What cpu

[jaunty mirage]

R3 3200G ://

[acoustic oasis]

Guess your will not be able to upgrade to future gpus since your gpu is kinda 💀 (good thing you case has ventilation. I hope)

[shrewd zealot]

My friend had a gtx 970, and the r3 3200g was bottle necking the almost 10 year old gpu lol. If he's going to upgrade he should upgrade the gpu first. Luckely AMD isn't as heavy on the GPU as NVidia because AMD has a hardware scheduler, rather than the software driver NVidia runs on the CPU.

[jaunty mirage]

how do you mean, this gpu is literally bigger than the 3060 i have in my main rig

i did NOT plan this through when i bought it i had to cut away one of the corners

[pine steppe]

I’m sorry but this is an eyesore

[jaunty mirage]

Rude

but for the record it does have side panels

(i took them off for the pic because otherwise it's literally just fractal's case ☠️☠️)

[marsh tundra]

needs some extra clearance as far as i can see for the bottom of your case for the gpu to get better airflow @jaunty mirage

[pine steppe]

The build is good it’s just like the case

[jaunty mirage]

It has holes in the bottom the case designers thought of it

[pine steppe]

Actually wait the build is shit nvm

Wtf is that gpu

[jaunty mirage]

tf u mean

Rude ass

It's a sapphire nitro+ 580

[jaunty mirage]

can u read dawg

[pine steppe]

No offense but like

Oh shit

Nvm

[jaunty mirage]

??

[pine steppe]

Wait what the fuck

[marsh tundra]

10-15mm of clearance really isn't enough for a gpu, you need 25mm minimum tbh

[pine steppe]

I thought the rx brand was from like the 2000s

[jaunty mirage]

There's a whole basement thing with vents on the side under it's fine

[marsh tundra]

i'd call it a solid build for an itx build, the case colour is unusual compared to what you'd normally see, personally not enough clearance for gpu airflow and the front panel not being mesh are the only things that are the issues for me

i gather that's the 8gb nito+ rx580 as it is?

[jaunty mirage]

no ☠️☠️

[marsh tundra]

4gb version?

[jaunty mirage]

I got almost everything here used beggars can't be choosers

Yeah 4g

and for the record the airflow configuration is from bottom flowing upward not front to back

[marsh tundra]

i'm using a used rx560 2gb in my build tbf

so no complaints about it being used parts, other than the psu if that was bought used

[jaunty mirage]

No that's pretty much the only new part

And the fans

Oh the motherboard

And one of the ram sticks

[marsh tundra]

ah good in regards to the psu, never know if the previous person tampered with it if it was bought used

[jaunty mirage]

sry I've been scraping together bits and bobs over like uhh almost three years at this point i can't really remember where everything came from

[marsh tundra]

don't worry about that, like i said, for what you got there, it's a solid build, with good cable management
