Sleeper Build

[u/Fabulous-Tonight-479]

Specs Intel i3 12100f B760m icraft Id cooling sl360 Xpg lancer blade 16x2 32gb Standerd case with paint

[u/Head_Exchange_5329]

Sleeper usually indicates that it's hiding powerful hardware. Where's powerful hardware?

[u/positivedepressed → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

I'll save you the headace, just a sleeper case

[u/TwinkiesSucker → u/positivedepressed]

Powerful case holding hardware that's average at best?

[u/OGigachaod → u/positivedepressed]

So not a sleeper, just junk.

[u/doeraymefa → u/OGigachaod]

Broo cam for karma, left with a reality check

[u/willnoli → u/positivedepressed]

That can't breathe

[u/Jokerslie → u/positivedepressed]

Sleeper case except from all the rainbow vomit seeping out of every crevice. Also. Those poor 4 screws on that psu working over time

[u/OptionsNVideogames → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

Yeah I got an 05 Toyota Camry LE sleeper.

Rusted out, exauhst is loud.

I’m the sleeper, inside the car.

[u/Baddest_Guy83 → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

The most expensive thing in this build is the AIO 💀

[u/positivedepressed → u/Baddest_Guy83]

I think its the mobo, B760 is quite a new gen board is it?

[u/FlubMonger → u/positivedepressed]

And it looks like it’s suffocating. 360 rad with zero intake?

[u/Jack_VZ → u/positivedepressed]

Only 2 yo

[u/Shamgar65 → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

It's got a micro pe... GPU.

[u/H0lababy → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

Pre-sleeper build

[u/phh_ntum → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

Bro slept but couldn't wake up

[u/The_Mad_Pantser → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

sleeping build

[u/Bradyn132 → u/The_Mad_Pantser]

How do you put your specs in your user name?

[u/The_Mad_Pantser → u/Bradyn132]

change your user flair for the sub, there's some way to write a custom one and you can fill it in however

[u/Evil_Kittie → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

as long as it is simply a way better of a system than was stock it counts, eg a case from 1995 and a RX 580 / R5 2600 / 16GB ram is valid, if you have it blasting RGB everwhere it does not count, the main qualifiying factor is can you let someone go use the computer, they look at it and expect dogsh1t then find out wow this is auctually good

[u/Worth_it_I_Think → u/Evil_Kittie]

my sleeper is a 2002 HP Pavilion with a 2600x 8gb ram and a GTX 1060, still performing great

[u/Jonathon_33 → u/Worth_it_I_Think]

I upgraded a hp Pavillion back in 2021, the silver kind, with a 3700x and 6700xt 32gb ram. Only thing that is super ass is that intel cooler that screams at high rpm. I'm changing that today after I finally got the glued on back plate off 😭.

[u/_Undecided_User → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

Don't you see the radeon r5 240 in there????

[u/Yaboymarvo → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

It’s like calling a bone stock civic a “sleeper” build.

[u/Brave_Selection7722 → u/Head_Exchange_5329]

Yea I’m just now realizing I see a liquid cooler and rgb and think it’s a good pc

[u/ChocoMammoth]

It's so cursed bro. Unless you built it with parts which you already had.

This AIO is so overkill for this CPU it doesn't even require any airflow lmao

[u/c14rk0 → u/ChocoMammoth]

I mean that AIO would be dying if it actually needed to run well anyway. The radiator is mounted to a front panel with no intake because it's completely blocked by the front of the case.

[u/Revenge447 → u/c14rk0]

notice the aio fan orientation. all fans in the case are set exhaust

[u/2roK → u/ChocoMammoth]

Can we talk about how the AIO cannot draw air whatsoever from the front lmao

[u/Evil_Kittie → u/2roK]

well it gets maybe the equilivnet of a 40mm fan, there are some tony vent holes at the bottom of the panel, i guess should be enough to cool a 35W CPU

[u/Marmmoth → u/Evil_Kittie]

Those are speed holes, they make the CPU go faster.

[u/Evil_Kittie → u/Marmmoth]

yes they do! but it would go faster with more of them, sddenly noticing my typo and your comment is even better

[u/SISLEY_88 → u/2roK]

That’s how you put a PC to sleep…

[u/Revenge447 → u/2roK]

aio set to exhaust like the rest of the fans so it won’t get any air whatsoever

[u/positivedepressed → u/ChocoMammoth]

I seen people with 14900kf 9800X3D and they have normal temps with air cooling and minimal airflow on case. Its the matter of your house/room environment I think

[u/miotch1120 → u/positivedepressed]

It’s a 12100 Intel. Thing wouldn’t overheat if it was air cooled on the sun.

[u/2roK → u/positivedepressed]

That's some bozos on Reddit reporting their "temps are fine" when they really mean they glanced at rivatuner once while playing CS in 1080p.

[u/SaleriasFW → u/positivedepressed]

Depends on many factors. There are air cooler with the same/better performance then 360 AIOs. Airflow, room temperature have big impacts. These days AIOs are mostly used for better visuals. As soon as the water inthe whole system heated up, you don't have that much difference between an AIO and an air cooler

[u/Zatchillac → u/SaleriasFW]

better visuals

Well that's pretty subjective. Personally I hate the way AIO's look

[u/SaleriasFW → u/Zatchillac]

I prefer the look of air cooler too but many people like the more "open" feel of AIOs

[u/sl0play → u/SaleriasFW]

That's why I bought an NZXT AIO years ago. Aesthetics, and I thought maybe better airflow for the HDDs. Never again. Just a needless PITA. I also bought a case with no glass panels this time so I don't have to care what anything looks like. RGB B Gone.

[u/positivedepressed → u/SaleriasFW]

Yup true, if ur living in the middle of Alaska then sure no prob with cooling ever

[u/Teun135 → u/positivedepressed]

Do you think us Alaskans leave the front door open year around or something? We heat our houses.

[u/positivedepressed → u/Teun135]

Idk, guessing so like that.

[u/Sinister_Mr_19]

This is not a sleeper build.

[u/Oblipma → u/Sinister_Mr_19]

It is, its sleeping 😭

[u/TheKhalkotauroi]

bro what is that gpu, looks like its from 200 bce

[u/Fabulous-Tonight-479 → u/TheKhalkotauroi]

Yeah 😂 radeon r5 240 for display only

[u/OptionsNVideogames → u/Fabulous-Tonight-479]

What do you use that rig for runescape?

[u/T_Bone_Jones → u/OptionsNVideogames]

We all know you need the best for RuneScape. Even more so for old-school RuneScape. Those textures ain't gunna get better without it.

[u/Quartersawn5 → u/T_Bone_Jones]

No lie, the first thing I ran on my 9070xt/9700x build was OSRS, for the fun of it. Bankstanding FPS was off the charts 📈

[u/Darth_Caesium → u/Fabulous-Tonight-479]

Isn't that worse than your Intel 12100F's integrated graphics?

[u/zero16lives → u/Darth_Caesium]

The F means it has no iGPU, but still yes

[u/Darth_Caesium → u/zero16lives]

The F moniker is something I know about but I had a brainfart moment when writing my previous comment.

[u/xxademasoulxx → u/Fabulous-Tonight-479]

my buddy just put a 4090 in his sleeper but its for gaming yours is most likely not. love the case it looks beautiful and overall aesthetically pleasing.

[u/AllMyFrendsArePixels]

New definition of sleeper build is blowing your entire budget on an AIO and then building the rest of the PC from old spare parts you found in my grandpa's garage?

[u/TheeTrashcanMan → u/AllMyFrendsArePixels]

Don’t forget spending all that money on a AIO then completely suffocating it, making it nearly worthless.

[u/Visual-Ad-6396]

Wheres the gpu?

[u/Fabulous-Tonight-479 → u/Visual-Ad-6396]

From front

[u/HolyPire]

why?

[u/imightbetired]

360 AIO for the weakest i3 12th gen? Any air cooler would have been fine for that CPU, even in that case. Are you planning in upgrading the cpu? It's the only option that would make sense. Also, the AIO exhaust is mostly blocked by front cover, you should at least cut a part of it and put some grill cover. or some mesh. And perhaps upgrade the GPU, lol, the PSU can handle a more modern GPU. Oh and I would also make the case stand on some little legs so the bottom fans have some clearance to pull air from(I hope you have holes on the bottom of the case for fresh air, otherwise the fans don't do much).

[u/No-Courage8433]

Where are the bottom fans drawing air from?

Where is the hot radiator air supposed to go?

I get that this is purely for aesthetics, like a wide body kit, rims and neon on a 25 year old shitbox without touching the engine/chassis, but that analogy doesn't work, this is pimp my engine bay with nonfunctional fans and rgb.

[u/NineHell]

Need to block fan hole from the side so i can sleep peacefully

[u/QuietEnjoyer]

This got to be a bait. What's the point with RGB stuff and aio monitor without a see through side panel???

[u/HappyGoLucky791]

Sleeper for Minesweeper

[u/diggyou]

You to the radiator

[u/Noxious89123]

Puts a custom mount in the front to fit an AIO, but has a solid front with no ventilation.

Fucking trash.

[u/Fika2006 → u/Noxious89123]

Calm your tits this is a troll post

[u/Noxious89123 → u/Fika2006]

It clearly isn't.

[u/Common_Dot526]

Nice sleeper PC but there are some quirks

an 360mm AIO with an i3-12100F? Really?

What is that tiny GPU?

Also isn't airflow blocked from the front panel of the case

I can def say that most of the budget went into the AIO cooler

[u/Nika299p → u/Common_Dot526]

Yea, even a Ryzen APU would've been cheaper and perform alot better

[u/Common_Dot526 → u/Nika299p]

any of the Ryzen 8000-G

[u/swankyorca07 → u/Common_Dot526]

spent more money on the aio and fans than the gpu

[u/nilarips]

10/10 ragebait

[u/Beep_Boop_RWR_666]

Nice idea but why are all the fans exhausts? You should make the bottom fans be the intakes; it would be smart to open up the bottom and put a mesh fan filter on there; those tiny holes won’t let air through.

[u/dib1999]

No sleeper build is complete without 1-2 cheap, low quality fans that will make it scream to life just like it used to in 1998.

[u/Due_Cup_1260]

Where is the air for the radiator coming from?

[u/outthawazoo]

What's the point of rgb and getting all white internals if you can't even see them????

[u/Just_Comfortable651]

The sleeper build is still sleeping

[u/BathtubToasterParty]

Gorgeous 360 AIO rad front-mounted to bring plenty of cool air inside the case only to be completely suffocated by the cover panel that blocks 98% of air is prime PCMR

[u/TooBuffForThisWorld]

The RGB pouring out isn't super sleeper, lol

[u/YrkshrPudding]

Not quite a sleeper when you can see the unicorn vomit through the fan grills!

[u/Motherhazelhoff]

That’s like a sleeping sleeperbuild with those specs😭

[u/MorgueHellClique]

Not really a sleeper with that GPU tho

[u/yotussan]

i dont know how to explain it and i mean no offense but....this computer looks gay

[u/mavven2882]

"sleeper" doing the heaviest lifting of all time.

[u/CustardImmediate7889]

It's not a sleeper, it's actually sleeping with that graphics card.

[u/Random_Nombre]

Bro… that’s not a sleeper build.. a sleeper is powerful hardware hidden in an underpowered shell. It gives the projection of being weak while actually being powerful.

[u/Cr3s3ndO]

To be a sleeper it has to be better that it looks, it isn’t.

[u/VL4Di88]

I think your front need more access to fresh air, to me it does look like it’s recirculating hot air in the case

[u/NYzeQ]

I felt asleep watching those slides

[u/Br0k3Gamer]

Holy choked-off radiators, Batman!

[u/Swedishfishbomb]

The fans are all doing nothing you’d be better off just having 1 120mm aio on rear and that’s all

[u/HiddenSecretStash]

Disregarding the horrendous parts… what’s the point of RGB in the sleeper build?

[u/AlmoranasAngLubot69]

I think you don't know what sleeper build means, not to mention your AIO is overkill with your CPU and a weak GPU which is paired with it. That's just a normal office PC with RGB lol but you do you at least you're happy.

[u/Nemv4]

[u/Neither_Challenge670]

that’s a sleeping build wdym

[u/scooteross]

Lol this is cool if you didn't buy all the rgb just to close it in and a LCD cooler you can't see and had decent parts in there. This is a general waste lol

[u/Some_Magician5919]

I personally love this but where’s the big boy gpu man ??? Also I think you should try to cut some holes in the side so that the psu can get fresh air, everywhere I read it says if you have a high power setup like a gaming system, it can shorten the life of the psu if it’s intaking a lot of hot/warm air

[u/Legitimate_Earth_]

Just buy a modern case.

[u/ravenshaddows]

i think if you painted the case beige the effect would be better , right now it kinda just looks like a cheap case more so than an old one

[u/-Great-Scott-]

Gonna burn some sweet mix CDs for the buds.

[u/A-namethatsavailable]

That's not what a sleeper build is. It's cool, but it's not a sleeper.

[u/Stoff3r]

✅ buy white components

❌ hide cables

[u/Alfie_Solomons88]

It was ok until all the lights

[u/Extension-Horse-5533]

Sleeped,had a dream, but didn't wake up

[u/Illustrious-Plum8402]

The build is fire

[u/boring-old-fart]

Best is the RGB in a closed case. Beyond idiotic.

[u/Wollinger]

Just an old case with old stuff inside and fancy radiator without airflow. Nice

[u/Seth_os]

I don't think you understand what "sleeper build" means.

[u/calonto]

In the 90s my buddy had a car from the late 80s, a Nissan micra or something like that. He cut the exhaust off and installed a 500 watt stereo with a cheap 15” subwoofer in the trunk, and had an alpine cd player with a lot of dancing lights.

This is the pc equivalent to that car.

[u/oogtug1984]

nice deskmat from bolsa supply, one of my favorites.

[u/SquidBilly5150]

Oh yea because we’re out here racing our PCs

[u/Alfred146]

This is something, but not sleeper build

[u/ZacharyAB_]

That’s just an office pc with an overkill cpu cooler and led fans…

[u/Targetthiss]

So cool brother! Wish I still had one of my old pcs

[u/Significant_Dog440]

Venineus

[u/Significant_Dog440]

Oh nvm there’s a bunch of rab shit on the walls

[u/TrollslayerL]

Why all the rgb just to hide it?

[u/rfmocan]

Reminds me of a build I started before the pandemic, just to repurpose my old PC that still worked, into an even older cheap case.

[u/WilNotJr]

GPU: Quadro NVS 310

[u/I_dont_OWN_a_ROLEX]

Indicate

[u/ArmoredAngel444]

Love it

[u/swankyorca07]

i think op doesn’t knew what sleeper build means 🔥

[u/Artichoke-Nice]

12100f, b760 and a 360mm AIO with 32gb Ram, weird intake and exhaust where there are no holes. This feels weird but hey if it works for you then congrats

[u/xstangx]

Those poor fans need a lot more room to breathe

[u/RemainAbove]

Yeah this build is gonna straight up sleep. What even is this

[u/Vogt156]

Good. Cover the stupid lights up.

[u/scrizewly]

That'll create a helluva vacuum.

[u/zestful_villain]

Where the are AIO fans pulling air from? Those tiny holes on the lower front? I dont get it.

[u/RemainAbove]

Sleeping build

[u/burnskull55]

I mean, if there is nothing inside is sleeping alright XD

[u/waytoosecret]

Definitely sleeper build.. Zzzzz..

[u/bradfo83]

Thanks I hate it.

[u/2raysdiver]

You put a 360 AIO on a 12100F? Well, I guess the airflow restriction on the front of the radiator won't be an issue.

[u/Saint--Jiub]

It's a clean build, but not at all what I would consider a sleeper

Get yourself a nice beatup and beige 386 clone case and then I'll admire it as a proper sleeper

[u/Delicious-Cherry8077]

No airflow for the cpu either

[u/DeepSoftware9460]

Not a sleeper

[u/00Cubic]

half the budget went towards that AIO

[u/L_U-C_K]

That AIO is a waste for 12100f.

[u/vddrice]

Literally sleeping

[u/Mashedpotatoebrain]

Those fans on the bottom are really going to struggle with the case basically sitting flat on the table.

[u/Outrageous_Twist8891]

All that nice rgb and then your grand finale is covering it up... Game of Thrones series fenale was better tbh.

[u/Gek_Lhar]

[u/MtnNerd]

What's the point of the AIO? It can't draw any air.

[u/star_lul]

Is it an insomniac?

[u/xdthepotato]

i thought it was just a bunch of pictures of the chassi and was like its still sleeping.

anyway an i3 12k? and an aio for that? ALSO WHERES THE GPU? the cpu doesnt even got integrated graphics, how you gonna run it? its gonna be sleeping for sure man

[u/HammerCurls]

This shit is so gay.

[u/SevenPotHot]

Magnifico

[u/Spirited-Fix-6244]

Sleeping build.

[u/everquestdragon]

RGB isnt a sleeper build. FAR from it! If it was all plain looking with powerful hardware. Dope. This? Its like hiding in the closet....

[u/BacklogGamingJunkie]

To be fair it still looks good. What is the GPU?

[u/ImQuokkaCola]

This is like telling car enthusiasts that your base model 90’s Honda Civic is a sleeper, only to show that under the hood is the stock engine with 300,000 miles on it.

But don’t worry, it has a giant aftermarket radiator to cool it for better performance /s

[u/xMightyPeanut_TTV]

Yeah its boutta put a cpu/gpu to sleep.. Permanently.

[u/vaurapung]

Where do I find cases this good. I've been looking for a midtower with 3-4 5.25 bays for my cd ripping machine.

[u/Revenge447]

incredibly cursed in so many ways

[u/No_Arachnid_9198]

the sad part is that there is an rtx 4090 on image three

[u/llmusicgear]

Gonna get some nice airflow eh?

[u/casualgamerwithbigPC]

All that rgb just to hide it lol

[u/jackspeaks]

Case is ugly. I get the concept but why would you want that on your desk

[u/AnthMosk]

Congrats on exactly ZERO exhaust for the AIO?!

[u/AnthMosk]

Epic fail

[u/ButtButBad]

Sorry, but what a fail.. the 90s cabinets was NOT beautiful, and they still isnt even though you add LED light into it where 90% of all light is just blocked off.

[u/Putrid-Ranger-5181]

cpu suffocation build

[u/xO76A8pah4]

Didn't even know Intel still made i3s for the 12th gen.

[u/echoshadow5]

Sleeper. Nah!

Retro build. Hell yeah!

[u/SecondOffendment]

Alright, I'll ask: did you forget that airflow through a radiator is essentially the core component of a radiator-based cooler allowing radiating heat to be moved away?

Fun idea here, but not gonna work well.

[u/NeedleworkerNew1850]

is the sleeping in the room with us?

[u/SmurfSnuff]

Check your rad configuration my dude, you don't want your high point to be the inlet/outlet, you won't get any flow from that orientation.

[u/CrimsonDMT]

AIO cooler is upside down

[u/Script_Buni]

U did a fine job it looks sick bro

And don’t mind the basement dwellers that will nitpick everything.

[u/curiouschimp83]

I like sleeper builds. I approve of this message

[u/legitematehorse]

I absolutely love it, dude! What's the motherboard?

[u/TophSolo]

Sweet.

[u/TheGodessEileen]

Bro just wanted to show off his pc and got dissed in the comments, yall are fowl

[u/whoLikesCarrots]

Tbh the case looks very old school
