Sick build Im thinking of doing a case swap to the a3 and i have a few questions
Is that a matx motherboard or an itx one and also is it an sfx power supply?

[sterile basin]

Matx and atx psu

You can fit itx mobo and sfx psu too

[alpine kettle]

Yeah I thought so it’s such a great case with good compatibility did you have any clearance issues like were the cables difficult to route from the psu or was it all fine

[sterile basin]

Tried a few configs

Cable management isnt bad at all

[alpine kettle]

Yeah that seems fine for cable management

And the side mount works fine with an atx psu I didn’t even know it could do that haha

[sterile basin]

Tried a bunch of configs

Honestly gpu bottom intake if u can and air cooler is the best

Or aio top and fans bottom

[alpine kettle]

Yeah I have a single tower air cooler and no vgpu mount lol so I’ll be fine

[sterile basin]

I have an aio from my old build but couldnt fit it due to the ram/ram slots being too high

[sterile basin]

Yeah

Also make sure the motherboard youre buying has pcie from 1st slot

See

[alpine kettle]

The only problem is my case has 3 140mm fans in the front so I’d have to buy more lol

[sterile basin]

You can fit 2 of them up top

[alpine kettle]

Oh actual thats good thanks

[sterile basin]

Maybe both intake

Intake bottom from gpu

And exhaust it all out the back

[alpine kettle]

I think pcie is second slot but I only have a 2 slot card anyway

[sterile basin]

Yeah its fine

[alpine kettle]

Good

[sterile basin]

I had a nitro+ 7900xt before and that couldve been my issue but i sold it before building in A3

[alpine kettle]

Yeah I’ll wait for it to go on sale then I might get it it’s sooo clean especially the wood one I’ve been wanting a small build for a while

[sterile basin]

Nice

I couldnt find wood in stock

[alpine kettle]

Dang that’s sad

[sterile basin]

Eh ill just make some holes in the front panel

[alpine kettle]

Still the plain black is very clean

[alpine kettle]

Yeah that works haha

[sterile basin]

Drill it with a really thin tip

[alpine kettle]

Yep diy mesh

[slate current]

Its a 160mm psu with a mATX

Works for me

the pcie slot starts at 2nd too
