The ASUS 4070 Dual JUST fits the SG16 ITX case đź‘€ | F1 23 VR SFF PC Upgrade Build!

I rebuilt my PC just so that I could play F1 23 in VR on higher settings and... it absolutely rocks. Parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/dylanmacintosh/saved/#view=GLDyFT Asus 4070 Dual GPU: https://amzn.to/3rHwKEB Silverstone SG16 PC Case: https://amzn.to/3O8TzsK ID Cooling CPU Cooler: https://amzn.to/3NXETMV I upgraded my previous small form factor build from an SG13 case to the newer Silverstone SG16 case so that I could turn up the graphics in VR for F1 23. I needed to upgrade my GPU to something bigger and better, which ultimately ended up being the newly released ASUS 4070 DUAL. When comparing the measurements of the case with that of the GPU on their respective websites, the tolerance numbers overlap by 1mm, so I suppose it technically shouldn't fit, but I wanted to give it a shot anyways since it was so close. As it turns out, the Asus 4070 Dual BARELY fits in the SG16- there's maybe a couple millimeters allowing you to squeeze the 4070 into the opening in the case. I also upgraded from a low profile CPU cooler to a much larger dual tower cooler. Everything else is pretty much transplanted from the previous SG13 build to save cost- so really all I had to buy new was the SG13 case, 4070 GPU, and new CPU cooler- and an extra 120mm slim case fan because I had the extra room. I was able to keep the same ITX motherboard, CPU, RAM, SFX PSU, nvme boot drive, and additional storage 2.5" ssd as well as the 120mm Noctua case fan which was the only case fan in the original SG13 build. So, in the end I've achieved a much larger GPU, a much larger CPU cooler, and much better cooling in exchange for only a slightly larger case while looking aesthetically better too. Overall, very happy with this build.

Dylan Macintosh

Your tech journalist.

I nerd out so you don't have to.

What I do

I cut through the technological weeds to give you what each of us came here for- a simpler life through better technology.  Just as inventing fire or the steam engine changed the vector of humanity millennia and centuries ago, so have computers today- only mind-blowingly, exponentially so.  The circumstances we find ourselves in today mean that each of us must become something we never dreamed- a nerd.

‍

When I'm not talking tech, I'm posting about it on YouTube, on Instagram, and tweeting about it all on the bird app. When the day is won, I'm gaming it up like an absolute madman or making music in my home studio.

‍

Is your name seriously Macintosh?

Yes- Macintosh is my real name.  As a child I resented being called “the computer kid”, so much so that I actually swore off Apple products during my angsty adolescence.  It wasn’t until the last of several Android phones bricked itself that I dropped the device into the trash can as I walked into the Apple store… and the rest, as they say, is a very expensive habit of premium consumer electronics.

‍

Is your name seriously "Dylan"?

Yes again- I recently found out that my first name has a history with Apple as well: the "Dylan" programming language was being developed for Macintosh computers in the early 90's, with a 1995 release- the year I was born. Coincidence? I guess, if you believe in that sort of thing...

Maybe it's not a good idea to shut my website down without a hardware reset button. Proceed?

Just kidding. Nothing was actually shutdown. It wouldn't have been a good idea. Do it again?
