There's a severe lack of waterblocks on the market that are truly single slot (off the top of my head I think the only options on the market are specific workstation variants offered by EKWB and the ES reference line by Alphacool, both with very limited card support (the alphacool basically are...

Regarding the 'How's airflow even exist'... Fans, that's how... From personal experience, more holes better ventilation. Yes 'air can enter and exit everywhere' and that's the whole point. You use fans to direct where you want the air to go, and once that air has blown past the hot finstack, you...

Worth it to consider 12V DC units like that usually have two different power rating, one for passive operation and one with forced convection, make sure you add a fan if you plan on using the max rated amperage (check the datasheet, they usually provide a chart for temperature derate or specify...

Edit: Double post by mistake

I believe USB-PD specs maxes out at 5A for all modes (100W=20V*5A, 140W=28V*5A and 240W=48V*5A) So any cables or chargers that says it can do more than 5A is some sort of non-standard implementation and therefore not strictly specs-compliant (that includes the cable you linked as well as the...

The only time I've seen slim 280mm radiators is this little unbranded 17mm thick rad from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003937133687.html No idea if it is any good, but it's not like there are any other options in this category.

This might be a silly suggestion, but you should also check if your power button isn't defective (perhaps disconnect the power button entirely from the motherboard, and wire the reset switch in and use that temporarily instead) A few years ago I had similar issues (PC turning off randomly and...

Not been checking the forum for a while but just saw this in the recent store newsletter. I like the design but my personal feeling is that 50mm for CPU is a bit too restrictive and limits you to basically 2-3 main options like the Blackridge or the AXP90-47 (especially when there are some...

I just saw something from the Streacom booth at Computex that looks like it takes some inspiration from the M2427: (Relevant part is around 10 minutes in)

Alternately, running clean unsleeved 16AWG stranded wires with PFTE or silicone jackets would give you back a lot of clearance

I saw this new build from UFDTech with the older V2 case :)

I've been partial to HWLabs rads for my previous builds, but I agree with Nouvolo, if you're doing a build in a challenging case, the Nexxos V2 builds with the end tanks having ports on both sides plus a fifth port that you could use for drain or bleeding air when filling the loop is really a...

DDC pumps don't dump the heat from the pump electronics into the coolant, unlike the D5, that's why a good heatsink is important for DDC-based loops.

The colour coatings came out really nice. Regarding the pre-orders, will there be a hard limit on numbers or will you take as many orders as there are?

Nor was it my intention to discourage the OP. More options are always better, and there are only so many ways you can stuff components into a box!
