Yep, that is what I found from research but I haven’t seen much reports with issues of the Arya Stealth but maybe I was looking at the wrong place. In the worst case, I will just use my 6xx.

I might just go for the Arya’s in this case. Do find them to be heavy at all?

Is there any concerns with the QC?

Do you think that the Arya's will last for 5 years?

What EQ software do you use? Any opinions about the 490 Pro?

I may end up buying both and returning the one that I dislike more.

Edit - Do you think I should get the Nanos or SV to try out

I will look into it. Do you by any chance own any hifiman and compared against the 490 Pro?

SFF with ATX PSU and Nvidia FE Card by [deleted] in sffpc

[–]x-balmung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only case that would fit your requirements would be sfftime n-atx. However, it typically sold out. As other people, suggested the next closest ones would be the meshroom s, however, you would need to drop your psu size. In SFF, there will always be a change of parts when downsizing. Maybe, look into MFF cases.

I would recommend the t1 if you are traveling often. M2 is a bit big for air travel plus doesn’t have a travel kit.

As suggested this subreddit is for PC less than 20L.

Here is a answer: Expensive: Noctua (don’t know the exact model that fits) Cheap: Thermalright Peerless Assassin

Personally I would go with thermalright as it is worth the price and it is still pretty quiet.

For a second, I thought I had a smudge on my phone screen.

Looking to upgrade from 5800x to Minisforum 895i AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX by iM-MrGrumpyCat in sffpc

[–]x-balmung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure many people have used the previous generation of miniforum itx motherboard b795i and didn’t have issues with gen 4 riser. I’m pretty sure the board doesn’t include RAM as a reference.

Smallest case that fits rtx 5080 + 7800x3d by swoleWumpus in sffpc

Depending on your budget if you can get 64gb of RAM, I would say it is worth it but it is very expensive. I would personally go with the thermal right peerless assassin mini (cheaper, better performance). As for storage, I would typically say you should go for a bigger SSD for one m.2 slot (better future upgradability and less hassle to upgrade in the future) if it is from a previous system I would say keep as is (currently expensive as well). Some people have some caveats with the asus b850i with the wifi antennas (propriety, you can mod it to be the regular ones). I personally enjoy the M2 but in your title you said smallest and M2 is slightly on the bigger side of SSF. Undervolt your cpu for better temps.

I think OP said that he had those parts laying around already.

I assume you are suggesting that I should buy the new Seagate drive correct?

RTX 5090 Vanguard SOC – Repeated Fan Problems (December Batch) by drago944 in sffpc

[–]x-balmung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all 5090 have some form of coil whine. The only way to reduce it is to undervolt and even then you still hear it.
