Hello,
i'm about to build my first itx for my work as a software engineer. Usage will be for programming IDEs, virtual machines, database tools, etc. I dont' plan to game on this machine and i'll not overclock it.
This is the best config i could make right now, given the actual components availability:
CASE: raijintek ophion 7l
this is the smallest case i found available capable of having additional fans mounted, and that fits into my transport-bag
CASE FANS: 2x Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.Black.Swap,4-Pin (92x14 mm)
I plan to put two of these fans on top of the case
APU: Intel I7 11700
MAINBOARD: ASUS ROG STRIX B560-I GAMING WIFI
CPU-COOLER: Noctua NH-L9x65
my first choice was the Noctua NH-L12S but it won't fit in the motherboard (as stated in the noctua site). The NH-L9x65 is the best i found to fit in the 7cm of the case.
Is there a better cooler that will fit both in the 7cm of the case and in the mainboard ? I've heard of the Alpenföhn black ridge but as the size is similar to the L12S i doubt that it would fit in the mainboard.
RAM: HyperX FURY Black HX432C16FB4K2/32 32GB Kit (2x16GB), 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM
POWER-SUPPLY: SilverStone SST-ST30SF v 2.0 - SFX Series, 300W 80 Plus Bronze PC Power Supply, Low Noise 92mm
HD: Samsung 980 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2
Please let me know if there is something wrong or that can be improved. Thanks
