    Power Supply Convince me that Flex ATX PSUs can be quiet

    I toyed around a bit with creating a custom case around the TFX Silverstone TX-700 a few years ago, didn't really find a formfactor that had any real advantage over existing ones with an SFX PSU. That and the fact that it doesn't really outperform any comparably priced SFX PSU's nor allows for...

    Log Looking for a case with this layout but as small as possible, please help!

    Pretty sure that the SGPC K17 is exactly what you're looking for, only 2.22L.

    Power Supply Review / Teardown | 700W Modular FLEX Power Supply from TaoBao 7760B (MF-700F)

    As an avid follower of PSU reviews and threads over the years, this doesn't look like its build anything like a 600-700W PSU either. Seems like its using mostly low quality off the shelf parts.... I wouldn't plug anything valuable into that thing.

    How to get Windows 10 Product Key from my build?

    It often doesn't work if you bought your own key, contacting newegg might be your best bet indeed. Or try to find the piece of paper that came with the flashdrive that has the code on it.

    Power Supply Silverstone Extreme 850R Platinum SFX

    Those flat stiff cables are the worst, have encountered them on a bunch of PSU's and they make every build unnecessarily annoying. Recently had the pleasure of using a Fractal Ion+ 2 Platinum, and that PSU has really nice flexible flat cables, so it doesn't have to be that way. Maybe you should...

    Enclosure 5L case for 1st build.

    You can find velka 5 builds on pcpartpicker and builds.gg if you need reference builds, as for finding components just check the max dimensions for each part in the specs. you can always ask here on the forum if you're not sure about something fitting Edit: FYI: If you see a Velka 5 with an SFX...

    Power Supply Silverstone Extreme 850R Platinum SFX

    Looks like a nice enough unit, would've liked to see a third PCIe 8-pin though.

    SFF.Network Arctic Announces Alpine 17 LP Low-profile Socket LGA1700 CPU Cooler

    I'd probably just get a Jonsbo HP-400S, its barely any more expensive, lower profile and actually has proper heatpipes/fins....

    Advice Searching for small case which fits nvidia 4090 with ek block and mini ITX (all water cooled externaly)

    What are you on about, that case is way too large, he's going to put a waterblock the GPU so those dimensions don't matter, the dimensions with it installed should be close to 236.3 x 148 x 27mm. @TheBigG The Sliger CL520 is the smallest I can find at 8L, and should be fairly easy to get into...

    Enclosure 5L case for 1st build.

    Yep going to second the densiums. Alternatively, in the same style as the regular densium 4 but with slightly better cooling there's the SIXGE K2S v3.0 which can fir 2 90mm fans. Or if you want to fit a bigger GPU, there's also the Velka 5, which can fit a 270mm GPU in a 5L enclosure, but...

    Power Supply [misinformation] GaN Laptop Charger

    This reads like they're paying you to promote this product.... So whats so great about this for the SFF PC community? As it can only output 140W over a single port and and only 36W at 12v... for a $220 retail lol HDplex's GAN PSU can output 250W continuous and doesn't need a DC-DC ATX adapter...
