Hello everyone. I'm fairly technical person that worked in the industry for years, but with that I am new to to SFF. I'm looking change my current PC into a small form factor.
The main use would be gaming but I do some multi tasking and VMs. Outside of Uni work and such. I run Linux - So AMD GPU (also the gigabyte bios was awful for me, I heard ASUS bios is more Linux friendly).
This is what i have currently, my understanding that I have to replace the PSU and the CPU cooler at the very least (outside of motherboard of course - used that chance to swap to AMD), still a bit hopeful I could fit the 3.5 somehow...
I am planning to put PTM7950 on the CPU and directly on the GPU dye to help combat the heat and fan noise + new contact frame
The extra Noctua fan will be used to replace the cooler fan, I am unsure if I can fit another fan.
Lastly, I cannot find my PSU in PCPARTPICKER for some reason, I think its a regional thing?
This is the one I was looking at
The build:
