Shadnic Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have been planning my new build for a while, and was going to go with a Core P3 + ATX mobo+ Single GPU + 280 Radiator AIO cooler, etc. It will all fit in the P3 very easily and will be a very nicely laid out and (hopefully clean) build. With the announcement of the new Core P1 though, I realize that I could get a mATX version of the mobo I was considering (Asus Strix z270G) which is essentially identical to the ATX version just ....smaller. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MTXYAB8?ref=emc_b_5_i&th=1 Is there any downside to going with a mATX board? Does the build feel more cramped? Is cable management harder? Heat dissipation worse? The P1 has really thrown me for a loop, I can't decide if I like the idea of a smaller case now or not. Would love any opinions or thoughts, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warreny Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 if you are going for a single gpu i dont see a problem but if you ever plan on going sli i would consider watercooling gpus. Considering how close they are could see heating issues. I have a p3 build on my wall actually wished i went with a p5 now looking at it >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
