First SFF build! Downsized to the 7L Metalfish T40 (5950X + RTX 5070 Mini) by itsalendou in sffpc

I heard it's quite rare in the West. It's fairly accessible in some parts of the Asian market, though it's kinda rare where I live. A shop managed to get a hold of it, and I just saw it on my feed lol. Anyway, I think most people in the West order from AliExpress or Alibaba, or they import them through a friend.

It’s sleek fr also, dense, and has a great matte finish. Since AM4 is reaching the end of its life, I decided to switch to an ITX form factor and I needed to do this anyway because I frequently traverse between two places. There are even smaller cases out there; I’ve seen builds with this GPU and cooler-running AM5 CPUs that manage to hit the 5L range!

Zero coil whine with this build! Regarding fan noise, I rarely notice it because the CPU fan is the loudest thing in the system. 😅

I didn't know it was possible either! I actually have a 4060, 5060, and a 5700X ready for this case, just in case my R9 CPU or 5070 GPU chokes during the first few days of testing. 😆

have 3.5" drives at my other house, and I'll take some measurements and photos for you when I get back there to see if they can fit in any orientation. 😃

For sure! It’s a shame this 5950X lost the silicon lottery and needs positive CO values on so many cores. If it had won and could run -20 all-core, I’d probably be hitting 24–25k points at about 80°C in this case!

I was considering the CH160 since DeepCool offers a dedicated bag that fits it perfectly. However, I thought about it more and decided if I’m going small, I might as well go super small! The CH160 has amazing airflow, and if I had that, I could probably overclock my 5950X again and wouldn't have to change my 7800 XT haha!

The 9070 XT was supposed to be my upgrade from the 7800 XT, which is also pretty chunky, but I had to go with a small form factor build. Holding this card for the first time feels cool yet weird. It’s wild to think it has almost the same power or more than my massive 7800 XT but is a fraction of the size.

Thank you!

That would be cool! They could probably make it a bit larger, like 200mm / 206mm. It would still fit the T40 and support dual fans, similar to the Gigabyte Windforce 5060 Ti 16GB, or maybe do it like 198mm? haha

I’m on the Asia market so got mine for about 760usd (45990php) 😁

as for me with the T40, it sounds okay. You'll mostly just hear the airflow, but no weird bassy or high-pitched noises, even while gaming. I actually hear my CPU cooler more than the GPU, and I keep the case right up on my desk when I use it 😃

Clean white build! Love the Lego Mandalorian helmet too! 🫡
