After getting some great help on discord (shoutout to ExplodingWaffle101 and TonyStoneDew) I landed on that there was probably nothing wrong on the build. Tried most of the standard troubleshooting. Tried changing the PSU the day after, and that did not work. And finally found out that the...

Edit: Solved (see post below) So I posted a build a week or so ago and got amazing help in finalizing the build, but I am now running into some issues which I believe are PSU-related. If this is not the kind of questions for this forum, I apologize and will remove the post. I just got...

Crap I think you may be right. The CPU cooler is not actually supported by that board according to official specs. Might need to swap one of those parts out then. In terms of x570 MOBOs, I have been looking at: Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI - €260 Does not list anything about cooler support...

Hi, apologies for the long post. Feedback is greatly appreciated though! I've been spending a couple of days to put together a new small form factor build and would love some input as it's been a while since I built my last case. Main purpose: Something relatively portable as I move it around...
