Now, this could always change at any time... but I'm pretty sure I'm personally skipping the ada generation, I'll definitely be eyeing this case once the next round of releases come out. Being able to stick to 7 liters and gain 3 slots.... I still do not know how you achieved that. (edit: Oh ok...

Fired it up today on my 3080ti finally. It looks like the updates have improved performance greatly! I'm on a 1080p 240hz monitor here today and I ran a first run simply cranking the preset up to overdrive, I think probably the issue was I flipped the DLAA on, and I got a 28fps result, which set...

Doing some pixel metrology based on photos now... - The long pcie finger width is 71.15mm (calipered with a physical card on hand) For this gigabyte card: - horizontal spacing between hole centers is 1581 px - length of pcie finger is 1920 px (wow!) That makes for 71.15 * 1581/1920 = 58.58...

I'm trying to figure out if there is any compatibility to be had between the 4090 PCBs that are out there with any existing coolers. In particular, 4070/4070Ti coolers and various 3080 coolers. I want to cram a 4090 into my Velka 7 but none of the 4090 cards will ever fit because they are too...

I think this is going to become by far the smallest volume 4090 hosting case. Watching with interest.

Hey @TheBigG I'm curious what your experience was with the dice flow case. Also I would sort of like to contest the notion that the 4090 is too much heat for 2x280mm rads... I guess maybe if you insist on OCing it to break benchmark records or something, but it can easily put out 100% of its...

Hey I'm wondering if a format like this but expanded slightly (probably landing a little north of 6L) for GPU clearance could comfortably host a 4090 in 6L. I have been thinking that a 4090 could go in a Velka 7, but only the blower cards (at $3k, too rich for me) fit, and would be too noisy...

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...
