AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Noctua NH-U9S (replacing the NF-A9 with an NF-B9 Redux because grey)
Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WiFi
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32GB 3000MT/s CL15 (will be overclocking)
Zotac GTX 1070 Mini
Intel 660p 1TB (w/ EK M.2 heatsink)
Silverstone SFX-L 500W PSU
Jonsbo U1 Plus (I got it from Quiet PC)
2x Noctua NF-R8 Redux fans
Did a test fit of the 1070 mini. Had to remove the 2.5" mounts from the front of the case to fit it, which involved removing the side panel mount which it’s attached to. Lucky it’s all screwed together, rather than riveted. As you can see, I managed to rip the polyurethane foam tape doing that, but it gets covered by the black vinyl on the side panel.
It does feel lovely, but I can’t do the peel if I leave it on
@thevillageidiot, I think people are just not a fan of QLC, rather than disliking NVMe, which is very understandable. I might run into trouble if I’m working on 1GB+ 3DS Max scenes (which autosave every 15 minutes), but even then the SLC cache would probably get flushed in that time.
Got it all assembled, after much stuggle. Forgot to get a PWM fan splitter, so only one of the rear fans is working now.
Motherboard’s chipset fan is dodgy, so going to contact Gigabyte for a replacement. Hopefully they won’t want me to return the whole motherboard.
Moved the NVMe drive to the rear slot, so it can bake with no airflow. Means I don’t have to take the motherboard out to install a new one in the future.
I’ll take proper pictures once the fan splitter is here and I’ve routed everything neatly.
