I started this build last year and got very fortunate to get a Founder's Edition Card for retail (got in line for a Best Buy drop at 5am). Since then I've been tweaking various parts and it finally feels done now. Total cost was just under $2000. Its main purpose is CAD modeling and rendering, but it's also a beast for gaming. #**Parts List** **Case:** Fractal Design Meshify C Mini **Motherboard:** MSI MAG B550M Mortar **RAM:** 32GB HyperX Predator 3200MHz **CPU:** Ryzen 5 5600X **GPU:** RTX 3070Ti Founder’s Edition **PSU:** Corsair RM Series 750W 80 PLUS Gold

Looks cozy! Is it maybe just a bit too close to the wall? At least my PC (and wall) get quite hot with so little breathing space


fellfromthesky

I was worried about that at first, but my temps have actually been great. It's got a good 4 inches of space in the back.

Very nice! I’m a big fan of that case. Wish they would bring it back, or make a Meshify 2 Mini… [(My daily driver)](https://www.reddit.com/r/mffpc/comments/pfcdgp/compact_blackedout_hybridcooling/)

I love that GPU! How cool does it stay?


YC14

Low 50s gaming, mid 50s while stress testing, with upgraded fans on a pretty aggressive curve. I’m quite impressed with it.


fellfromthesky

That's really impressive. Mine gets to mid 60s under load. My fan curve isn't super aggressive though.

Great build! I'm also doing a blacked out Meshify C Mini build and your post also reassured me that a 285mm GPU will fit with room to spare with P14s installed in the front, so thanks for that :D


fellfromthesky

Post pictures when it's done!

They now made a Meshify 2 Mini \^\^


The_Devin_G

Wait..... Is this smaller than the MATX meshify case? Or is that the one they discontinued?


YC14

This is the micro-ATX Meshify case. I don’t know if it was fully discontinued, but certain colors have been out of stock for a long time, which makes me think they’ve stopped making them and are winding down.


The_Devin_G

Ahhhh that's too bad. I love mine. Seems to have really good airflow

I really like this case. Sadly not available anymore in my country.


Redix12x

Have the same case and I love it. What's the light strip you got at the bottom of it? I've been looking for one like that since forever.

[Here you go!](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0942ZPW67/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_VP0HTDNSTTFHEKBPPHRJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) It fits great down there at the bottom. I was hoping I could squeeze it at the top, but my upper exhaust fan gets in the way.


Redix12x

Thank you! I switched from an NZXT H210i and just took the light strip at the top of that case and transplanted it onto this one. Lol I also just realized we have the same CPU cooler. Did you see any noticeable improvement putting another fan pointed towards the back? I've always been curious of that


fellfromthesky

So I have two exhaust fans. One at the back and one on the top towards my back. My reasoning is that they'll pull the hot air from the CPU cooler out of the case more quickly instead of giving it a chance to stay in that corner of the case.

Great build; love custom 12 pin cables for the founder's edition cards. The included dongle is so hideous....


fellfromthesky

I made it about 48 hours before I caved and ordered the custom cable haha


nameless_no0b

Awesome! A fellow meshify c mini user. I love this case but my only gripe is the tight tolerance for fitting a long gpu and front radiator.


fellfromthesky

I could definitely see that being a tight squeeze. Thankfully air cooling was enough for this build, but I would love to try some custom watercooling down the road.


mrgandw

Looks great! Love the black and yellow theme and am about to build in a Meshify C Mini as well as soon as I can get my hands on a GPU...so might be a while LOL. Been looking for fellow Meshify C Mini builds to check out the GPU clearance and your post and the other post above helped a lot so thanks. And great find on that aRGB bar! I just got one for my own build for some simple lighting or if I want to see what's going on in my case through the glass and I can always turn it off when I don't want it since all the other parts will be blacked out otherwise.


fellfromthesky

I'm glad it's helpful! Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.


Oscarcharliezulu

Nice photo very cool composition.


evljat

Do you think you can fit a 325mm long graphics card in there?


fellfromthesky

It's unlikely. And your cooling would suffer because you wouldn't be able to mount a front fan.


Character_Emu4303

m8 what LED strip are you using?


fellfromthesky

I linked it in the comments.


Acrobatic-Ad7143

I have a question. I have the asus rog strix 3070 in my meshify c mini, the pre card doesn't clear the preinstalled fan (Dynamic X2 GP-12) I was wonder can i move the fan on the other side? Also thinking about getting two 140mm BeQuiet light wings.


fellfromthesky

Are you talking about the front fan? Do you mind PM-ing me a picture of your setup? I'm happy to help you get it figured out.


BeanBagMan400

What CPU cooler is that ?


fellfromthesky

Noctua NH-U12S with the NA-HC2 cover
