I was live building in a 3h Stream with an AERO ITX, Custom_MOD 4.7L and RYZEN 3600 @4.4GHz all-core with some noise & temperature testing and some gaming (Cyberpunk 1080p & 1440p):


Hopefully its useful for some of you! :)
Thanks for the video friend! We do not have such video cards in Ukraine, so we cannot shoot such a video.

I've tested another cooler for the Custom_MOD FX 4.5L that supports up to 43mm Coolers:


For anybody who is trying to decide between a Noctua NH-L9 or ID Cooling IS-40X

For the first time I looked at a video card from Palit in action. I liked her. Well built, absolutely quiet when idle, and not very noisy in games. Upset by the lack of protection on the back of the card. Who loves the RGB backlight there is such a thing.

So I put together the assembly and played some games. The temperature of the video card ranged from 70 to 74 degrees Celsius at room 22. The temperature did not change much when I removed the covers from the case, by about 2-3 degrees.

Finally I've got my Review and comparison between the Noctua NH-L9a AM4 vs. Thermalright AXP90-X36 online! ;)
You will be surprised guys! Later I will upload the Benchmarking results as picture to the forum, but feel free to check out my video!


Maybe some of you might find those coolers useful for the Custom_Mod Cases. :)

idle noise and while gaming (Cyberpunk 1440p ULTRA Settings with an RYZEN 5600X & RX 6700 XT)

I really don't know how the situation is right now, but I wish @sergiiua all the best for his company, his life and the life and future of his country. I did one last Video in the Custom_Mod FX 4.5L I had in my shelf which now has a new happy owner. Its a beautiful system which really shows the DIY 2022 SFF spirit in all its facets and beauty. :) Hope you like the build! <3

So, a new revision of the FX 4.7L case
In preparing this revision, I had two goals, to make the model easier to manufacture and to remove the screws from sight.

According to the specification, it is the same as the old one, except that it is lighter. This model is completely aluminum, except for the internal baffle.

This summer was very hot in southern Ukraine. I had to test the computer in extreme conditions. My office lacks air conditioning, so the room temperature was as high as 30°C. I had to set the GPU power limit to 70%. Also, the CPU voltage has been capped at 1.1v. The resulting temperatures of the GPU and the CPU were kept around 70-75°C, which I found to be acceptable for gaming. Removal of the side covers also led to a slight decrease in temperature and noise.

Hello @sergiiua
I see that in the 3.8L version the panels latch onto the case rather than being screwed in like in the 4.5L version. Would it be possible for you to make a 3.8L case but with the design of the 4.5L one, with the screws rather than the little latches? Personally I just think it looks better and prefer the cleaner look but not sure if that's possible!
