So, what do you guys think about Nvidia's new "SFF-Ready" scheme? Will you be designing with that in mind? It's larger than I'd like, but it'd sure be easier to get more people onboard with small form factor computers if all they had to do was look for a little badge, rather than comparing...

Hey there, the design of this case is super cool! I definitely like the looks of the one-bend version better... But honestly, I probably wouldn't purchase one of these with the acrylic. I'd really love to see a version with more traditional metal panels (preferably vented and filtered)...

If these drives contain critical work data, you do not want them to go into an external caddie. They simply aren't reliable enough, and have a terrible failure rate. The 'proper' way of doing this is to buy a small NAS - and preferably two extra drives so that you can use Raid 1, Raid 5, or ZFS...

I get what you're saying, but as someone who's had blower cards since back in the 9800gt days where the notion of a graphics cooler that exhausted heat was radical and new... Even the well-made ones aren't as well made as you'd want them to be. I'm sure someone will test the XC3 soon, and it...

Okay, perfect, thank you. I was taking that number from the manual; I just wanted to double check it. (But I didn't think about paint thickness, so I'll factor that in, thank you.) You know, I did read that comment, but apparently I didn't retain it well enough - because gosh, where did I get...

Hey Saper, Zombi - it's been a long time, but I'm back! (Albeit in slightly reduced capacity.) Anyways, I've been saving up some funds for a computer upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077, like many. While I'm targeting 1440p, high refresh rate, I also absolutely love my Sentry and won't give it up for...

Just to be clear and check the, "flip the switch on the back of the power supply," troubleshooting... You installed the Nvidia drivers, right?

Oh my god, I hadn't seen those yet! That's super exciting, thank you - that's *exactly* what I'm looking for! Now to call gigabyte support and see if they'll tell me the exact dimensions of the heatsink itself. :p

Hey guys! I want to try something totally hairbrained that will be amazing if I can pull it off. To that end, I'm trying to find the dimensions of 3080 aftermarket cooler heatsinks - as in, without the shroud and fans. I can fit a width of up to 48mm (or just over 2.2 slots of heatsink), and...

Wait, this is only the second year this has been around? Holy cow - you certainly wouldn't know it, based on the community. I'm thoroughly impressed with the vim, vigor, and sense of passion that we all come together and share.

Interesting, that's wonderful news. Thank you so much for investigating all this. :)

Okay, that all makes a lot of sense. I'm certainly not looking for anything terribly fancy - just using dumb strips for backlighting. The most is probably cycling through a custom set of colors, or adjusting colors based on reported temps (but again, using custom colors.) The dream would be...

Nah, I'm happy with my custom-capped Leopold for now. What I'm trying to do is ditch aura sync entirely - I'm not at all worried about controlling usb devices, just the Iris 16, an RGB strip, and maybe onboard motherboard LEDs. I was under the impression that programming the Iris 16 was...

Holy crap! I picked a bad week to be absent; so much has happened so quickly! First of all, I'm glad to hear that it'll be clicky, that's of a stupid level of importance to me. :p Second of all... Is there any amount of money that we could throw at you to make this plug into (read: replace)...

Cool idea, but how are you going to avoid constantly pressing it too far and doing the wrong thing? I know that it would drive me crazy. :p
