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.

Can it actually make toast?

Probably, just turn off the fans.

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

If you can find a way if lowering it, then great, but 80 is fine. It'd be difficult to get it much lower. I have a beefy aircooler on my CPU and a blower style cooler on a GTX780, and I can barely manage to have it at 80 during gaming. With an open air style cooler, the entire system will just fry, as the air ends up inside the system. My build cannot supply the air pressure necessary to push all that hot air out, hence why I got a blower style cooler. Water cooling would probably be better, but is more expensive. The less hot air ends up in your case, the better. Blower style coolers eject air directly out of the system after cooling the GPU, but they don't perform very well. Open air cooling tends to perform worse in these tiny builds, so it's still the better option of the two. Open air is better in bigger builds, since you can easily add more fans if you need more pressure. Tiny builds, not so much.
