That's a bit of a change in size there, hows the temps.
Surprisingly good, CPU is maxing out at around 75c and the GPU has hit 80c. Obviously not as good as the Torrent case previously but it's expected with a SFF

@benjo I'm thinking of going smaller build, looks great bud
Thanks, it's definitely nice not having a giant tower on your desk. It took me a few days to finish though - the one thing I can recommend is fan grills to stop the cables snagging!
Xtia sent us their XSlim configurable and modular ITX case to play with. In it's compact mode 3.6L but can be expanded to 4.7L up to 5.8L for larger GPU's!
Specs here:
Intel 12700K
Asus Z690i Rog Strix motherboard
Kingston Fury Renegade 64gb DDR5 Memory
Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP Graphics Card
Enhance ENP 7660B Modular PSU
Xtia XSlim Mini ITX Case in 5.8L mode.

Rebuilt from a Corsair 2500X to a Lian Li A3, took a while, its like a jigsaw, you put 1 piece in, realize that part cant go in yet, so have to remove it and try try again, I probably spent an hour or so working out where I was going to put the PSU, how it had to be mounted to get everything in and where the pump res was going to go, cable management wasn't as bad as it sounds, if you take your time (as long as you're not using an ATX PSU) you can hide cables quite easily behind the PSU, I couldn't do custom water cooling with the PSU mounted in the cage at the side nor the front, because the PSU had to come down to allow for the 360 rad at the top, if using the cage I basically couldn't get the GPU in, I had to use the SSD bracket to mount the PSU and the pump res combo, got there in the end, quite happy with the results.

I have a rather ghetto Lian-Li A4-h20 which I picked up recently, I plan to get an XSPC slim tx240 rad and do a custom AIO...but for now, i'm going with the ghetto look, temps are really good, Phanteks T30's on the AIO and cpu sits around 45 degrees gaming (13600kf) and a 4070 Super.

Doesn't the A4-H2O natively support 240mm radiators? I've seen a few builds with T30s as well but with the silicone dampeners removed to make sure it fits.

Yeah it does, but it's a 37mm rad on the Asetek i've got
I know an EK basic + the t30s will fit, but for now i'm not that fussed as it is, but I will do it eventually whether that's an Alphacool LT custom AIO or an EK basic (or similar)

If you do go the custom route I'd be super keen to see how it ends up looking, there's been some lovely custom loops in the A4 H2O.

Sold my old case and bought the Phantek NV9 with the rgb kit,my old videocard cable was way too short so i came across the wireview,plus i get protection at the same time.
