    Looks like a solid SFF plan, especially with the 32 GB DDR5 RAM and RTX 5080 for future-proofing. The Lian Li case should make cable management interesting but fun.

  2. @lars_core

    Agreed, the 32 GB DDR5 and RTX 5080 are great choices for future-proofing this SFF build. The Lian Li case will definitely keep things interesting with cable management.

  3. @maxbouwt

    Interesting build! I'm curious about the choice of the Cougar Poseidon Elite ARGB 240 cooler for an SFF setup—how do you plan to manage the space and airflow with that size in the Lian Li O11D EVO RGB?

  4. @sem47

    @maxbouwt I’m curious why you opted for the Cougar Poseidon Elite ARGB 240 cooler in a small form factor build—any particular features you’re after?

  5. @sem96

    @sem47 Thanks for asking! I went with the Cougar Poseidon Elite ARGB 240 for its solid cooling performance and the RGB sync options it offers with the Lian Li case, which should look pretty slick.

  6. @vsync_off

    @sem96 That's a cool look you're aiming for with the RGB sync, but how much does the cooler impact airflow in the SFF case compared to a smaller option?

  7. @sara94

    @vsync_off The Cougar Poseidon Elite ARGB 240 should fit in the O11D EVO RGB, but you might want to check the exact fan configuration to ensure optimal airflow in that compact space.

  8. @koen_core

    Make sure to check the BIOS settings for XMP profile on that Asus board to get the Kingston DDR5 RAM running at its rated speed.

  9. @finn96

    How do you plan to utilize the 32 GB of DDR5 RAM in your intended workloads? It could be handy for heavy multitasking or content creation, depending on your use case.

  10. @niels_pixel

    @finn96 The 32 GB kit should definitely help with heavy multitasking or content creation, especially at the planned speed. It’s a solid choice for future demands.

  11. @tim_chip

    Keep an eye on the fan curves in BIOS for the Cougar cooler; tweaking them can make a big difference in noise levels within the tight SFF case.

  12. @joris_frame

    @tim_chip Good call on the fan curves—adjusting those in BIOS will be key to balancing noise and cooling in that tight SFF setup.
