I have to admit I was wondering about the motherboard choice with that CPU.

OK I admit it's been a while since I looked for one of these but I can remember searching all over like 3-4 years ago and couldn't find them anywhere, I might buy one just to have around. Too bad the mounting hardware hasn't been updated for AM4 and Intel 1200/1700.

Can I ask where the heck you found a Prolimatech Samuel 17? Great cooler but it has been EOL for years now.

The Zotac is actually available from Amazon for MSRP.

I tried this on my 4070 Ti and with DLSS Quality settings at 1440p I was getting 54 FPS, with Frame Generation I was getting 70 FPS. For contrast with High settings and full Ray Tracing I get 85 FPS, 128 FPS with Frame Generation.

That's even shorter than the 3070 and they reduced the height to something more reasonable, this should be a good fit for SFF.

I would love to know how well this compares to the normal desktop version of the 12700 since if even close this would be a great deal. I understand the 2 x HDMI and DP ports but the VGA is a bit odd.

I see that you have posted several questions about this case. The Pop Mini is a M-ATX case that is 36.5l which is well beyond what most people on this forum consider SFF, just don't be surprised if you don't get many responses.

I recently watched a couple videos about this ErYing m-atx board that has 11th gen mobile processors, at $200 it offered some decent performance and 12th gen will be even better.

Build looks great. Custom cables in SFF is smart not cheating.

I have to disagree on the BIOS flashback not required. Only the 7600x-7900x are supported by the first BIOS, the X3D and non X versions need a BIOS update.

The Gigabyte is 70mm thick and the NR200 only supports 60mm. Case only supports 156mm including the power cable, the Gigabyte is 150mm and you are going to need more than 6mm for the cable. If you want a 4090 get the MSI Ventus, it is 62mm but I have seen people put them in the NR200.

I wonder if you used this top if you would have clearance. I personally wouldn't want to passively cool the VRAM.

If you look at supported CPUs here there are only 4 that are supported on the original BIOS. If you plan on getting one of the X3D or the non X they won't work if the motherboard you get still has the 1.05 BIOS, the only way to flash to an updated BIOS is to use one of the supported CPUs. If...

You don't say which 7900XTX, if the reference wouldn't this EK block fit?
