Hi, I am thinking of putting together a sff build and wanted to check on possible compatibility issues with the experts here before ordering the hw.
Specs are:

Lian Li A4-H20,

ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WIFI,

AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d,

G skill flare X5 6000 cl30 2x16gb,

Corsair SF Series Platinum SF1000 1000W SFX, ATX 3.1,

Thermalright Frozen Edge 240,

ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5080 solid core/oc,

Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 4TB, M.2 2280

Specifically I am worried about the AIO tubes bumping into coolers or ram of the mobo, psu cable management, issues with the gpu and riser cable.

Thanks!

Specifically I am worried about the AIO tubes bumping into coolers or ram of the mobo, psu cable management, issues with the gpu and riser cable.

I've built with the Thermalright Frozen Edge before, and the only issue I ran into was that the AIO tubes, at least for my tastes, were compressed a bit too tight above the PSU. What I didnt try back then was to route one of them over to the GPU, so this issue might be fixed with just that.


Only thing I'd suggest is getting fan extension cords and plugging them in first into the MB before anything, because once the MB is mounted inside the case, reaching the fan connectors is going to turn into a hassle. Luckily, the AIO comes with a fan hub, so you only need to install that one first. I managed to hide it away in the top section, right behind the radiator, using magnetic tape, on the MB side.

Everything else looks fine - some of your components should even improve building in the A4-H2O, eg. the current-gen Corsair SF PSUs are slightly shorter because of the Gen 5 modular PSU connectors = more flexibility in cable routing.

For comparison, my build specs were:

- MB: Asrock B650E PG-ITX
- CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X (manual 105W Eco mode)
- RAM: 2x 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600 CL36
- CPU Cooler: Thermalright Frozen Edge 240 + 2x Arctic P12 Max + fan grills
- PSU: Corsair SF 750
- GPU: Inno3D RTX 4070 OC White Stealth
- SSD: SK Hynix P41 2 TB + be quiet m.2 MC1 Pro
