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.

How did you go about mounting the GPU? I'm currently struggling getting mine mounted properly, so that it doesnt like .. slice open the 240 AIO radiator. But if I mounted it a bit lower / more to the side, there doesnt seem to be proper attachment options, esp. for the riser cable, so it feels...

Machines & more got a review for the 850 and the 1000w version, dropped just a few days ago:

Bracket just arrived. Amazon seems to be rather clueless about their own tracking. Installed it instantly. Here's the exact numbers. Whoever thinks its 18L clearly did fail school (yep, read that number more than often): 27.4×16.6×36.3 cm = 16.5 L (16.510692 to be exact) Random image dump as...

I somewhat figured out a way to go with "regular" 3 slot mode. Its not nice. And it will basically prevent me from testing different fans on the radiator, too. At least I dont need to test with the P12 Max anymore, I've remembered I did that already - in the A4-H2O :D So until end of November...

Heavy sigh - to not start screaming and shouting in Klingon: Everything should fit, but doesnt, because SSUPD. All that GPU bracket stuff is utter garbage, and the idea of NON-removable radiator mounting brackets didnt excite with the original Meshi either .. now I've tried my best to reign my...

Guess what time it is? *drumroll* The Time of the Four-Slot(h) Mode! But wait, wait .. doesnt SFX PSU not fit with ATX / mATX? No worries, dude, I got you covered: The Rise of the HDPlex GaN 500! (or if that fails: Flex-ATX to the rescue!) :D Put the case in 4-slut mode, now even a GPU...

Only grief with this kind of method: Mounting the S12038 is gonna be a total PITA - except if I can find some solid decent 40 mm radiator screws. cu, w0lf.

Ok, looks like that you only can use VERY specific 240 AIOs. The Thermalright Frozen Edge 240 is sadly not compatible with ATX / mATX mode. It needs probably a strongly elongated radiator, which seems to be .. actually not the case for MOST regular AIOs. With a custom loop one might be much more...

Re: How to mount the (radiator) fans - I'm going to try out one base line test with the fans in pull, and another one in push. My guess is, if I go with push, the m2 drive on the back might benefit more, because I dont think a large heatsink is gonna fit thanks to the size restrictions. But with...

Board has arrived. And then I remembered that RAM prices are skyrocketing, better to get that 64 GB with GOOD timings now, even if it hurts. AND HURTING IT DOES. 120 Euro higher than what I've had to pay like 3 months ago! My stomach hurts 😭 Those 64 GB cost me MORE than my first 64 GB did 3...

My main system was and always is a workstation, so its main tasks are gonna be CPU-intense work (primarly audio editing / processing, web development, graphic processing, graphic design). I am happy to say I'm fully gonna use ALL of the m2 slots, and luckily, those are, at least on the spec...
