Swap from atx to matx
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:48 am
Hello.
I am Pawel (pronounce like pavew ) from poland.
Recently i bought some new goods to upgrade my old pentiumD 820 to something more... Modern.
Here is what i have:
i5 3570K
GB-z77 d3h mobo
2x 8gb Kingstone ddr (with heatsinks, but low profile)
Asus gf gtx560 dc2 (takes 2 slots)
Crucial m4 128gb ssd
1tb older seagate ssd, 7200rpm
Old, but working flawlessly psu corsair 430w bronze 80+ with non standard fan
few scythe 120 fans, few zephyr fans etc.
all in old Sunbeam Quarterback case, 2 fans in it
Everything spins at low revs
I am thinling to switch to smaller, more compact design:
Fractal Design mini
Mobo gb-z77m d3h
Rest stays as above.
will i be able to have quiet system (gpu noise is ok for me in stress, any way hdd is louder) and capable to get 4.6Ghz from cpu in matx? Which cpu aftermarket cooler will fit in fd mini case? I had ninja @ pentiumD and it worked superb, passive in idle and 600revs in stress was more than enoigh. But obviously ninja wont fit in moni case?
Thanks in advance.
