Below is the most recent build, using 14900k and 5090. The heat become a major issue to tackle, by using the rpm and flow rate of the fan and spec provided by alphacool/corsair (upon request). I manage to do a heat transfer simulation at planing stage to make sure the pc running quietly while next to me. The total temp difference using 2x280mm and 1 x 240mm and with static pressure at 0.9 mmh2o at roughly 30m^3/h airflow is about 35.3C at 76F. Meaning at half fan speed the pc sit around 50-56C while producing little noise. I am very pleased that the simulation worked as intended after running the PC.
Although I started with larger tower, I am super into small form factor PC building because it utilize out of the box thinking with unconventional parts. My first PC build started when I was 13, it was a intel 4th gen and gtx770.
Naturally, next comes with hard line water cooling instead of soft tube:
Later I got into Small form factor to challenge my self, things got harder as it takes a lot of planing, CAD modeling and parts shopping in order to fit large PC parts inside a 10-15L case and it continues to be my preferred way to building PC.
