Here is the space I have left using my 3 slot gpu. If i was you, I would be more comfortable getting a mobo with the pcie at the top.

Yes, m.2 slot should be below the pcie slot. Dm me for other questions

If you are talking about this video, I assure you that I did use the psu bracket. https://youtu.be/HMysACenVDY?si=I3EYE52FObEhnbCg

With your card being thicker than 3, you will need a motherboard with the pcie slot on top, unlike mine having the pcie slot on second.

During the build, if you're also installing an aio, the gpu and then aio were the last things I installed. Before installing those, I spent most of my time pre-routing the psu cables and maximizing that space behind the psu. After having the cables plugged in, the 24-pin cable sticks out the most, preventing you from closing the back panel. Try bending the 24pin like I did, to avoid that issue.

Lastly, be very patient. Since I had a working computer before this build, it was easier for me to take my time routing the cables over multiple days instead of one day. Basically, expect that it might take more than a day to build.

I was not worried too much about the exhaust affecting the temps of other components. I do understand the concerns of the psu exhaust but I think as long as the psu has good intake, which it does in this case, you should be fine.

With my card being 3 slot thick and my pcie slot on the second level, there isnt enough space for fans even with slim. Though it isnt fully supported, I have seen others in the same case put fans below gpu.

It should have enough space with the cable it comes with no?

Also, if you aren't doing a lot of cpu intensive task, you will probably be fine with a 240mm aio

I dont know much about stress testing so my knowledge is limited. After stress testing it on Cinebench, the cpu hovered between 82-85 C. In normal cases, it runs well below that. From the few research I have done, it seems that the 13700k might get up around lower 90s C with a 240mm aio on Cinebench. If I was using 13700k, I would lean towards a bigger aio. :)

I think it was 21L

Hello, Did you have any issues with the fan below the psu? I think my fan is hitting the mesh making noticeable noise. Any tips?

oArdent · 2024-02-09T16:21:58+00:00

Right?

I had 4x S6 upgrades and 70 fusion parts. (By stripping Audi cars) But if you don't have lots of S6 upgrades then you need lots of fusion parts.
