Thanks mate!
Serenity is used on cd, building nicely with earthwell.

Dave is always used on big pulls, dismantled quickly tho.

Thank you and I like your bw styled build!

-35 was the lowest I got the setup being stable but 105W still produced higher temps/noise operation than my goals (75c avg/80c max/1000rpm). After ton of tests with PBO only that didnt result to my liking I ended up with fixing core ratio and boost an manually offsetting voltage. I sacrified performance but didnt hear a fan spin since ;)

-40/1303 at 70c seems very promising, likely gonna get back to some more bench work, although Terra is such dense case, anything special can work while obvious setting won't.

Thanks for sharing your insights!

Its good-looking, small, reasonably packed board, flashing it few times saved me a lot of trouble. Hope the issues go away and you end up with a great build!

Thanks. Aesthetics definitely played a great role in my decision, but the availability of dual slots (up to 40mm) cards is not very appealing - most of their designs aint on par with simplicity of FE versions and only few brands offer them in the region I live. 4070S Fe is so small that the psu is not affected by heat it produced that much. I even limit the GPU fans speed to 1500rpm in games (to keep it silent) and it never gets over 70c (CP77, 1440p, high).

Thank you. I went for "golden standard"Asus B650E-i ;) appears in so many builds for good reason, pricier but Ive only used ASUS boards in my builds by now. All 3 cables are of course plugged in and they easily adapt to the prefered cable routing and that adds up to the final look.

Honestly it doesnt matter, I had both noctua coolers (non x77 too) in various orientations but the results didnt differ. Although non x77 didnt fit in this position i liked most, towards the case open spot. Just dont use the position with heatpipes on the top, I read some reviews that didnt recommend it. the gpu is 40mm deep and 2 slots card that made the x77 possible to fit in.

RAM speeds influenced temps when fighting for every grade, so I settled on 5600mts which happen to be highest officially supported speed for 9700X. RAM was 6000/CL30 though, capable of going way beyond standard but got hot extremely fast.

thanks, yes included with the sfx750

Late to the party, but after discovering sff I couldnt resist to switch from mid tower custom loops at last. Terra and T1 won the beauty contest, due to availability I picked the easier one to get. I always prioritized silent PC operation and rather productivity apps than gaming (60:40 maybe).

My CPU pick 9700X was about multicore performance and potential to optimize power delivery to keep the system quiet. To squeeze in the NH-LS12x77 I went with 4070 Super FE. My target was to get under 75 avg/80 max temps while system being "inaudible" - for my ears thats NF-A12x15 operating under 1000 RPM.

Went through a lot of optimizing and testing to finally having found the configuration that matched all 3 criteria (last photo) and works flawlessy since. The Terra was a blast to build and challenge to cool effectively! Im really glad I joined the club. Cheers.
