    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    I don't essentially have to keep the HDD in the box. I have a Linux server box for NAS, so I can kick the HDD out of my box if I wish. The other drive that must fit the case is an Intel 750 U2, and I believe that's a 15mm drive. BTW, my R9 nano doesn't have a back plate, and I don't remember...

    40mm cooler for LGA2011

    Okay, I will buy both combinations and nuke them with the same 150W resistor. Let's see which one has lower thermal resistance to air. I can also run a numerical simulation with ANSYS AIM, but I think it will cost me more time than just hack up a test jig and do some real measurements.

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Thank you. I'm trying to fit my U2 SSD and 4TB Seagate in the case.

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Hi. Does S4 mini support 15mm thick hard drives? I plan to put my hardware from my current Elite 110 to an S4 mini, and I'm using 2 hard drives that are both 15mm thick.

    40mm cooler for LGA2011

    Okay, so I won't hold any hope on R25 with stock fan. My new questions: Should I use an R25, remove its blower fan and replace it with a straight through 80mm*25mm fan (still slightly lower than 40mm), or should I go with a T318 with a 80mm*10mm fan (CUI CFM-8010-S13)? In other words, for the...

    40mm cooler for LGA2011

    I guess I will have to use Dynatron R25. The Noctua one doesn't have their standard 2 screw mounting system at all, so I won't be able to use any LGA2011 adapters and I will have to build the entire mounting system from scratch, and I don't really want to do so. I can machine a steel mounting...

    40mm cooler for LGA2011

    Thanks for the replies. So first, I have a GPU, and a quite powerful one, R9 nano. Also, I'm not going to get a server cooler. I've used a 1U server at my home when I was in high school. It's LOUD. I would like to know if Noctua's LGA2011 mounting kit will work on L9i. It says L9i can't be...

    40mm cooler for LGA2011

    Hi all. First poster here, but a long time mini PC lover. I recently came across NFC S4 mini, and I really want to pre-order one. Before pulling the trigger, I would like to know a few things: 1. I know it's designed for up to 90W CPUs, and my 150W CPU certainly will be too much for it...
