Velka 7 with a 7900xtx
Hey,
I was thinking about building a SFF PC. Would the reference 7900xtx fit inside the Velka 7? On the Velkase site it says "290 mm dual-slot graphics card compatible", and the reference card is 287 mm (And i think it is 2 slot but a bit of it extends to 2.5).
Their website says 4070 is the best performing GPU that would fit in there for some reason.
Haven't decided on other components yet, but most likely have a 7800x3d paired with it.

Will a build with 14700K, 4080 possible with Fractal Terra?
The smallest 4080 I could find here is the one from TUF. But I don’t know which cooler that can handle the i7. Any recommended? Thanks!

C26 matx watercooling with the glass panel
Is there a way to use a AIO for the C26 with a MAtx motherboard while keeping the glass panel?
I’m about to build my first ever pc, due to personal circumstances it would need to be an ITX and I would love to have a glass side panel ( I dig the look). C26 and C28 is hard to come by in my country but there is currently a guy selling a C26 and I would love to know if there is a solution for an AIO (even a 120mm AIO) while keeping the glass side panel and using MAtx motherboard (already have an Sfx Psu).
Thank you.

Best later model Intel CPU with best integrated Graphics and lower wattage/ doesn’t heat and thermal throttles
I’m looking for making a good but cheap 2nd hand part SFF for simulation.
What Intel cpu would have a high clock core speed and doesn’t get insanely hot?
Thinking from gen 9 and up. Has to be air cooled

Best air cooler for intel I5-13600k
Hi, I'm currently building a mini ITX PC and want to find an air cooler that will keep temps low around 50 to 60 Celsius when gaming.
this is currently what I am working with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p8TkWt
I already know that an AIO will be amazing for the CPU, tho I want to balance temps between GPU and CPU, especially since the case I'm working with will only allow about 4 case fans. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Currently looking at Deepcool AK620 but I am unsure. Also heard Phamtom spirit is good.

Looking for a BORG for MJOLNIR mini-ITX Case
​
Hi all,
I recently purchased a mjornir tower and am looking for a BORG (Stealth or Dark for Vertical MJOLNIR.).
Anyone from this forum who wants to sell it? or tell me where to get it? the official website no longer sells them.

Am5 motherboard without i225-v / i226-v
As some of you know, the intel i225-v is plagued with issues resulting in packet loss, bandwidth cripple…
I currently own an asus b650e-i and I am looking for an AM5 board that is spared of this awful controller.
Does anyone know of a model like this? The choice is not that large as it needs to be itx and am5 compatible :/
If I can’t find one, I’ll have to fallback on a usb adapter, I’d like to stick with mb controllers if possible

Some advice for new AM5 gaming/transcoding PC
I'm planning my first custom built PC - my current system is a mediocre out of the box solution form 2014 and it got pretty slow over time. I wanted to go for a SFFPC but I need some advice. My usecases are mostly 1080p gaming (mostly Anno and Cities Skylines) as well as Video transcoding using Handbrake.
I was thinking about going for AM5 and got a good deal on the Asrock 650-I Board. CPU maybe the Ryzen 7900X wich costs the same as the very popular 7800X3D.
For the GPU I'm planning to go with the 3060 TI but I've got no special model in mind. Is this GPU sufficient or even overpowerd for my usecases?
My preferred case is the Fractal Ridge but I'm open for recommendations. Because the 7900X seems not the coolest CPU the Terra is ouf for me - I'm not that much into noisy PCs and this seems to be an issue with this case. But some wood seems very nice - so maybe one of the Dan cases with some custom made veneer at the front?
My preferred CPU cooling solution would be the Noctua NH-L12S but I'm not quite sure if this fits to the board and/or the cpu. Has anyone some experiences?
I don't need any extra space for sata drives - the transcoded videos are going directly to my media server.
I'm happy for any advice or recommendations. Or roast me if I'm far off with the planned setup.

Fractal Design Terra Mini-itx with deshrouded GPU?
I'm a big fan of this case and considering to switch from my ncase m1.
I was wondering if there is the possibility to use a deshrouded GPU with this case. With the Ncase you can simply put the fans to the bottom of the case and the deshrouded GPU sits on top of it.
How would I attach the fans to the deshrouded GPU when it is mounted vertically? Any ideas? Sample builds? Pics?

Help a PC newbie - Fractal Terra build suggestions needed
I'm a Mac user who is slowly coming to realize that System Shock Remake will never be released for anything but Windows. I also still haven't started BG3 ... but enough about me, please critique my build list. I'm set on the Fractal Design Terra (WAF is a must) but ... the last time I built a PC was 20 years ago and things are a little different now.
Use case: gaming, no VR (don't have room).
Reference link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rJ4rRK
CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D - it looks like AMD is more power efficient, and noise/power efficiency is important.
Cooler: Noctua NH-L9A-AM5
Video card: 4070, splitting the difference between a 4060 (1080p seems low) and a 4080 ($$$ and hear) ... but I have no idea which one. Does it matter?
Motherboard: ASRock B650I Lightning - seems to be the most highly regarded right now.
I think 32 ~MB~ GB of RAM will be plenty, and the same for a 2TB SSD. Does it matter which one I get?

Simple Precision Boost Overdrive (Undervolting) Guide for ASUS B650E-I
Given the popularity of the 7800X3D and other Ryzen CPUs in the SFFPC community, the recommendation to undervolt shows regularly. I thought I'd put together a quick guide on the most basic approach to this technique using my ASUS B650E-I. Other BIOS screens will be similar but not identical.
First, enter the BIOS upon boot.
https://preview.redd.it/hjn3ptl9hh5c1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32001a85443b3d902920ab643c24300d277a29fa
Then goto the "Advanced Mode" BIOS settings by hitting F7 to get the following screen. Check that your RAM is operating at 6000 MHz, etc. instead of DDR5 stock 4800 MHz. The screen to set the memory profile is elsewhere.
https://preview.redd.it/jgpl9rl9hh5c1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d540ba577e84a834056a8eaab402b0013f0c927
Then move to the "Advanced" menu in the "Advanced Mode" (the word Advanced is used way too often in here). At the bottom of the list is "AMD Overclocking". Select that and "accept" the warning that you ought to know what you're doing. The go to "Precision Boost Overdrive" and you should see the screen below.
On this "Precision Boost Overdrive" screen set:
Precision Boost Overdrive to "Advanced"
PBO Limits to "Auto" or "Motherboard" (Motherboard will allow higher temps/performance, so align with your goals)
https://preview.redd.it/7bmdbvl9hh5c1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f33957a613c84d82e5cd006902ec23ea34d8cc9
Then go to "Curve Optimizer" to see be below screen:
https://preview.redd.it/wirziql9hh5c1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6655d92e07468b7537f183ee767ba72475bfc324
This is where the amount of undervolt is set. The "simple" path is to undervolt all cores the same amount. You want to set the "All core curve optimizer sign" to "negative" (we're going to reduce voltage" and "All core curve optimizer magnitude" to the number of millivolts to adjust the curve. Mine is set to 30 and works fine, but yours may work with higher or lower values. The larger this number, the more undervolting is set. Enter your value, exit the BIOS while saving the adjustments made, and reboot.
This is where the silicon lottery comes in... AMD sets the voltage and performance targets such that most of the CPUs produced can be sold. A marginal quality CPU requires more voltage to run the logic circuits than a higher quality one. This means the large majority of sold CPUs can run at a lower than stock voltage for a given frequency. I'd start off with 15, run some stress tests and benchmarks, then go to 20, stress/benchmark, 25, etc. Keep repeating until a stress test or benchmark fails, then back up a level. I've read, but not confirmed, that an all core value of 30 is the largest the board will accept here. My system had the same performance at 30 and 35, but if someone has more info, I'm interested.
I used Cinebench 24 multicore test to test the performance of each PBO level. Running HWInfo64 at the same time can give you insight on how fast/hot your CPU is operating but will affect the scores, so for collecting data, close out all other apps and record the score.
For my system, going from stock voltage to PBO -30 gained 6.8% in Cinebench 24 peak performance and generally speaking will resulting lower temperatures and higher performance under normal operation.
Far more advanced (there's that word again) undervolting is possible by measuring the capabilities of each core and setting the PBO values on a per core basis, but I haven't done that yet.
Hope this helps someone!

7800x3d in fractal ridge temp question
I built my first sffpc this weekend(build below) and i had a question about my cpu temp. My 7800x3d runs about 50 to 60c idle and 80c gaming no matter what I do to it and it never consumes over 30ish watts even when gaming. Is that normal? I guess I'm thinking due to its low power consumption it shouldn't get that hot. Also is there any guides you guys recommend for undervolting it?
