Psu over Cpu area

[CancerousSushi]

Hello there   Hi guys,

So,i decided to build a small cube pc since move it around alot.

After some searching I found a really nice cube case that is able to fit a Micro Atx mobo called Cooltek C2,

however, you have to put the PSU straight over the CPU socket, and i don't think you can flip it over.

Will this be a big issue or am I just overthinking it?

 

 

Here is a picture of how it looks like:

It's fine.

I have this case as a small workstation pc. (rebranded as a sharkoon case however). It completly depends on the cpu. Airflow is minimal in the case and you need a good cpu cooler that fits.

 

What are you putting in this case?

I am putting a ryzen 3 1200 with a stock cooler (since there is enough clearence) and a gtx 1060 from gigabyte.

The ryzen is fine. However the 1060 will be too much for that case. I had trouble keeping a gtx 650 cooled in there and had to mod a fan in it.

I recommend you get something with direct ventilation at the gpu.

Well i dont have alot of choices since almost every other small form factor case requires a mini itx,

and since i am on a budget i can't really afford it because they are double the price of a realtivly cheap micro atx.

On another note,would modding tha case a bit to fit 2 fans at the bottom or a slim fan at the top make the situation any better?

I would just look for another case. It's really not meant to have higher end specs in it.
