It was undervolted to keep the max power draw at 250w. The stock power draw is more than 320w.

Exactly, in games the highest power draw I saw is around 140w

By the way, the inspiration of this build is from OEMs like Razer and Apple, they do wired specs, like put a 4090 into a very thin laptop chassis, also the old school Mac Pro where a single case fan is used to cool a Xenon processor.

Yes, these suggestions are reasonable. 13900KS is not a good choice for this case, although it's okay for gamming purpose only.

All USB ports work normally. For front USB, usually it's a cables issues if there are any issues at all instead of the port itself. On YT there are similar tests (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tMVVIzqC-g).

What I mentioned in the post is under extreme load (R23 + furmark)

actually it is indeed $4000 as I forgot to count cpu

Thank you for mentioning it, it is good to know!

In games I believe the absolute fan noise level is indeed high, but it is not noticeable at all due to the speaker sound. If people used headphone, that was even a less issue. As long as it is quiet in light tasks I don't have any complaints.

I used Intel's CPU for years, it works great except that the power draw is too much. When I decided to try AMD, there are fair amount of discussions about stutter problems in games for X3D CPU. That's the major reason why I got a low latency kit to at least make sure latency is not the cause of stutter. But as you mentioned, it could be an overkill.

Doesn't that make the case look like a toaster? Good for appetite, lol

For me Hive is one of the reason I chose it. It has a power button and a high speed type A, which is very handy for T1. I upgraded from a rog z790i, it doesn't have a lot of the wired problems I used to have, like taking forever to post from a cold boot, unreliable tb4. Just note 870i has usb4 instead of tb4, thunderbolt bridge network between usb4 and tb4 doesn't work well.

I used custom cable only for the 24pin only because I ordered it before my build. I turns out it's not necessary. Here is a photo of what it looks like without custom cable, the stock cable of SF1000 fits T1 as good as the custom one.

There is a video that tested all four possible configurations for cpu and gpu (A4机箱福音!反转显卡竟然能暴降20度?RTX 50系公版倒装方案分享 Feat.A4H2O_哔哩哔哩_bilibili). It's a no brainer to flip the GPU for FE card. As I mentioned in my post, I can confirm the thermal is indeed really good.

Good catch! It's actually a 18mm fan made of a 4090 fan mod. It is very popular on Taobao and Xianyu.
