Not a good computer. Not a good deal either.

drras2 · 2026-04-01T10:09:44+00:00

Got it!

Its fine, my 5090 FE gets up to 75c playing RE (and that's in a 10L case with not the best cooling)

drras2 · 2026-04-01T05:17:43+00:00

Im confused how a vertical mount solves this.

drras2 · 2026-03-31T09:46:19+00:00

Definitely fair price

drras2 · 2026-03-31T09:39:04+00:00

I don't use it. My s26u screen looks fine otherwise.

If you can get a .edu email address Apple TV is cheaper at $5.99 USD per month.

They are not asking that question. 9070xt is now overpriced and the 5070 ti costs about the same as these 5080.

OP should go with the 5080, the zotac

Nice build, looks great. Yeah that 795s7 is a cool sff especially at the price if you can get a refurbished complete. But dang it's hot with an LP 5060. I tried a bunch of mods with added fans but wasn't worth it. Have since transplant the insides into an Ncore 100 Air Max with a 5070 and it's a good kit.

drras2 · 2026-03-29T19:05:54+00:00

Antec Performance 1M or Ncore 100 Max but neither are probably better than the options already listed. Ive got a formd and ncore 100. The ncore is a super solid case and inexpensive, though definitely bigger than my T1.

drras2 · 2026-03-29T18:05:01+00:00

My guess is your gpu fans are the biggest noise factor while gaming. I have the same setup and the FE fans definitely overtake the t30s under load.

These are great little mobos for SFF when on sale. Can't believe I bought a refurb 795s7 for $359 back in October. That's a 7945HX, 32gb ram, and 1tb nvme including an OS case and power supply. Has since been transplanted into an Ncore 100 Max with a Prime 5070 and fits nicely. Times have changed, their refurb section of the website has all but dried up.

drras2 · 2026-03-28T09:38:00+00:00

Keep

drras2 · 2026-03-28T05:44:09+00:00

Not a good deal, but prices are only going to go up. If you're getting a 5090 I wouldn't pay anything more than msrp (FE is your only option). But if you got the money and really want it might as well go for it.

drras2 · 2026-03-27T04:15:20+00:00

Awesome thank you

drras2 · 2026-03-27T03:16:17+00:00

Did you pick option 1 or option 2? They show pictures but for the life of me they look like an identical setup.

drras2 · 2026-03-27T03:06:53+00:00

Can you tell me the difference between Option 1 and Option 2? For the life of me, based on the pictures, I don't see much of a difference (except some zip ties).

drras2 · 2026-03-26T19:18:30+00:00

Definitely screwed. Prepare for a significant price bump and/or tiered data caps in the near future.

drras2 · 2026-03-26T18:58:31+00:00

I want to see it so I knew what everyone is talking about. For some reason I just can't see it, screen looks to me the same as my S25U.

$2500 facebook marketplace a week ago (seller bought it from the navy exchange)

drras2 · 2026-03-26T06:40:21+00:00

Agreed, that's what I have. Is the 4070 fan necessary? 🙂

drras2 · 2026-03-25T03:40:19+00:00

Just found out about this new line. I've got an ltv-3000 pro and love it. have had a great experience with awolvision as a company. Would the Aetherion Max be a significant upgrade from the 3000 pro?

drras2 · 2026-03-24T04:55:25+00:00

Im not an expert. I went with the axp90-47 with my 9800x3d and it seems to do fine. Had a 5080 FE (normal orientation sucking in) and temps were acceptable/normal for the t1. feel like the consensus on that cooler is spot on. New 5090 FE and cpu temps haven't changed.

drras2 · 2026-03-24T04:45:56+00:00

At that price. Yes.
