High-End Cable-less PC Build! [BTF Form Factor]

In a first for us, we're building with the BTF form factor, something most notable for it's lack of visible cables. The cables aren't just gone though, they are hidden on the back of the motherboard, this can create a very clean looking PC, especially when combined with a BTF GPU like the one we have. This form factor isn't without it's challenges though so join us to see how we got on and how the final PC performs

This is really good man, really hope that thing like this is future of AM6 and all the mobo's just come like this even intel LGA baords we dont need the cluster in front we can put off of it in the back

Surprise to see you not getting that much recognition your videos are really high quality

[doodieman]

im stunned by the video quality its so

[rmorenberg]

corsair did fix that as an issue before going back to cables coming from the block

[bhyuvtf]

Why does it have even more cables behind the motherboard?

[RoachMartel]

All that power wasted on an Intel Chip.

There are that big FAT cables that you call a pump.
Aircooler is much better option for truly clean build.
IF it has to be AIO, then Lian Li Hydro Shift shall provide closest to cabless experience since they gave great refreshing care to cable routing.

Aircooler may or may not be sufficient for 14900K.
Some aircoolers passed the test with 13700K just fine.
And if 14900K Wattage is limited according to Intel's specs to 253W instead of allowing it going to 400 or something, some models might do well enough for gaming needs(no game uses more than 8 performance cores properly, does it?)where all core workload isn't required so some cores can be disabled I think and if undervolted temps drop while performance for some reason remain or improve performance even the aircooler might prove sufficient for 14900K.
Like Thermalright Phantom Spirit&Frost Commander or Noctua D15 G1&G2.
For profesional video editing and 3D animation or what not that require all cores, current aircoolers are probably out of the question though.

buy a x670 strix e-f board, that one is a never ending experience with the BIOS.
took them 2 years to make it possible for the PC to be able to sleep. to make that happen they broke the EXPO now just currently, they also broke the memory training multiple times too.

For a "High-End" build to not have matching fans, what a let down. ALSO, SO MUCH FANBOYING OVER ASUS ROG. Cringe on so many levels.
