Not a bad suggestion. I do tend to try to push the boundaries with everything that I do though so we'll see. I have made an album with all the photos that I made of the build. It's 189 photos. Probably half of them are not needed but that's still super meaty. I did make photos for most of the...

OK ok I'll post it soon. Tell ya what, I'll post it here instead of trying to resurrect my whole blog with it as an article. Since I have so many photos it will be a multi post series. It will also have to be a multi post series because i cant let it consume my entire evening. Yes I love the...

Haha i have like a hundred photos. been procratinating the writeup! I'm very proud of my creation indeed.

@ignsvn My experience running my 3080Ti FE at 385 watts all day long in a Velka 7 says a 4090 set to 300w would be comfortable in a velka 7, if it could have a suitable efficient dual slot air cooler attached to it. What I do is I have two NF-A12x25 fans bolted onto the GPU side panel...

I dont think 285w in this form factor is too ludicrous at all. It will be something that needs to be accounted for and dealt with, but getting 3090 performance out of 4 liters ought to be sufficient motivation to make that happen. What I'm much more discouraged by is the fact that it's gonna be...

I need to rewire my fans a bit since I've got a 40mm fan in addition to the 92mm CPU fan on the CPU header connected via a splitter (which sends through only one of the fans' RPM signals). So right now I have no feedback on the 92mm CPU fan RPM values. So far it seems okay. It is similar to...

Hey there, I am also running a 5800X3D, I'm using an AXP90 47mm all copper cooler, which I had opted to use liquid metal with (not the best choice since the cooler plate is pure copper... I wanted to give it the best shot against throttling, but even with PBO Tuner cranked to -30 it still...

Yea but that has all the good properties except for one thing which is the pc then has no more brickless capability which would be very silly for the 90% travel portability use case! The off grid use case is the 10%. And considering that portable all together is like 20%, I'm basically...

Yeah. I definitely follow you there. However the plans are not contrained like this. I am merely exploring options. I need to have all of the pieces in front of me so I can move them around and play with them, so to speak. You see, if I want to keep the SF750 PSU installed inside the PC...

Thank you. Could you recommend any alternative solutions? Would it be safe to do a test connecting the GPU to 12VDC and see if it handles it ok? For context https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/hdplex-400w-dc-atx-j-hack-users-how-is-it-running-for-you.17930

I run a M.2 extender or M.2 to PCIe slot riser. There is plenty of space (a rare thing in this case) to route a flat cable out from under the mobo/GPU. I would not run a hot NVMe device back there since you probably have a GPU whose backside is pretty warm directly above it, and very little...

Do you have any more of these? Is there a newer alternative that provides the same functionality? thanks.

@msystems how does something like https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/632/DS_Q48SC12050-611323.pdf look as a compact industrial grade 12VDC supply? I see its ripple is within ATX spec. But I do not know of other pitfalls to look for. And I am checking if @REVOCCASES has any more load switches on...

Thanks, is a load switch basically a relay but just more optimized (a mosfet instead of a clunky clicker thing)?

J-Hack M2426 limits daisy-chain CPU power to 75W and only uses 4 pin. Since I'm dealing with a 5800X3D this is problematic. I'm close to being ok but it does seem problematic. I suppose I could set PPT to 65W (effectively Eco mode), but it's very much not ideal if I'm wanting a fixed setup for...
