Decided to build myself a gaming PC, been using a laptop for last few years.
Wanted something relatively small and neat so fits on desk without taking up too much space, so going with a Micro ATX build and cramming some pretty beasty powerful products in there, fingers crossed they will fit, so the parts list is:

I've built the system and its up and running on latest BIOS. Not installed the GPU yet as was originally going with an RTX 5070 been the most powerful sub 260mm long GPU, but noticed new Gigabyte 5070 Ti V2 OC is 261mm long, so it is worth the gamble of seeing if it will fit or not, Jonsbo state 260mm maximum GPU length, so tonight I shall see if this 261mm card fits.
Not messed with PC's for years but so far will say the case seem easy to build in, system booted fine, updated BIOS to latest revision and as basic setup in BIOS I've set the following, LOOKING FOR ADVISE HERE PLEASE:
Mode: Performance X3D:
So I've enabled EXPO, PBO and Re-size bar, assuming all correct to do for max efficient performance, what is EUP? Energy saving mode?
Having not build a setup for years which way back then would have been Intel, the initial voltages seemed high, 1.35v for CPU, 1.45v for memory and 1.25 for SOC. I've used PBO curve set too negative 30 to get CPU down to 1.20v and reduced memory to 1.35v and SOC to 1.20v am I on right track or going in wrong direction, what would be good targets to aim for, bear in mind the case is small and basic cooling.
X3D Gaming Mode is disabled by default, but it says will make games faster so should this be ENABLED, any reason it defaults to disabled?
PPT is AUTO, but when I select Performance Profile it defaults to Manual and defaults to 170,000 should I return this to AUTO or is 170,000 a good number, what even is PPT?
Some more screens if people can review and suggest settings please:
Apologies for screen overload, but having reviewed my settings which ones should I change and to what values please?
Wish me luck tonight with fitting a 261mm long GPU into a 260mm length case.
