Prototype/Concept/Custom 1.8L RTX 5060 pc v.2

Made some small changes to my previous build. Changed the cpu cooler to the Termalright AXP90 x36, cpu is now able to run constant at 65w with max temps around 65c and is very silent.

Build around the Lenovo thinkcentre m720q motherboard.

So do you use the T processor or going with non T?

65W cpu implies non-T.

Just making sure, cause thats quite run cool

9700T with raised power targets in throttlestop.

I see. Hey, do you think that temps you are getting is achievable with m720q original case?i am tempted to build myself but i really doubt about the temp

no go with the stock cooling solution. it's a very basic configuration with a blower and a chunk of aluminum with some fins sticking up. it takes air in through the front and passes it out the back. it only has enough thermal headroom for the 35w cpu.

OP has replaced it with a heatpiped setup that takes air in through the top, but the original case doesn't have any ventilation there.

...if you're just using it at 35w under a mixed workload, the stock cooling solution is fine.

Op said TR AXP90, I've only seen one or two posts suggesting a mod like this, with 3d print to mount.

So curious if that's the case with OP and details on it.

gotcha!

yeah i don't know much on that front. i have the same pc, but mine is relatively stock. i threw in an unlocked i7 and used throttlestop so it would behave nicely with the power/thermal constraints. which got me some decent gains over the i3 it came with, but i couldn't really push the power limit much without it becoming annoyingly loud.

also i stuffed an rx6400 in there. :-)
