I finally had time to take the cable out of the box, and had another surprise... what is sold here on the Nouvolo website as a 3M Gen 4 cable does not have the 3M branding anywhere on it. The cable looks like a 3M cable, but instead of the 3M label placed on the cable and 3M text printed on the...

I unexpectedly received the cable Friday. Just two hours after I made a phone call to FedEx asking what was the status and I was told it's still in customs. Before calling I checked the tracking status and it was unchanged, in customs with papers required to be provided by the importer (that's...

My expectation was for a shipment to a EU country to be done from the EU warehouse, as you said it will be done in the post above on this page. There are no customs procedures or delays for shipments between EU countries. I don't understand what you gained by shipping from HK instead, but I will...

I must say I'm disappointed in the way this order went. I placed the order for the cable thinking it was going to be shipped from the European warehouse as it was said above, only to receive shipping notification from HK. I immediately sent an email asking for the delivery to be made from the...

Ok, thank you, I've placed my order. :)

Ah, I was not aware the USD prices did not include VAT! In that case I'll just order using EUR. Thanks for your reply! There is only one remaining question: do you happen to have the cable in stock in the European warehouse?

Hi, I'm from Romania. We use RON as the local currency. USD-RON exchange rate is better, which is why I would prefer to pay in USD, if possible. If I order today this cable, do I get it from the European warehouse? And to get it from Europe, is it compulsory to pay in EUR or may I pay in USD?

Hello, do you have local EU delivery now which can ship this 3M riser cable? Must I pay in EUR for local EU delivery even if my country does not have EUR as its currency?

@dudeperm87, I'm one of the Kickstarter supporters and I don't agree with you. When you take part in a Kickstarter campaign, you have to be fully aware that it might fail, and sadly it did so. Not because they did not try to manufacture a case, but they were overly optimistic back then on how...

I have a question regarding the heatsink: is it possible to pull the heatpipes for one of the cooling circuits (the CPU) out of the heatsink, or not? I imagine the answer is no, but it's worth to try! :) The idea is to replace those heatpipes with different ones in a custom build.

I've seen the same test on tomshardware.fr at this link, with the RTX 2060 (and they did try to use small heatsinks on the memory chips in a second attempt): GPU 60C, VRM 121C, VRAM chips with no heatsinks on them 121C, VRAM chips with heatsinks on them 105C The system was one with ASRock Z390...

I see a downside to having the top fan inside the case - once the top fan is installed, the case will no longer work in fanless mode as the fan blades seem to completely cover the top hole and would prevent the air to rise unimpeded in fanless mode. Well, unless there is an easy way to take the...

@yeahe - ML, how much will it cost to ship the 20 cm fan option at a later time to Romania? Will it be available as a part into which we can put our 20 cm fan, or will it be available only as a part with the 20 cm fan embedded into it?

Great to hear the 20 cm fan option is still planned. I am waiting for all items to become available before purchasing, which is why I did not take apart my graphics card yet, so I can't provide any measurements for VRM compatibility. @Eduard, it looks like the ASRock x570 mITX motherboard is...

Hello, I have a few questions: 1. The 20 cm fan case accessory option was announced since the beginning, but it's still not an item available for purchase. Is this still planned to be released, and could you give a time estimate if so? 2. The small memory chip heatsinks are available as an item...
