new build - complete

Here is my new build, last time I did one of these was around 2008-2009. Nice, small and compact. Having said that, take a look at the temps, are these normal, specially for the mobo?

Temps are ok. i assume that's the stock cooler? No idea what's up w/ that motherboard temp.

 

out of curiosity, why didnt you go w/ an SSD? Also, why only 1 DIMM and not 2?

Stock cooler, yes. I already have an ssd from before. In regards to the ram, I have only 2 slots, so I'm saving when I upgrade to 16gb.

I think it's a nicer design than the Coolermaster equivalent in the flesh - very Shuttle-esque. Still prefer my 250D though.

 

If you're concerned about the temps you might want to consider either a closed loop system (would have to be Antec for it to fit correctly in your case) and ensuring your GFX card heat output is being efficiently dumped outside the case where possible. I regret not having the reference design Nvidia GTX cooler for this reason.

For your case I would imagine this will be a high static pressure rear exhaust fan and a CPU cooler that is exhausting in the same direction to keep the air moving in the same constant direction.
