Have to be extra careful not to scratch the mb when inserting the GPU. It will be a bitch to take it out later.

all the budget goes to the gpu

Wahhh no space for airflow

Wtf

topup sikit get 4090

wtf got moved to hardware pulak

yeah casing barely fits that card. but core i5? and cable management will be like hell also

It's an i9.
Cabling OK lar.

The customer will definitely buy at least 280 AIO later. i9 with stock cooler will definitely throttle and also cheapo motherboard with insufficient vrm will also overheat

i9 stock cooler......

All the money goes to CPU, GPU & mobo but left with a poor case. Adoi!
If all those RGB cost goes into topup a better case it doesnt cost a lot, either Nexus Air or Montech Air 1000 will fit this GPU better.

PS that nonK i9 will technically function if nothing change in bios settings, coz after PL2 it will downclock to 65W. For reference stock RM1 cooler can handle up to 128W so I expect the bigger RH1 cooler can soak in slightly higher wattage. But yeah it will serious cripple that i9 performance, might as well go with i7.

There is a reason why I go big casings. Cooling requirements of hardware these days are increasing.

Please get anti-sag for GPU. The weight of the card needs extra support.

How are the thermals? Any temps or benchmarks?

Eyesore. Invest another bigger casing.
