When do we think general availability will be? They said April but not sure if that actually means DIY or just prebuilts since these are usually more enterprise-focused. I did find one listing on ShopBLT for $1444. Early adopter tax or are they all gonna be that much? (they originally said $1200)

I said this earlier but this is a project I've been wanting to do myself for a long time now but never really had the time to devote to it (plus the available hardware options aren't great right now). One of my first thoughts for making the process easier was to 3D print a frame with the...

More pics of the card: http://www.gdm.or.jp/crew/2019/0601/307339 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, 1x DVI. Really wish they had traded the DVI for another DisplayPort when there's such limited IO at this size. Also this article does say there are currently no plans for release outside of China.

Personally a big fan of the redesign and the new color scheme. Obviously there are improvements to be made over time but I really like the shades of white and grey chosen for the text and background. The thing with dark themes is you actually don't want too much contrast as it becomes harder on...

I know this has probably been asked before, but is it possible to install a 120mm AIO alongside a shorter GPU like in the Sentry 2.0? The December wait time for the Sentry is a killer and I'd love for this to be a viable alternative.

Another really small 1650 spotted, unfortunately only with HDMI and DVI so no DisplayPort. https://videocardz.com/newz/gainward-and-palit-geforce-gtx-1650-also-pictured

I've been thinking through the design of how I want to do one of these builds as well and have been looking at Asetek's 92mm AIO for cooling. I realized I could maybe turn around the motherboard and have the AIO facing out the back and overhanging on top of the motherboard a bit. Of course...

The Zotac is actually 173.4mm and the Gigabyte is 170mm (first post in this thread). The Zotac is actually a bit smaller overall though due to the other dimensions.

Hardware Unboxed review. Only info I haven't seen elsewhere is the total power draw at 102W while gaming with a 2133MHz > 2933MHz memory overclock. Also an interesting look at it as a budget system.

Interestingly the Zotac card is actually smaller than the Gigabyte card overall despite being 3mm longer. If you care about the other dimensions, you're actually saving 9.3% overall volume with the Zotac card and getting a dual fan design for those extra 3mm at the same price.

I was looking for the total rad dimensions but later found this for the 545LC. Are the dimensions the same?

Some people are interested in connecting a GPU over an M.2 to PCIe riser for custom projects. It's not the main focus of the motherboard but it's still a good use case for people who really need the smaller form factor compared to ITX. People have been doing it with the Intel version of this...

Doesn't hurt to ask. I think others on here are also trying to do the same thing with a dedicated GPU right now. If it does work and makes sense thermally I might end up doing the same for my own GameCube build. Was planning on using one of the APUs but I'd love to do a dedicated GPU if it can...

Tech Yes City just posted their STX A300 video earlier and it says at the beginning that non-APU Ryzen chips are supported. Not that he's the authority on the matter, but it's at least a sign that something else might be the issue.
