Size comparison between my old rig and my new one. Going from ATX to mITX.
Another angle
The x570-i with the Ryzen 3700X
The cables from the PSU took up a lot of space. Later on I got custom cables.
Everything in the case.
Not a lot of space inside...
... and the old HDDs stopped me from fully closing my top part of the case. I substituted the two 1TB drives with one 2TB SSD.
Finished build.
Inside of the build before custom cables.
The standard cables were quite long and took a lot of space.
Length comparison of the custom cables (orange) vs the original ones (black).
New cables in place.
The Power cables for the SSDs were too far apart (I ordered them to be 0.5cm apart). Due to this I needed to unscrew the bottom part of one of the SSDs.
Finished with custom cables
New GPU came with a waterblock, but I did not have a watercooling system. So I put an Arctic Accelero III on it.
Two Noctua fans underneath as exhaust.
Weirdly, the GPU card was bent a lot and the GPU was thermal throttling and reaching only 7k instead of 10k points on timespy.
Turns out that the cooler was not attached properly.
To combat the bending I needed to bend the heatsinks around the die, because they were touching the copper heatpipes of the Accelero.
Now everything works correctly. Timespy is above 10k points and reaching only 71°C.
My little powerhouse
