This is a super cool build.
This seems perfect for a Possible Steamdeck egpu setup. It can be cut to 2230 and the 90° angle should make plugging it in easier.
It seems that Thunderbolt actually works
But If you don't want to change your ports or are in need for a battery powered build, I would go with an Intel nuc as the basis.
They are a bit cheaper and have are easier to sell on the secondary market.
Soo, the new vga cooler arrived yesterday and its (unsuprisingly Big. Overall a great deal for 25 bucks.
Its has more surface area with actual fins and 6 heatpipes instead of one. And yes I uesd some wire to hold the vrm cooler in place.
Sadly, the heatpipes in the normal orientation were...
Soo
there were some delays and stuff. Long story short instead of the silentmaxx Big block I got a Scythe Orochi, which is a bit smaller 120*139*194mm (W*H*D), but still is pretty damn big.
The Vga Cooler is now an Ekl peter whichshould arrive later this day.
So look at the size of this lad...
I think getting it reanodized yourself probably isn't cheaper than the 100€ premium. So if you don't want a specific color which isn't available I wouldn't do it.
Sadly the heatpipes are on both sides and take up 4mm which makes them roughly 13mm wide.
So for now at least I'll just stick with the stock heatspreaders and maybe get something like this later on.
There are also slimmer versins of the Thermalright coolers which might fit.
Yesterday the Board arrived, so I could assemble my new pc.
Everything worked as expected and the PC booted without a hiccup. The h470 actually ran the ram at 2666 out of the box even though its just 2133 ram.
With the stock cooler the 10500 hit 78C under cinebench R20 without undervolting...
+1 on the G305 its relatively compact, runs on a AA and you can store the dongle in the mouse so it doesn't get lost.
For the keyboard I would take a look at some slim options like the Keychron K3 or the Coolermaster Sk222series.
Regarding 60% Keyboards, they have have a bit of a learning curve...
Just the bench with an itx board is 230*190*105mm (w*d*h) so roughly 4,5l without considering heatsinks, gpu and ram.
Then again the silentmax ist rather big 210* 135*160mm (w*d*h) soooo roughly 4,5l. Sadly the seller of the cpu cooler has yet to send out the cooler...
I guess the total volume...
The "case" arrived today.
I really like the concept and the build quality did not disappoint. The motherboard pins are nice, since you just push your board on it and they give you enough space to route my cables underneath.
Speaking of cables, I might actually get some shorter cables made or...
