Custom High-Performance ITX PC
For this project, I designed and built a compact yet powerful ITX PC tailored to handle intensive CAD workloads and high-end gaming without compromise. The goal was to achieve maximum performance in a small form factor while staying budget-conscious.
Key highlights:
- Processor & Graphics: Chose AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and Radeon RX 7900 GRE to strike the perfect balance of price and raw power for both CAD rendering and gaming.
- Memory: Installed 32GB of high-speed CL30 RAM to smoothly handle large projects and multitasking.
- Display Setup: Utilised an ultrawide primary monitor for expansive workspace and a secondary vertical display for added productivity during design and coding sessions.
- Thermal Management: The small ITX FormD T1 V2.5 case presented cooling challenges, so I designed and 3D printed custom ducting to optimize airflow and maintain safe temperatures under load.
- Outcome: The build delivers impressive performance and reliability, never hitting its limits so far. It combines sleek aesthetics with powerhouse specs, perfectly matching my needs as an audio enthusiast and CAD designer.
This project sharpened my skills in system design, hardware selection, and practical thermal solutions — all while reinforcing my passion for compact, high-end tech.
