    S4 + HDPlex 200 possible brickless + build questions

    Good to know, thank you. I will be keeping the Dell plastic box of shame. :)

    S4 + HDPlex 200 possible brickless + build questions

    I've been running my S4 from a dynamo mini with an external Dell brick for a year and a half, and everything has been going well. A week ago or so I started getting power drops and I'd lose the system and need to unplug and replug to get stuff to work again. I ordered a HDPlex 200 DC-ATX because...

    S4 Mini + Dynamo Mini 160 cable/case collision

    @Josh | NFC I actually went through most of your videos after purchasing the case and before install. ;) The issue was almost entirely my fault. I don't think I'd seated the dynamo 100% the first time, since I did it being fearful of the cable and while the mobo was already inside the case. That...

    S4 Mini + Dynamo Mini 160 cable/case collision

    I actually almost did this. Luckily I was able to just assemble things tightly, drop it into the case, and very carefully splay the cables in different directions so they don't overlap and it seems like the exact amount of clearance I needed without pressure. I'm now fully assembled, thanks guys!

    S4 Mini + Dynamo Mini 160 cable/case collision

    Yep, the 4 to 8 pin is basically 3-4mm or so to close to the side of the case for comfort for me. I bent the cables as close to the plastic as possible, and it's still going to be smashed against the edge of the case so hard that I feel awful about it, haha. I was just curious if anybody else...

    S4 Mini + Dynamo Mini 160 cable/case collision

    I just received my Skyreach 4 Mini last night, happily began plopping parts into it that I'd already tested. I'm confused by the positioning of the Dynamo Mini 160 on the z370i Strix motherboard. These are all suggested parts, I almost verbatim-purchased the BOM guide for the 1060. When I put...
