    GPU SFF 4060(ti) Models

    The 4060 TI is 20% faster than the 4060 according to most benchmarks, but you're right that the extra 8GB RAM is unlikely to make huge difference with today's games. That said with the Palit/Gainward at £380, it's not a huge stretch to get to £430 for the 16GB MSI. The Zotac 4060 Solo fan is...

    GPU SFF 4060(ti) Models

    Are there any new SFF 4060 TIs coming soon? What about the 16GB version? EDIT: What do people think about these: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-4060-Ti-VENTUS-2X-BLACK-16G-OC https://en.colorful.cn/en/home/product?mid=102&id=3e58f471-3784-4782-8ee6-05e7ceb0df66 The MSI is...

    If the Gainward was in stock at Overclockers I might bite, but it's currently listed as a pre-order with an unknown delivery date... They do have the Palit 4060 TI in stock but at a £30 higher price. They seem like the same card except the Gainward has a slightly higher Boost Clock.

    GPU SFF 4060(ti) Models

    That YouTube review was pretty positive? Relatively low price and energy consumption (and noise) to get 100 fps on Cyberpunk. I'm still trying to wait for a SFF 4060 TI 16gb though...

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Any other SM4-C owners looking at the Palit/Gainward 4060 TI as a GPU upgrade? Should fit nicely with room to spare.

    GPU SFF 4060(ti) Models

    Sure, it's only a marginal gain in performance, but the card is 170mm length vs the 200mm length of EVGA 3060 TI. The best comparison is perhaps the MSI Aero which is 172mm. But the 4060 TI is also 160 TDP(W) vs. 200 TDP(W) of the 3060 TI so it's a significant reduction in power consumption as...

    Thanks for the post! Really hoping for one that's <200mm length to fit my NFC S4C case.

    RTX 3060 Ti S4 Compatability - EVGA

    Do you think the HDPLEX 400W is enough to power this?

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Josh said the RTX 3060 Ti should technically fit as the old SM4-Cs were designed for video cards up to 8 inch length. The power requirements are: "minimum of a 600 Watt power supply. Total Power Draw: 200 Watts" Whereas the eVGA says the GTX 1060 requires "400 Watt or greater power supply."...

    RTX 3060 Ti S4 Compatability - EVGA

    I'm also wondering if this will fit in an S4M-C... I currently have a GTX 1060 6GB SC Gaming, which is 4.38 x 6.8 inches. The RTX 3060 is 4.33 x 7.94 inches. That extra 1.14 inches to the length I'm concerned about. Edit: Josh said that cards up to 8 inch length should fit.

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Hi guys! I'm looking to upgrade my S4M-C, most likely with a new graphics card. This is my current setup, which is about 3 years old: GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING Intel i7-7700 + Noctua NH-L9i Asus ROG STRIX Z270I GAMING G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 2x8GB DDR4 3000 SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 500GB HDPlex 400W...

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    So I just swapped out my HDPlex 160W for the 400W version to hopefully solve my hard reset issues. I’ve got the 400 installed and everything booted up fine but I’m a little concerned about the cord placement. The 24 pin (and part of the 8pin cpu) is jammed so close to the memory I’m worried the...

    Hard resets when gaming on new sff build

    Just ordered an HDPlex 400W. Larry already found someone who needs a replacement 160W so it should be painless swap.
