Double-Posted… ugh

I just rebuilt my Dan A4 SFX with a Ryzen 5900 and an ASRock X570 PG ITX TB3. The TB3 functionality to connect to the same TB dock that I connect my work laptop to is really the nicest interface I’ve dealt with. If you can find an OEM 5900, it is very manageable in this case due to it being...

Anyone replace the riser with a PCIe 4 one that can share what fit nicely?

I was having issues cooling the 7700X I had with the 645LT, but to be honest, it is probably more of a 645LT problem than it is the 7700X. I also felt bad that the 7700X couldn't be left to its magic since cooling was limited overall in the A4-SFX. I got a great deal on a 7700X bundle is why I...

I recently caught wind of the neat Erying mobile SoC ITX science project motherboards, thanks to a combination of YouTube and Reddit, so it felt like a fun rebuild for my Dan A4-SFX build that I dismantled a few months ago to gift to my brother. He wouldn't have appreciated the A4-SFX, so I got...

Snagged one for $303 shipped to the US. Waiting for it to dispatch... hoping I can rebuild my Dan A4 with this thing!

Did the Intel Arc 770 fit without any unique modifications or issues?

Love this dialogue and journey. I went silent for my 12th gen build but it's not brickless.

Yeah, I've used the L9i in different applications over the years, including a S4 Mini Classic build that my friend still uses to this day. I know in hardcore benchmarking the L9i can potentially get crushed (think like MCE tech to max) but I have yet to see real-world use cases crumble. My...

I'm putting together a Dan A4 build to reduce some weight when I'm traveling. I have a few different cooling options available to me right now, including the Asetek 645LT, an NH-L9i, and a IS-47K. Noctua recently released a fan ducting kit (nice foam) for the NH-L9i/L9a to be ducted to the...

Stumbled across this... impressed! I'm looking for multi-240mm enclosures since I sold my Manta (and subsequently want another one, however they're not longer sold...). Inspired, however I have HWLabs GTS240's so I don't think this'll work...

I switched to a Raijintek Morpheus II Core on a 1080FE. Using two Noctua A12x15, it is fairly quiet and runs nicely.

Got any more updates on that Node 202? Lately I've been using mine since it is the best for portability (not the smallest, but since it's cheap and the outside is a nice plastic, I throw it into my bags that things like that with little care). Just upgraded from a 7700T (using a Big Shuriken 2 +...

I have a Node 202 that I use for my "portable" build when I go visit family (I hate trying to game on laptops). Custom loop in a 202 is probably going to be a waste of time. There's some videos on YT from a few people trying to do it, but with the limited space and rarity of the parts that would...

Just here to hype up more NCASE M1 love since the latest 3950X builds are about to make it that much more amazing :)
