    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    Does it not fit between the PSU and the Case or because of the 24pin power cable being too fat when you rout it between the PSU and CPU Cooler as shown in the manual? My 2.5" fits quite snuggly although it looks a little awkward (got a Silverstone FX350-G PSU), gonna update with a picture a bit...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    Underside SSDs with heatsinks will take away space from the GPU. Any 2 slot GPU will take all the space between the back of the Motherboard and the side panel, leaving just enough space for the riser to separate the Mobo from the GPU backside. I believe that 10mm will not fit, but don't quote...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    This will probably be my final update... I changed back to the original fan 2 days ago putting it in as an intake fan instead of the stock exhaust setting. Needless to say I had to notice again that it sounds like a jet engine. So I swapped back to my Noctua, also as intake instead of exhaust...

    [SFFTEC] Enhance ENP 7660B Pro (Limited Edition): Custom 600w Flex ATX PSU

    Guides definitely exist for ATX and SFX power supplies. Video-Guides even. The process is quite straightforward. The problem is that it comes with serious risk of electrocution. I usually leave the PSU disconnected for a day to let the capacitors discharge before I open one up but I'm still...

    [SFFTEC] Enhance ENP 7660B Pro (Limited Edition): Custom 600w Flex ATX PSU

    A bit more general question: Why do these Flex PSUs use exhaust fans? The only other opening for airflow is on the top side so with the exhaust fan running the PSU will pull in potentially hot air from the case and exhaust it to the back... Wouldn't it be better to pull cold air in through the...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    Mine was and still is plugged in and I am in Germany and bought mine from Amazon in Germany, so I don't think it's a country standards thing... I think a fan pulling air in would definitely be better aswell, I'd rather have 5°C more on my CPU and GPU than on my PSU, but then it's also gonna...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    Had the same problem... had to swap the 2 wires on the Noctua 2 pin adapter connector. The PSU seems to be using a different polarity standard for the 2 pin than Noctua does. Just strip the plug by pushing the small metal plates in and pulling it off, then reinsert the wires the other way around...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    You have to open the entire unit, for which you have to remove a "danger of electrocution" sticker, but surprisingly no "warranty void if removed" sticker. Then you unscrew the Fan. I had some difficulties getting the stock fan out, because there's just enough space for it to fit in, so you...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    My Velka 3 arrived last week, (album of building process) and I have to say that I've never been this uncomfortable while building a PC, but the result was definitely worth it. I think I managed to keep my build below 700$ overall. It's not a high end build by any standards, but it does what I...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    The Shipping costs for anything outside of the US don't include any tax the local authorities add to it, do they? Also kinda weird, shipping just the case (Velka 3) and the riser to Germany costs 29.99$ but adding a single of the 80x10 fans to it pushes shipping up to 39.99$.

    Need Advice on Mixing Power Connectors to a GPU

    yeah, the PSU has a single 12V rail. It wouldn't be feasible for a 350W PSU to be made dual rail, either way.

    Need Advice on Mixing Power Connectors to a GPU

    Hello friends of the SFF. I got a plan to build a System in the Velka 3 Case with the Flex ATX PSU SilverStone SST FX350-G, which only has a 6-pin PCIe power cable for a GPU. Now I wanted to put a Ryzen 5 1600 inside (because it's quite cheap at MicroCenter) and this GTX 1660, I've already...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    Do the guys here who want to put an RTX 2060 into their Velka 3 with the SilverStone FX350 just plug the 6-pin PCIe power connector into the 8-Pins of the GPU? Has anyone here actually tried that? I am thinking about getting a Velka 3 for a Ryzen 5 1600 + GTX 1660 build and I'm not so sure...
