    Log Ultimate HTPC: Streacom FC5, BD790i X3D, HD Plex 500W GaN, RTX 5080, Batocera

    This is brilliant. I wonder what kind of bottleneck / what are we giving up on by using the HTPC board as opposed to a regular desktop CPU/Motherboard ...?

    Log Switching to a SFX PSU

    Hi, I was planning to upgrade my build more or less by this year (although the new GPU releases didn't look that interesting). Anyway I had an external 550W brick, so I thought if I were to make any significant upgrade I'd be power limited, I would start with a 1000W "commercial" power supply...

    Log Another approach to brickless LLW V36Pro: 4.1L, 5950X + 4000 Ada SFF

    Hey, this is inspiring. I may have a similar problem but upside down (since my GPU is upstairs). Seeing this, maybe I can try and redesign mine too.

    ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Twin Edge OC Card Review – An Excellent Graphics Card for SFF

    Great review. This card is the best I've seen in that kind of wattage envelope in quite a long time.

    Optimum Tech Tests Custom Baffles for Air Cooling

    I am happy with my airflow too, but I can't be the only one that came here just to check @Revenant 's comment on the photo. Right?

    Log Cravo CG7 Rebirth: X3D, A2000, water cooling and case cramming

    I thought I was going to praise what you were able to fit in this case, but now I have to praise what you were able to fit in 205 Watts!

    I have this same radiator and a non-3D Ryzen 5800X, but I chickened-out and got a 140mm radiator which I ended up using. Obviously I am very curious about what your temperatures will look like. I have always liked this case, especially with the wooden panels.

    SFF.Network ETA Prime Tests ASUS ROG Ally With Linux

    I love that he did it for the sake of doing it, but yeah, I have to play devil's advocate here because a lot of people want specifically a Windows handheld to play Roblox, Apex (without getting banned) and all the Riot stuff.

    Completely switching the topic but, with your nickname I have to ask: have you checked the latest Monkey Island and if so, what is your opinion on it?

    SFF.Network ETA Prime Reviews Asus ROG ALLY Hand-Held PC

    I don't have a dog in this fight because I'm mainly a keyboard player. What I do have, is a freaking Asus laptop, and a lot of playtime in it. Which I don't think would have been possible in the ROG Ally. From my point of view, in this kind of device, below 2h of battery is not worth it. If...

    Log J-Hack Pure Mk2 with R5 5500 and RTX A2000 | Finally a power switch that fits

    This heatsink is almost matching the color of the Noctuas. Is this intentional? Anyway great job @Snerual, well played sir.

    Opinion: Star Wars Jedi Survivor is a DRM Dumpster Fire

    On the bright side, this further proves that the role of the reviewer is still very important. We can't just skip the reviewers nowadays in most cases. Furthermore I think that thanks to reviewers, there will be faster fixes for this game, and Last of Us, etc etc. Hopefully you don't have to...
