I was mildly disappointed with Vavles pricing, so I told my nephew i'd make him a Bazzite system. He plays simple games.

Specs: Ryzen 4650G 450W PSU B550 Asrock ITX board 16GB DDR4 @3600MT/s 1TB PCI-e 3.0 Nvme Coolermaster 240 AIO (somehow crammed in) Silverstone SG-13 case

Edit

This was about 4 years ago. This is the system I sharpened my teeth on. Had to modify the 3080 to fit with a fan mod.

    Tell me more about the GPU. Did you just remove the shroud and put some fans on the heatsink?

    Does that not reduce cooling performance quite a bit?

    Those fans actually dropped the temperature a bit, even in a traditional case. They are noctua's thin fans.

    I don't have this 3080 any longer, went to a 9070XT.

    Interesting, I would have thought the cooling shroud makes more of a difference.

    How did you mount them on the heatsink? Might do this to some older GPUs to make them fit in smaller cases.
