    Other Data breach or worse?

    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...

    GPU Review: Low Profile & Single Slot RTX 4060 (Frankenstein) from Taobao

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

    Motherboard Framework Desktop: ITX Motherboard with Ryzen AI Max CPU

    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...

    Motherboard Framework Desktop: ITX Motherboard with Ryzen AI Max CPU

    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.

    GPU Review: Low Profile & Single Slot RTX 4060 (Frankenstein) from Taobao

    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...

    CPU [08/07/2025]ASRock DeskMini X600 BIOS "4.06" & "4.08" & "4.10" & "4.12" - with AMD AGESA ComboAM5Pi v1.2.0.3e Patch.A & DDR5 SO-DIMM Voltage Settings

    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...

    Accessory Has anyone used 4k portable monitors?

    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.

    Log Ncase T1 v 2.5

    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...

    That could definitely work, but which internal power supply would you be pairing the brick with? For instance, Pico Box has the X3-ATX-300 but it wouldn't really be sufficient, as the 12V rail is only rated for 18A (meaning you're practically limited to 216w total) I am using a 330w DC-ATX...
