Ultimate Small Form Factor PC Build with Improved Cooling

TLDRWe redesigned our small form factor PC build with improved cooling by using multiple thinner radiators instead of one thick radiator. The new layout allows for better airflow and cooling performance.

Key insights

🔥By using multiple thinner radiators instead of one thick radiator, we were able to improve cooling performance and airflow in our small form factor PC build.

⚙️We mounted the power supply closer to its original position and repositioned the pump to optimize the cooling layout and make it more compact.

🌡️Thinner radiators provide more space for hot air to escape and make the fans work more efficiently, resulting in quieter operation and better cooling performance.

🖥️This PC build is not just for gaming but also for video editing, photo editing, and other intensive tasks, making the combination of Intel CPU and powerful GPU the best choice for the customer's needs.

🌬️The design of the case was carefully chosen to accommodate the customer's travel requirements, with a single-piece aluminum construction for durability and portability.

Q&A

Why did you choose multiple thinner radiators instead of a single thick radiator?

Thinner radiators provide more space for hot air to escape and make the fans work more efficiently, resulting in quieter operation and better cooling performance.

Why did you use an Intel CPU instead of an equivalent AMD CPU for gaming?

This PC build is not just for gaming but also for video editing, photo editing, and other intensive tasks, making the combination of Intel CPU and powerful GPU the best choice for the customer's needs.

Why did you choose this particular case?

The case was chosen based on the customer's requirements for a portable PC that can be easily transported. Its one-piece aluminum construction provides durability and strength, making it ideal for travel.

What are the advantages of using multiple radiators in terms of cooling performance?

Multiple radiators allow for better airflow and more surface area for heat dissipation, resulting in improved cooling performance compared to a single radiator. It also allows for more efficient fan operation and quieter PC operation.

Can this PC handle intensive tasks like video editing and photo editing?

Yes, this PC build is designed to handle not only gaming but also intensive tasks like video editing and photo editing. The combination of a high-performance Intel CPU and powerful GPU makes it suitable for demanding tasks.
