Tamzzy's back to air-cooling ITX build

Ryzen 3700x £300
Aorus X570I PRO WIFI £227
2x 16gb Crucial Ballistix LT e-die £146
2x Corsair MP510 960GB £190 total - from MM
EVGA 1080ti SC black edition £570 (reused)
Silverstone RVZ03 £80
Seasonic Focus+ Gold 650w £60 (reused)

so i just had a look...my original computer in 2012:
3570k, 8gb ram, z77e-itx, radeon 7950, 256gb sammy 830, 1tb hdd, 120mm aio cooler, 650w gold psu, bitfenix prodigy = £1300

in 7 years to a 3700x, 32gb ram, 1080ti, 2x 960gb nvme ssd, +cooler+psu+case for ~£1650 (and with the added complication of the £/$ tanking)
not too shabby i'd say...

HDPLEX did a case, 26mm shorter but guessing this is due to the Silverstone fascia

aorus might be a bit thick though...

H5 378.5mm x 353.5 vs RVZ 382mm x 364mm

will ATX fit? it's wider than ITX isn't it?
 
Can i ask, why did you buy that case?
i've always preferred smaller builds (hence all my computers have been matx/itx builds) and i did like the rvz01. the rvz03 is less garish in comparison, so the natural choice when comparing both together
yes i know you can get smaller cases than the rvz03 - like the dancase, ncase, sliger etc - but those are like 150-200+ quid and i didn't want to spend silly money. (and even if i did, i still wouldn't have bought those cases as i'd have spent the extra and got the 3900x instead...lol)
 
I am looking at building a complete ITX system or buying the Asrock A300
well i think you're looking at 2 totally different spectrums of the SFF market lol. the Asrock A300 is a "proper SFF", where as the RVZ03 (although still small) can be considered more as a powerhouse small build.
i think you need to decide first what you want, and then see what your budget is.
 
7 year old pea sized blob of MX2
it's less than pea sized. probably more like half a grain of rice ;) i wasn't kidding when i said i wasn't going to waste tim on what is, essentially a test run lol

PCH temps
54c at gaming loads - its getting cooled by both the tweeny chipset fan and also the gentle typhoon via the cpu cooler

CPU fan = 1790 rpm (always max speed)
2x 120mm slim fans on the GPU intake side = 800rpm (again, always max speed)

1080ti = 75c @ 60% PWM roughly 2200rpm at gaming loads
 
LOL - if you apply this logic to your first dates (test run) you must make quite the impression. Fridge left-overs and a drink if she/he/none binary is lucky and then still holding out for fourth base near the end of the date :D
instantly eliminates the gold diggers :)

If i do start looking seriously at the FTZ10B for a living room PC - i may ask you to briefly experiment with a curve to see how it performs.
it's surprisingly quieter than my old rig. granted that having 4 gentle typhoons may have skewed the comparison somewhat...
