What do you think? Do you see any bottlenecks or budget balancing issues? I need it for CAD/CAM, 3D modelling, gaming (Cyberpunk, Witcher3 with raytracing, BG3)
The site says the cooler is not compatible, but according to noctua it is, if I mount the radiator underneath the cooling block.
Is the mainboard ok? I don’t see the benefits of the more expensive ones. All they have is PCI 5.0, which the GPU doesn’t utilise, and the riser card for the Terra is also only PCI 4.0
The terra has a shiftable midplane, so you might have to calculate the minimum setting you would need on both sides (CPU cooler side ande the GPU side) and be sure that it will fit. If Noctua said it will fit, you can be sure that it will, but they don’t know how thic your GPU is gonna be.
Looks great otherwise, the terra is beautiful. Be mindful, if this your first SmallFormFactor build, the performance might be a bit less then if built in a roomy ATX mid tower instead. I was kind of surprised by that on my first SFF(Factual Node 202), thats why I mention it.
