That GPU release button is probably the best motherboard upgrade in a decade! When you have huge CPU air cooler, add just as large GPU and install some m.2 below GPU it's basically impossible to reach the PCIE release lever from any side. Except with a very long screwdriver between the CPU and GPU from the top, but also depends on the GPU backplate and then there is the risk of the screwdriver slipping and hitting your expensive MB. Finally someone from manufacturers has addressed that stupid thing.

Another amazing video from Optimum Tech. Didn’t even need to watch it but I did just because of the quality content that he is putting out there, the time and effort put into this, and how well he explains this for the newbies. Just a couple notes that weren’t thoroughly explained in this video for the newbies: 1. Make sure you have the I/O shield ready to go over your motherboards I/O when you are installing your motherboard. 2. M.2 drives do go in at an angle, they don’t just sit completely flat when you slot them, you have to angle it in and then push the opposite side of it down flush with the screw mount. 3. Also look into fan orientation. These fans point in specific directions for flow of air so you want to make sure you have them oriented correctly to optimize airflow in and out of your case.

Very nice build and an excellent video as always 👍 FYI, you can install an AIO such as the Corsair H115i Pro 280 in the front. I had the radiator placed on the outside of the front mounting bracket and the fans inside. With the MSI 3090 Suprim I had to unscrew the rad and mount it back after inserting the GPU. I don't recommend running anything above the RTX 3080; it gets toasty inside the case, since the GPU sits right up against the glass (glass got hot to the touch). All heat issues went away with the Lancool 2 Mesh.

I have this case with a Kraken x62 mounted in the front and a Red Devil 6900xt which is roughly 330mm long, most cards will fit with an AIO front mounted. Installing the card was... Playing Tetris while riding a rollercoaster but its doable. The Suprim X 3080ti is 336mm long and might actually be one of the few that wont fit with an AIO. This build looks amazing and honestly I will probably go the no RBG route next time I build, extremely tired of cable managing full RBG systems.

There are software options to control fan speeds off GPU (or other) temp readings from MoBo headers. I personally use Argus Monitor which works fantastic and I am very happy with.

Watched the whole video, even that I know this steps. It's just so satisfying :) Btw, about control fan speed based on the GPU temps, I actually have this feature in my motherboard by default, Aorus X570 Pro rev 1.2, and I'm pretty shure that b550 in the same lineup have this too. So, I guess nothing is stopping manufactures from adding this.

Hey Ali, loved the super quality content as always. I wanted to ask if you would consider doing a piece on an mATX case? For instance the upcoming dancase/lianli one. You always make such excellent videos on ITX/SFF stuff, and I think that mATX was ignored by many for a long time for being neither fish nor fowl: you either build a "full" (midtower) ATX system, or a super-compact ITX one. However I really think that mATX has been great the last few years: much easier to build in than (most) ITX cases, perceivably smaller than many midtowers, and much better motherboards than in the past; many great B550 boards were mATX (both great in terms of value, or flat out) for instance. If you disagree with any of the above that would also be a super interesting topic for a video (e.g. why choose ITX instead of mATX) Really hope you will consider it as I cannot think of a single KZfaqr I would rather have covering this topic!
