Well, speculation goes like: Revival of 13 and 12th gen Intel, to be able to use DDR4. And people on AM5 are basically fscked. Lucky me that I bought this 64 GB kit, with stomach cramps, for 350 Euro incl. shipping. 🤢 Oh, and fitting to this topic: cu, w0lf.

Got me some more assets for my Dremel (8260), so I can haz make fancy wooden panels. Have some birch "craft wood" (Bastelholz) sitting around that I planned to use for the top hat of the S396, but using one or two for testing out how far I get with carving custom air vents for a front or top...

And then life decided to take a 180° turn in early 2025 and things just .. happened. I've decided to abandon this project for now, and just focus on finishing the S396 and my main build in the Meshroom D. Meshroom D with horizontal option, and dabbling into fancy wooden panels (which is why...

Quick test if 30 mm is enough distance for horizontal case (90° rotated); using standard radiator screws (32 mm).

realized one can change the position of the PSU extension cord. VERY welcome and happy surprise 😻 default is routing over the PCIe slots, which is kind of the worst possible option. I moved it to the opening on the bottom part of the case, and thus can route it on the side and then up or so...

maybe ask the folks over at n3rdware - they already offer aftermarket heatsink replacements for turning eg. the a2000 into a single slot GPU, so they could also adapt something for you. or at least give you pointers towards improving your situation 😎

Depending on the PSU, you should be safe below a specific wattage threshold. If all fails, maybe order the Enhance ENP-7660L-OVT or Silverstone FX600z (that seems to be almost identical to the Enhance unit; its also built by them, so my guess is its a white-labeled version). Yep, costs more, but...

Thanks to manufacturers not being that open about internals, these glitches are a given. On the other hand, 5 years ago you still had to go by the rule: "better to use 1 - 2 gens older hardware" to avoid any issues. These days? Still got the distro "what installs best" fun, but MX Linux or...

Yikes, 3 1/2 years with this build. Its like one of those cases seen in the background of Gamers Nexus, with the sign "BUILD ME!!!" written with white crayon 😱 😅 cu, w0lf.

Meshroom D surfaced last week. Have been rebuilding it with the Extender Bracket. Interesting fact: mATX standoff came pre-installed. Gonna work on it the next few days, picture dump surfacing soon. Thats probably starting with the bracket installation and the temporary feet test (90° flipped =...

There are numerous solid ARGB options for 140 mm as well, but oc that depends on the region you live in. Some regions have less good access to decent options. I'm in Europe, so here is a simple link to geizhals with various good options...

Now I've destroyed another two riser GPU retention clips. One from the 30 cm "basic" PCIe 4.0 I got like 2 years ago, and the one from the only recently ordered Thermaltake Riser. Actually its less painful with the latter one, because thats a "cheaper" but easier replace-able slide version, vs...

As I've accidently destroyed the GPU .. lock .. thingy - whatever its called, is it retention clip / bracket? - of the riser cable I had, I've ordered a new one. Just arrived (like 10 minutes ago). Amazon pretty busy already, and its just end of November. This one is a bit more flexible than...

On that note: Back to the Mortar mainboard - just, that its now a black one, but both the GPU and the AIO are in white. Oh, and obviously so is the extension bracket :D cu, w0lf.

Also, supposedly available at Caseking at the end of the year (site states 23rd Dec 2025). cu, w0lf.
