Question 1

What AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT model and motherboard are used in this build?

Accepted Answer

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16G is used as the GPU, and the B650 Motherboard M-ATX with 4 DIMM slots is used in this build.

Question 2

How many M.2 and PCIE slots does it have?

Accepted Answer

Mine came with an ASRock B650M motherboard, which has 2x M.2 slots and 3x PCI slots (1 usable).  KEY POINT, the RX 9070 XT graphics card covers all of the other PCI slots, so you only have 1x usable.  The bottom PCI is visible but if you tried to use it you would be covering up the 9070s fans.  The 2nd M.2 slot can be used, you would install the SSD under the graphics card. You will need your own screw for it, there is a post but no screw.

Question 3

What brand of 9070XT gpu is this?

Accepted Answer

Mine was the ASRock Steel Legend

Question 4

What brand of 9070XT does this build use?

Accepted Answer

I got a Asrock Steel Legend, white.

Question 5

Is this white or black?

Accepted Answer

The AVGPC Whirlwind comes in black and white, it depends on the specific build.  The colors in the pictures are build-specific and correct so if the picture in the option you are viewing shows black, then it is black. If the picture shows a white case, then it is white.  The default option of the RX 9070 XT GPU that I have seen in other FAQs is the white Steel Legend model.

Question 6

Does this work well with Virtual Reality headsets using steam VR?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the AVGPC Whirlwind Gaming PC is Virtual Reality Ready.

Question 7

Getting a 2nd NVMe into the case is NOT easy.  I'm not removing the GPU, so its the width of the GPU to reach in. My fingers can't reach.  I got the data end plugged in eventually, but that screw end is impossible.  I used the screw from my previous NVMe, so M2 right??  It refuses to thread.  Extremely tedious.

Accepted Answer

Answering my own question.  This unit takes a smaller screw than my old computer.  I thought they were standard size.  The card can be installed with difficulty, difficult at both ends due to the obstructing GPU.  I am not brave enough to remove it first.

Question 8

How many SSDs/HDDs can you use with this motherboard and case? Thanks

There are two m.2 slots on the motherboard. I also have an additional SSD and two HDDs connected with an external dock.

Question 9

Accepted Answer
