If adaptors could be made for this connector then it'd be perfect, not having to leave room for power connectors on the top edge of the card allows taller cards to go right up against the panel. Could even integrate the power input into the PCIE riser like those made for mining to simplify cable...

Why would they recommend 5800x3d or any of the non-G series CPUs when they don't have integrated graphics? That completely defeats the purpose of the product unless all you want is a smaller motherboard

Really interesting experiment, any updates? The structure of your case is similar enough to the S4M I might explore doing a similar mod

Are those through holes for the M2 tap? Because I can't seem to find blind hole taps for anything smaller than M8

The actual power draw of CPUs under load can be more than double their "TDP", other onboard components and peripherals also need power. While it's unlikely you'll push 100% usage on both CPU and GPU at the same time you're cutting it real close, will definitely need to undervolt and set lower...

I'm assuming you removed the whole heatsink during the mod, is there the possibility that you didn't remount the heatsink properly? Poor thermal paste application? Replaced the thermal pads with ones that are too thick?

It can be manufactured cheaply with decent enough build quality, and the layout is tried and true without the cost and reliability issues of risers. Not surprised many vendors want a piece of this. NR200 only took off the way it did because SAMA isn't a brand as well known as CM

Cutout means it's on the inside, I'd take a deburring tool to it and call it a day lmao

How much taller is it over the PCB? Wondering if it could fit in a S4M brickless

I tried to join the QQ group since I'm buying from Hong Kong but my request was never accepted
