I did a quick test with 100% stock fans/clocks It's near silent, with the fan never going above 57% and I haven't seen any higher than 83C in other tests I may keep it this way--the current setup has fresh air coming in through two intake fans which then carry warm radiator air directly onto the gpu. Not sure how much I can push the card while keeping it this quiet at ~80C

This build log comes with a COOL SPEC SHEET to compensate for my MICROP- Lately, I've been spending a butt ton of time in Revit and Rhino. Renderings in Rhino are actually pretty fast, but everything else seems really sluggish on my 3570K (though if I was only gaming, I bet my 3570K would last like 5 more years). I'd been saving money each month since before the 5820K was even released (I originally wanted a 3960x), so when I saw how this year's extreme editions ended up, I was like "aight the waiting game ain't worth it." I've always wanted to build small. My first case was a huuge NZXT Phantom, then I moved into an Air 540, and now I've got a BitFenix Phenom M--maybe my next build will be in the itx version Anyway--here we go! imgur gallery link Parts List: Case - BitFenix Phenom M PSU - Corsair AX760 CPU - i7 5820K Motherboard - Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 RAM - 2x G.Skill 8GB 2400 GPU - 1x Asus GTX 1070 Turbo I was told not to trust refurb stuff but whatever right + cool deals at Microcenter This feels so spacious :ooo CPU and Motherboard pics Ooo Chilly Dogs Cable management in this case feels really easy--just shove everything into a cube in the corner above the psu Hopefully you can even tell what's goin on here Spent a LITTLE WHILE trying to figure out why the system wouldn't post Motherboard kept spitting out code b0 and 53. Was a RAM issue so I quickly bought 1 stick off Gigabyte's qualified vendor list for $16. Updated BIOS, got my *** recognized, and finally booted with my original RAM. Advanced airflow design for smaller cases Some finishing pics! I'm really happy with this build--it felt more roomy and organized than in my Air 540 somehow?? It kinda feels good to ditch my custom watercooling stuff, but a lot of actual blood and sweat went into my previous build and I'll miss it! (don't mind the ssd just chillin out there) (thanks for checkin it out!) (also I know the Phenom M doesn't have a window but damn I like the colors) imgur gallery link

I don't remember the internet getting mad when Mafia II came out with PhysX stuff so idk what's different here
