This is the second PC build that I have done, which is for a buddy of mine who wanted an M-ATX setup. The Lian Li was a solid choice being a decent size with good airflow due to the mesh panels all around (except for the front face). As for the fans setup, Intake is from the two fans at the bottom below the GPU and one on the side. Exhaust is at the two fans on the top of the case and one on the rear.
Here are the specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
MoBo: MSI B550M PRO-VDH AM4
GPU: ZOTAC RTX 3070 Ti Amp Extreme Holo
RAM: Kingston Fury 16GB (2*8GB) 3600MHz DDR4
Storage: Kingston KC3000 1TB Gen4
Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit PS120SE ARGB
PSU: Silverstone DA850 80+ Gold Fully Modular PSU
Intake/Exhaust Fans: Arctic P12 PWM PST
Additional Info:
Mounting the PSU on the side instead of the front gives you more flexibility with cable routing especially when you have a large GPU (longer than 285mm), and you’d want to have fully modular PSUs to make your life easier
Didn’t manage to do much testing but the GPU was maintaining a solid 70°C under load, with case fans running around 1000 RPM. CPU temperatures should not be an issue with the PA120SE being a bit overkill for the 5700X. That allows be to run a lower CPU fan speed which will definitely lower noise levels.
