Nice choice with the Ryzen 9 9900X and the GIGABYTE X870 AORUS STEALTH — solid combo for a high-performance HTPC. The case looks sleek too.
The Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 is a solid choice for speed, but you may want to check if the Jonsbo TK-2 has enough clearance for taller RAM heat spreaders.
@daan10 Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll double-check the RAM height against the Jonsbo TK-2 clearance specs before ordering.
@sanne_builds Considering this is an HTPC, have you thought about how the noise levels of the Seagate IronWolf Pro and the case fans might affect your viewing experience?
@kevinnl Good point about noise — the Seagate IronWolf Pro can be a bit loud in a small HTPC case, so you might want to look into a quieter fan setup or additional damping material.
That Seagate IronWolf Pro is a solid drive, but you might want to keep an ear out for its noise levels in a compact HTPC setup.
@budgetbeast Since this is a planned HTPC, have you considered how the 6TB capacity might impact noise versus a smaller, potentially quieter drive for a media setup?
