A Tesla car has a very prominent item that requires rather high voltage - around 300 volts. Can you guess what this item is? It is of course the motor. A typical computer has no component that requires over 12 volts. If you have the (mis)fortune of having a voltage supply of 48V, companies...

Those of us who use 19V as an intermediate voltage, that is simply due to the abundance of laptop power supplies. Where do you intend to get 48V from?

Listing states maximum output 12V@18A, stable output 12V@15A

I only have an answer for the last question. PCBWay and JLCPCB (specifically JLCCNC) would be suitable for prototyping / small runs. They are based in mainland China and Hong Kong respectively, so shipping costs might be expensive. As for finding local providers, you could try looking in...

I don't see it as being a throwaway statement, and would strongly suggest you reconsider its worth. Not only is an old ISP more likely to have lax security, no one else has reported having a sudden influx of spam to the email they used for their SFF Network account. Furthermore, you yourself...

Sounds like either your card is faulty, or your system isn't able to supply enough power.

Beautiful case, do you have a name for it? According to CaseLabs, it can handle brief peaks of 300w https://www.caselabs.org/psu/hdplex-gan-250w-atx You could add a power filter board like this for a little extra security https://www.ebay.com/itm/156614482515 It's for the 8-pin CPU connection...

Explosions? I've been using the TL-B12015 EXTREM for over a month now with no issues. Have it paired with Intel's 265K and an IS-55 heatsink. I have the CPU limited to around 180w and with the fan curve I'm using, it gets pretty close to max speed under full load. The fan has a ring blade design...

Another interesting one is Thermalright's new TL-B12015 EXTREM (distinguishable by its gold ring) - it's even more powerful (and noisy). I think the Air Slimmer 120 you mentioned should be sufficient, given the Framework Desktop's moderate TDP.

I ordered a 3050M via Superbuy. On the customs declaration, it was classified as 8471604000, which is under the section "SECTION 16: MACHINERY AND MECHANICAL APPLIANCES; ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT; PARTS THEREOF; SOUND RECORDERS AND REPRODUCERS, TELEVISION IMAGE AND SOUND RECORDERS AND REPRODUCERS...

Hm, I would've thought that would be enough distance to largely reduce noise. By the way, there's also a 20mm thick fan which could be worth considering - InWin Mercury AM120S. I have used it in an SFF build before and found it acceptable. Seems it may have been discontinued but can still be...

I experienced something similar on a laptop with AMD dGPU where I had overclocked the GPU's RAM a little too high. In your case, you have an iGPU using system RAM, but I still think it could be the same kind of problem. I would definitely try clocking the RAM a little lower. Those idle...

Hi, I know this is an older thread, but I am currently using a Uperfect display with my SFF build and believe I can provide some helpful information. I have Uperfect's 18.4" 4K display. It requires 14w at full brightness and I am using an external power supply that can give up to 15w. This is...

It is reasonably safe, just don't poke at it while it's turned on. You could buy a polypropylene sheet and cut it to size, to place beneath the board to reduce the potential danger - it's a good electrical insulator.

I am using a 265K in a relatively open case with ID Cooling IS-55. It is important to note the 265K can draw up to 250w during turbo, whereas 12600K only draws up to 150w. 250w would be far beyond the cooling capability of a 47mm cooler, and indeed likely any low profile cooler. I have limited...
