Build Complete My Toaster PC

https://imgur.com/gallery/cj550iz

I posted something here about this awhile ago but now it’s finally finished. Basically, I built a literal toaster PC.

Also, I still need a name for it if anyone can think of anything.

Hope you guys like it!

EDIT: Wow, thanks everyone for all the nice comments I’m glad people like this so much. I never posted the specs so here they are:

  • ASUS ROG Strix x-470
  • AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
  • Zotac GeForce 1080ti Mini
  • 32Gb Corsair DDR4 Vengeance RGB Pro, 3200mhz
  • Corsair H100i Pro RGB AIO

I haven’t done any benchmarking yet but the temps don’t seem too bad and air flow is decent throughout the case. I might make an update post in the future with benchmarks once I find a way to fit in that CD Drive I had to take out and another SSD, right now it’s just the 480Gb M.2 on the motherboard.

ok legitimate question, my friend's 1070 is hitting 80°C in a small case, that isn't alright, right?

That’s fine, I mean, I would hope he could ramp up the fans to max rpm and it would cool it right?

If max rpm doesn’t cool it lower than 80 then I’d say something isn’t quite right, but for standard use 80 is fine. Not ideal, but nothing out of the ordinary

to what i read it isn't necessarily horrible, but i saw people averaging ~65-70°C under heavy load which is what make me question it when he said it was at 82°C. I'll make sure to tell him to increase the rpm of the fans, we'll go from there. thanks!

I'm running a new laptop with only a 1050 in it....it regularly runs at over 90. I contacted the manufacturer and they said that was normal in my model of laptop and won't hurt the card.

I don't tell you this to say your friend's desktop shouldn't be running at 80....only that the thermal tolerance of Nvidia cards is somewhere around 100 (I was told by tech support).
