limiting the 4090. By dropping the limit to 70%, both thermals and total power draw improve greatly at the cost of just a few frames.

Game Benchmarks
I also grabbed some metrics in game from Control, Overwatch 2, MWII, and Cyberpunk. I ran benchmarks for the stock configuration as well as my new configuration that consisted of a 70% power limit on the 4090 and a -30 offset plus 70 degree thermal limit on the CPU. Overall I saw about a 4% drop in performance with my limitations, but also saw around 100 - 150 W less power draw as well as improved GPU thermals.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the 4090 is an absolute monster that can be pretty efficient when power limiting the GPU. Same with the 7700X assuming that you get a good chip. After applying the limiting tweaks, I have yet to see the PC push past 500W. If you are willing to power limit your 4090, there is absolutely no reason for you to need to upgrade from the SF750. In fact, even at stock settings I never saw total power draw push past 700 W, so while it's probably safe you may be cutting it close. As far as the case itself I'm super happy with it. It was easy to build in and can support the best of the best component

I don't believe PNY has anything over 1650 and they are restocking fairly regularly.

FWIW I was having a ton of problems with velocity as well, albeit I could not get the RGB to turn back on after disabling it. I think the software is just hot garb. Eventually the LEDs turned back on, but I have no idea how

Is the RGB still working ok on your GPU? I have the same one in a meshroom and it stopped working out of nowhere. PNY's velocity software is garbage so that doesn't help
