The SM4 is on my wish list for sure, for now its wait and see mode regarding CPU voltage efficiency and other SFF developments in 2020-2021 while with hacksaw and file as described here 30$ Czech MFG SFF Case Hack I'm testing components and learning more about SFF. I also appreciate the...

The mass produced Eurocase x102 (available in the EU at around 25-30$) was intended for APUs with sufficient space to store 3.5 inch drives and or a CD player. It does though require mods. This is a work in process. I'm waiting on my order of a Ryzen 9 processor before bolting this all down...

A downside of the Cryorig is not being able to replace/upgrade the fan with standard profile fans. For that reason id-cooling is-60 or the id-cooling is-50x seem like better contenders.

Thanks for the suggestions. I probably start with the Cryorig there still are a few C7 CU's in stock in nearby Germany at CaseKing for 59Euros The Graphiene 10 Euros more - so the Graphene really just a cosmetic touch?

A mod of the Eurocase MITX X102. A CZ brand 25$ MITX case available in the EU 215x138x270mm The CPU chamber has approx. 92mm depth with 72mm between MB and Outer case. I'll double check for exact figures when back at my bench later today...

Thanks for a beautiful solution. I may go with the Cryorig C7 Graphene solution in the end, but I'm curious how far the NH-L9 I have here can be pushed with; larger fan, more rpm, more CFM.

I've a case that can handle a * 20-25mm fan upgrade possible * 100-120 wide fan upgrade. * db Noise is not major issue, this machine is typically used in a noisy environment. * How to upgrade Noctua NH-L9 Fan for 105w+? * Would augmenting the existing fan on the NH-L9 help? I'd like to add...

Royaba94 are you open for business, I've a few cables I'd like to order. If not is it possible to get a referral to someone/someplace else that sells makes modular power supply cables?

Still wondering how Moore's law may or may not impact SFF technology in the near future. Can we see smaller/more powerful - more energy efficient GPUs and CPUs being a game changer in the near future?

Thanks for your clear answer. With 105W CPU and a 105W GPU then in my current upgrade path it seems to me I'm clearly out of the AC-DC > PICO league. I'll likely need a 550 to 600watt SFX for sufficient headroom. Once I get past this build though, I'll likely be looking further into what...

* I'm wondering what observations, experiences and technical facts others here in this forum have about the question... ...Are AC/DC PSU/PICO solutions any match to the durability, reliability and performance compared to gold modular SFX PSUs?

Very interested please message me or Mod Edit: please read the rules thread, specifically the section regarding communication between buyers and sellers. thanks.

Very inspiring. Thanks for the details. I'm in the process of considering an SM4 build. How many estimated watts does this build draw?

Am I correct in calculating if I use a Nvidia 1650 I can drop my PSU needs by about 45Watts making this build a brickless build?

Joshua we communicated earlier - this though looks like the official community area for this sort of discussion. I've refined and made the build in progress hardware more concise here. ESTIMATED : 258 Watts on PCBUILD On BreadBox Test Table ===================== CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 2700 3.2...
