    AIO options for ITX portable build

    True. I could get by on a 120mm and single slim fan for the CPU. It would do fine. But, if I every need to upgrade the CPU I could have the 240mm ready an waiting. Yes overkill till that happens. Also, THANK YOU for the 'Link Database'. I will utilize that for sure!

    AIO options for ITX portable build

    Yes the TDP on the 7600X3D chip is 65w. This is GREAT for ITX thermals in a compact case.

    AMD Zen 4 ITX Semi-Budget Motherboard Ideas

    For the ASRock A620i Lighting Wi-Fi, do you not lose CPU overlock functionality? If the ARM setup is the same that's great. But, if I spend a little bit more for the B-model(s) I can unlock the CPU options. Correct me if I am wrong please. This is all good information in my decision paths by...

    I did demo the mentioned cases at Microcenter. Was quite astonished on SFF cases. They look smaller in person, compared to the pictures. I do wonder on thermals inside SFF's but with the correct AIO size and fans should be fine. The 7600X3D has a TDP of 65W! This is going to help the thermals...

    Wow! This is good information. Already got a Intel Arc B580 on backorder on B&H, picked up a 7600X3D from Micro Center 2 weekends ago, and got storage squared away. The handle is in the 'PRO' category for my portability requirements. I will research the S610 today. Thanks,

    Yes. I saw the Cooler Master n200p V2 was $300.00+ for the AIO and power supply. I like to part my builds out piece-by-piece and try to stray from combo purchases unless its a really good Micro Center combo; or what not. For now, going to still research. But the search is narrowing down. This...

    My AMD Ryzen 5950x is a beast of a CPU! I cruise with averages around 4700mhz. Extremely happy with going with AMD instead of INTEL for gaming / prod

    This is just a feel good rant, but I wanted to let everyone know the AMD Ryzen 5950x is one hell of a CPU! I was torn between the 5800x3d and the 5950x but I'm glad I chose the latter.

    Need assistants w/ Fractal Torrent RGB variant ( How to daisy chain the RGB fans correctly and where to plug in )

    I figured it out. The first 180mm fan needed to be hooked up to the RGB slot on the motherboard. Once I downloaded the RGB fusion software it was playing properly. ( MOBO = x570s Aorus Master ) Thanks for the reply though.

    Researching AMD processors for x570 chipset for gaming PC ( Ryzen 5800X3D vs. Ryzen 5950x )

    I did pick up the x570s Aorus Master chipset, which does allow for PBO. Not sure if I will OC right outta the box. Maybe start with the AIR cooling option and run some stress test. If I really want to push it, I'll look at AIO's.
