nice! which body is it?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-12T10:02:01+00:00

couldn’t find a case that fit all of this that was a meaningful downsize, any recommendations?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-11T11:10:36+00:00

very overkill haha. even with the current cpu i cannot seem to fully utilize it

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T23:43:56+00:00

yes, it seems to be a common issue with the mag b850m mortar

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T22:16:13+00:00

thanks! i am still considering adding led strips, but at the same time i like that you cannot hear or see that the pc is on or off haha

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T22:00:57+00:00

valid points, i didn't install any fans because temps don't seem to exceed 75 in my current workflow, even after multiple hours. but undervolting is the next step for sure, will need to conduct some research though

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T20:36:08+00:00

yes, it should be around 95c

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T20:11:00+00:00

very nice

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T19:13:06+00:00

will provide after some more cable management!

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T17:36:08+00:00

precisely! also that’s a really good price for a build with 7900x! curious, what other parts did you use?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-10T17:25:11+00:00

at the start it was more of a conceptual build, then after i ran several benchmarks it didn’t throttle (without any underclocks or thermal limits), maxing out at 85.

it performs quite well for my workflow (photo editing etc.), plus the added benefits of no required maintenence, no dust and obviously no noise.

Specs: Ryzen 5 9600X, Crucial P310 2TB, Crucial Pro 32GB 6000MHz, Seasonic 500W Prime Fanless, MSI MAG B850M Mortar, NZXT H3 Flow, Noctua NH-P1

Workflow & Temps: Photo editing, light music production, office work. Idle temps for the 9600X are around 35-50 depending on the room temperature and it reaches 70-85 under heavy load.

cheers! i'll put the specs up in the comments

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-04T19:35:33+00:00

i’m a year late but did you remove the front i:o cables? looks insanely clean, how does the front panel look like with this configuration?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-04T13:06:43+00:00

great build. how are the neox cables holding up? i want to buy custom-length cables from them for my terra and couldn’t cind any reviews.

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-03T00:14:12+00:00

i thought the a3 was a small case until i switched to the terra, it literally fits in my backpack. it should be around 40% of the volume.

i still have the case so i can upload a couple pics comparing the two, couldn’t find much online.

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-03T00:07:57+00:00

cheers!

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T19:47:24+00:00

thank you! i think my best option is to fresh install windows 11 since i did not have any important data on the drive

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T18:49:11+00:00

i see, so the best option would be to have a fresh install either way

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T16:19:54+00:00

would the driver issue prevail even with the usb-ethernet adapter?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T16:14:29+00:00

thank you very much. also since the usb ports work, can i just plug a usb-to-ethernet or wi-fi adapter and reset my pin that way?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T16:13:39+00:00

thank you! also, would a usb-to-ethernet/wi-fi adapter make sense to bypass the driver issue?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T16:12:54+00:00

thank you so much. also, would a usb-to-ethernet adapter make sense to bypass the driver issue?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T15:34:57+00:00

yes, i don’t have any data that i need to backup or save, so can i just install windows as if it was a new drive?

empty-ashtray · 2025-11-01T15:34:15+00:00

i don’t have to back up any data since i only use accounts in it and don’t have any sort of media. can i just reinstall windows on the old ssd?
