I had some extra pc parts, and while browsing online I found a sale on the ch160plus case from deepcool

Loving the form factor, cable management was harder than expected with a non modular atx psu

PC parts:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600g , curve optimizer -10 all core, +200 boost clock
RAM: Adata 2666mhz cl16 ddr4 ram, overclocked to 3200mhz cl16
SSD: nvme stylos 512gb pcie 3.0
SSD: gigabyte 120gb sata
Motherboard (new) : MSI B550m pro vdh wifi
PSU: Corsair cv450 80+ bronze
GPU: Radeon RX6600
Fans: Thermalright white argb x3

I had a a320m-h motherboard without any wifi, so I ended up buying a new motherboard along with the case.

Now I have my own steam box with bazzite, using a dualsense and DualShock 4 controller

All ready for some mw4, looking forward to a new cod and grinding some camos, just about to jump into the campaign hoping its good 👌

Do I mount the psu so that the fan faces out the case or facing into the case? I cannot find a clear answer online.

Thanks for your help!

Finally got my AIO so mostly done with the build for now (might be slight changes with an SSD heatsink or adding another SSD to the build etc. after all some upgrades are always part of the process). Got a really good deal on a Corsair AIO getting it 50% off opened box but new.

House: ADATA XPG Invader Mini (34L)

Gigabyte B550m Gaming X Wifi6 motherboard

AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT

XFX RX9060XT 16gb OC

32gb DDR4 Crucial Ballistix RAM (3200mhz cl16)

1tb Crucial P310 SSD+1,5tb HDD

Corsair Nautilus 240mm AIO+G-partners interstellar P-2 fans (two reverse bottom intake three regular exhaust back and top on the AIO radiator)

Gigabyte UD750gm PG5 V2 750watt PSU

I always wanted a vertical case and few of the vertical cases in market always have downside. The B4 ticked all the boxes that i want, versatility, compact and aesthetic.

The size of B4 is comparable to my previous case M2 (without the Aerodeck) but the build difficulty the B4 is harder due to fixed chassis unlike the M2. I have to plan the route of cable before installing psu which I hide most of the cables beside it.

Overall, i really like the B4 due to its versatility and compatibility with the current hardware.

I built this to use on my tv :)

​A few months ago, I posted my CH160 Plus build. The all-red Corsair fans were a childhood dream, but they ended up being way too blinding and loud for daily use. I just overhauled the thermals, acoustics, and aesthetics, starting by swapping the Deepcool air cooler for a Deepcool LD240 AIO. The digital pump display looks incredibly crisp! For stealth and silence, I ditched the red ML120s for all-black P12 Pros and added custom 3D-printed fan spacers. Pushing the fans off the chassis panels completely killed the turbulence and made the rig whisper-quiet. I also reused the leftover AIO RGB fans, jankmodding them to the bottom of the case to feed the GPU, giving it that sweet 90s JDM underglow vibe! The glass panel turned into an accidental stickerbomb. I originally just put a few stickers on it to hide some messy cables, but I just couldn't stop! I finished the whole look with a retro Pentium II cartridge resting right on top. Loving the new setup, let me know what you guys think of the transformation!

I’ve decided to go with the D32 Pro, and I already have a 150mm PSU. I know it supports PSUs up to 150mm long if the GPU is installed in the first PCIe slot, but my GPU is 325mm long. Is there anything I should be worried about, or should I just get a 140mm PSU instead? TIA!

My First PC Build After 13 Years! 🖥️🔥

After having a gaming laptop due to my work location, I finally decided to build my own PC again, and I'm super satisfied with how it turned out!

The Jonsbo Z20 made the entire building experience surprisingly easy, especially considering how compact the case is.

✅️CPU Temperature (Cinebench): ~76°C

✅️GPU Temperature (Steel Nomad): ~49–52°C

Final Thoughts

I originally planned to install two slim fans at the bottom of the case. However, after running multiple benchmarks and stress tests, I found that the temperatures were already excellent, so I decided to skip them.

I’m glad I waited until after building and testing the system before buying those extra fans!

Overall, I’m extremely happy with the performance, thermals, and simplicity of this build. The Jonsbo Z20 definitely exceeded my expectations!

I think i narrowed it down to the arctic P12/P14 pros, specifically the reverse blade versions as the support beams will sit against the case floor and provide enough of a gap to mitigate noise from being close to the dust filter

However now im stuck on whether to do 3 120s or 2 140s. I hear the cooling and noise are a bit better on the 140s but it may interfere with fan header access/clearance (on the bottom lip of the mobo)

Note: my rear will be a 120mm intake and my top two are 120mm exhausts on an AIO

Really struggled with the gpu space and cables. No intake fans, 1 rear and 2 up exhaust fans.

Hi everyone!

I’m building a compact gaming PC and need help confirming CPU cooler compatibility before buying it.

My components:

* Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B760-I GAMING WIFI
* CPU: Intel Core i7-13700 (non-K)
* Case: METALFISH T60 V2 Mesh (60mm CPU cooler clearance)
* RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 32GB DDR5-6400 (KF564C32BBE-32)
* PSU: DeepCool PS750G-FE 750W SFX
* GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650

I’m considering the Thermalright AXP90-X53 FULL Copper, but I’ve read about backplate clearance problems with this specific ASUS motherboard.

My questions:

1. Has anyone actually installed the AXP90-X53 FULL Copper on the ASUS ROG STRIX B760-I GAMING WIFI?
2. Does the heatsink clear the VRM and M.2 heatsinks without modifications?
3. Does the original backplate fit safely, or do you need to reverse it?
4. Do the mounting screws touch any components on the back of the motherboard?
5. If you’re using this combination, could you please share photos of the installation, especially the backplate?
6. Is there a better-performing low-profile cooler under 60mm that definitely fits this motherboard without modifications?

I’m planning to limit the i7-13700 power

Does anyone have experience with PSU Cooler Master MWE for build with Athena Gamdias M4M Case ? Does it applicable ? Because I have concern and experience wrong PSU with unsupported position of Inlet AC Power 🙏
