PSA if anyone wants to attempt this, make sure you are getting a good deal. Prices on ebay currently: DELL 7060 SFF $85 i7 8700 $95 2666 32gb $50 Amazon RTX 3050 $180 RTX 4060 $300 Although I'll be honest I think trying for a 12th gen or newer (a different model...

Or it's better because it can run dual fans at 100mm Z height

Looks like you could fit a 25mm fan in there with a low profile mounting nut*. Assuming it clears the rest of your motherboard. Very nice. *Actually, maybe a 25mm fan could fit as-is

Try 2.5L 😆. PIO JW H610 motherboard from Taobao less than 100 shipped, including superbuy battery removal service. I'm expecting my second one any day. Used Alienware GaN PSU. (Yes room for it inside if desired.)

I didn't run it long, that may change soon as I build either a dual 12-core (E5 2696/7) or a 12700KF system. I recall it being very quiet, as in barely audible. But that's probably dependant on load/heat to some extent. Although I imagine you'd be hard pressed to have a hotter environment than...

It's a beast of a PSU. The only thing you absolutely need to do is solder 5v leads if you are running SATA drives or a regular ATX board (or get a DC/DC "PicoPSU").

He is right. Not trying to dissuade you by any means. But a riser to put the video card where your PSU is and a Jiusharks JF13K CPU cooler would probably work fine (it can definitely cool a 7600x at 163w, it did my 12600k at 183w).

Why not just use a PWM adapter to control the stock fans with the motherboard? https://www.amazon.com/Cerrxian-Speed-Supports-Ethernet-Laptops/dp/B07S4L41TN Edit: I see you are doing custom fans. 2x80mm should work fine if they hold pressure and you can make a shroud so all the air goes...

Obviously the ideal would be a 180° on the female end only, then the other end could fold anywhere and make any offset needed.

Something shiny came: a "0.05CM" riser https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802545196290.html Since its a double 180° I measured the true card offset at 30mm. The next option is "0.1CM", so I would presume that gets you an 80mm offset? My thinking works like this. If I need a bigger...

I had the shroud and fans off, without removing the heatsink. Probably broke the wire myself

Thanks for checking back. I did use MSI Afterburner and it didn't change anything. I think I have a hardware fault on the PWM wire, its probably just broken or loose. I learned about the idle measurement on here, so I'm not really worried about it.
