    Log Inwin Chopin A2000 build

    DC Adapters come today so I can test my 200/230w laptop bricks I have, very keen to now have to either TDP limit the card or CPU! Also Cable Matters Mini DP 1.4a to HDMI 2.1 8k60/4k120, which everyone seems to say does a true 4k120, I'll test that and report back, I'm not sure if other A2000...

    Optimum Tech Tests Custom Baffles for Air Cooling

    I am a massive fan of ducting, I've created a minor amount of duct to my A2000 (check my build log) to the bottom of it's case, and I 3d printed ducts to successfully de-shroud my RTX3080. Without the ducts the fans could not sit flush with the heatsink and the whole idea was unsuccessful (heat...

    Log Inwin Chopin A2000 build

    I've had a lot of fun doing what I consider to be a proof of concept / work in progress in this tiny little case. Naturally, it drew heavy inspiration from a few A2000 builds right here on SFF Network :) We know the Inwin Chopin does not normally fit a dGPU, it required a lot of dremel work and...

    RTX A2000-X3 | a cool&quiet tripple fan mod for the A2000

    At this point I'm thinking maybe a milder shunt then, and definitely the 12v extra wire. Spent a lot of time over the weekend on the A2000 rig and it continues to impress me with it's chops at 1080p or even 1440p, tiny little beast! and for the time being the rest of the system is nothing...

    RTX A2000-X3 | a cool&quiet tripple fan mod for the A2000

    I was reading this thread and PM'd SFFMunkee about them and figured I should just come here to chat about it. Really love my little A2000, in an Inwin Chopin build that's almost ready to post about too :) I've already done memory pads and repasted the card, I'm gathering parts for the shunt mod...

    News RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation: Half Height Half Pint Hardware for SFF Workstations & Signage

    One of the only downsides of the A2000 and my LG C2 :( - unless there is any way to adapt DP 1.4a to HDMI 2.1, but my searches all come up with nothing.
