first itx

[shadow grotto]

First itx build done, cable management is pain

[naive moat]

Nice

Can you flip the AIO?

[shadow grotto]

I think so just installing windows ATM 😁

[buoyant sail]

Is so cute

[honest hemlock]

is that a 3080? i cant tell bc the photos blurry

[clever lodge]

3080

[naive moat]

How do you make vertical mounts work??

All the gpus I’ve had them on don’t work

[clever lodge]

a pci express riser

[naive moat]

I know

I have had 2 and none of them worked

[empty pelican]

Specs?

[shadow grotto]

Rtx 3080, Ryzen 7 7700x

[empty pelican]

nice

Isn't the 7700x just as good as the 5900x for gaming?

How much did it cost? I might make an ITX build next time i make one.

[shadow grotto]

the whole build or the cpu?

[empty pelican]

wym

[shadow grotto]

how much what costs?

[empty pelican]

oh

whole build

[shadow grotto]

um

thikn around 2.5k not including gpu in aud

[empty pelican]

wow

[shadow grotto]

theres some parts u can certainly get cheaper

[empty pelican]

I already have a system with similar specs in performance so i was just curious about how much of a difference parts costs in different countries

but im definitely going itx next time

[shadow grotto]

just be aware of the temps

:::

[empty pelican]

Yeah that’s why I didn’t do it originally

But I think my pop air xl is a bit excessive on the size

[shadow grotto]

when gaming gpu maxes out around 81c and cpu 91c

[empty pelican]

Time to go from one extreme to another

Yikes

Mine barely gets to 70

Both

But I also have an aio

[shadow grotto]

yeah i think the 7700x is supposed to just try hid 95 cause amd

i got a 280m aio on it lol but since the fans are exhaust it pushes hot air through it

[empty pelican]

I have a 5900x it shouldn’t be that much more difficult to cool

[shadow grotto]

apparenlty they just supposed to run hot

[empty pelican]

No

[empty pelican]

That is the max temp it reaches before thermal throttling

[shadow grotto]

i guess but i checked if its throttling using hwinfo and it wasnt who knows

[empty pelican]

It not great for any CPU to be over 90 for an extended period of time

[shadow grotto]

nah its just when gaming optherwise its around 70

should be fine

ay

[empty pelican]

looked it up and got second opinions and it turns out I was wrong. Nice to know I had the wrong opinion on things for like 4 years 💀

[empty pelican]

Me when I spread misinformation on the internet 😈

anyway I can’t wait until next Gen when there will be people shoving these beast parts into a lunchbox
