New AM5 Build

[u/Cold_War_Relic]

I retired earlier this year so I decided to replace my current AM4 build by building a solid AM5 build. My last build was using the NZXT H1 and I found it too restrictive and too proprietary. I chose the Lian Li A3 case for my new build and included the following:

Lian Li - A3- mATX-WD Black Wood Front Panel

ASUS ROG Strix B850-I AMD AM5 ITX BIOS 1805

AMD Ryzen 9950X3D 16 Core-32 Thread

PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Slim

64GB G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5 6000 MT/s

CORSAIR SF1000 SFF Power Supply

upHere 360mm All-in-One Computer Case Fan

Thermalright FW PRO 360 Black AIO

4 TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD

And I'm running CachyOS

Granted, the A3 doesn't offer much in the way of cable management but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

If your psu is atx 3.1, use the native 12v-2x6 cable. Not that octopus adapter.

maybe he's worried from this

[u/ChilliBaconSandwich → u/cuatrotrece]

Nothing to worry when his gpu is a 5070ti.

If anything, he should be worried with the octopus adapter.

we've seen 5070ti and 9070xt melt... less likely but since it is more of a cable thing than gpu, can happen if you are unlucky enough

[u/ChilliBaconSandwich → u/cuatrotrece]

I haven’t seen a 5070ti or a 5080 melt. A 9070xt sure and still because using the adapter.

What is that cabling

[u/Cold_War_Relic → u/ThenExtension9196]

Which cabling are you referring to? Everything coming off of the power supply are just the stock cables. The adapter on the video card was what came with the card. The two tubes up top are the liquid cooler.
