Old PC Upgrade

[sladesurfer13]

Upgrading my old intel to ryzen.. parts inside the case right now. 140mm Front Fan with 2x M.2 NVME 2TB, 32gb DDR4 Ram, Intel i5 CPU, GTX 970, Silverstone Strider PSU 750W (made my own custom cables) . Only thing im swapping will be the Cpu and Motherboard. Dont use 2.5 SATA Drives anymore. Strictly M.2 NVME for Fast and Cleaner setup. A lot of Motherboards now have multiple NVME Slots

That looks like a space heater from Lowe's

lol, I like it super compact. Have this case for 7 years now. I use to have it water cooled 140mm Radiator,pump reservoir combo mounted on the radiator

Gpu gets plenty of air from the front. Never have a problem system overheating

Is that ryzen cooler going to fit? The power supply is right over the top of the cpu, or maybe its just the angle of the picture.. custom power wires seemed to work out pretty well

except that its blowing at the back of the card. with some proper air flow it would be cooler.

No, i ordered a low profile cooler. If i dont like it i might go back to watercooling

no issues yet, Plenty of ventilation on the top and at the back but yea, no overheating cpu or GPu for 7 years
