Build Description
My Corsair One i140 was a champ, but was starting to show its age on the latest titles (bought in 2018), and I wanted something that was still a small-ish form factor to replace it with. I've heard the newer generation Corsair Ones have thermal throttling issues, so I decided to build my first ITX PC ever in the Phanteks Evolv Shift XT. Its my first PC build in about 9 years. I have been an Intel/Nvidia builder/user exclusively until now, and have been looking to try out what AMD has on offer.
Favorite Feature
I'm not a big RGB guy, so I just went with a super clean all-black build. Thermals have been good so far, but the fans included with the MSI AIO are a bit noisy and might see themselves swapped out for some Noctuas at some point.
