Yeah, I might just wait and see what the refresh brings.

sigh, thanks. That will teach me to check specs more carefully. 4x8 isn't a huge hit to the GPU, but it's not nothing, especially with a 4090.

I am intending to build a 13th gen system shortly, struggling to make a final mobo choice. I do know I want z790, with a gen 5 m2 slot. Will be either 13700k or 13900k, fastest 64gb ram kit I can find and a 4090. This is the shortlist so far My basket at OcUK: 1 x Asus ROG Strix Z790-E...

Thanks, definitely doable, though a little tighter than I would have liked.

Yes, hence the crazy part, and the request for dimensions, if it isn't long enough to work with i won't bother. The intent would be to use it as a "skin" over a structural frame.

Would any lucky buyers of the 4090fe be willing to measure their box and post the dimensions here please? I want to do a crazy project, building a case inside the outer shell of the box.

Weird question, speaking of the box, what are it's dimensions? I have this crazy idea to make a case the same size and skin it with the outer part of the box.

To anyone who got the 4090 fe, could you measure the box it came in. I have this crazy idea to build a whole PC inside the box, or if it is not sturdy enough, in a case of my own making that is the same size.

I did something similar, pretty much the same parts and costs. Looks good and i have found it pretty useful.

Tip for the lumbar support noise. I have found that if I dial it back to zero when not in use it then it makes much less noise, sometimes none. I realise this is a workaround and not ideal, but if it stops the noise driving you crazy that is something at least.

This looks pretty good https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-a5-x1-nvidia-rtx-3070-16gb-15.6-fhd-240hz-amd-r9-5900hx-gaming-laptop-lt-0dv-gi.html

What are your criteria for the case? I originally went for a Silverstone Sugo S14 because it perfectly fit the space I had. Then i had to move my setup and made my own case, specifically tailored to minimise the footprint.

That's how I feel about it too.

One note, you have non K cpu there, so you wouldn't need a z690, a b660 would be just fine.

I wanted to get corsair's own, but it was out of stock at the time, so I got one from modDIY for $22.99, it's been fine for the last 6 months.

Cyberpunk 2077, still some issues 8/10

Not sure that would be viable, with all current cases made to fit existing standards.

I literally made my own, using aluminium extrusion beams called Makerbeam for the frame, with abs and acrylic panels I cut to size myself. Thread here https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/rehousing-my-build-into-homemade-case-made-of-makerbeam.18940201/

All cases come with compromises. Pick a case with compromises you can live with. Or do what I did, make your own and decide on your own compromises.
