    Help S4M build

    I had a 8700K(delidded) being cooled by a Noctua L9i - One weird observation in terms of temps were that the CPU ran significantly cooler (10 degrees cooler) when RAM XMP was disabled. It's defintely not the easiest CPU to keep cool under these conditions but it can be done. You should play...

    Help S4M build

    Sounds like it's going to be a nice build! I'm not 100% sure but from my previous build with a 1070 mini there was just about no space between the 400w AC-DC unit and GPU PCIe power connector. I would highly recommend picking up one of these right angled PCIe adapters, even if there is enough...

    Experience with HDPLEX

    I was running a Delidded 8700K + GTX 1070 at 70% power. I mainly used my PC for Youtube, Deving and the occasional game of Destiny 2 xD. No overclocking, tried undervolting but went back to stock settings. The HDPLEX AC DC unit spent its life on my desk, outside of the chassis, and it had...

    Experience with HDPLEX

    Hey everyone, How has your experience been with HDPLEX? I'm having a very underwhelming experience, not sure if this is normal or if I am just being the infamous 'Karen'. I ordered the HDPLEX 400W Combo (AC-DC and DC-ATX), It worked fine for a while, was quite happy with it. Then the AC-DC...

    MDPC-X sizing help

    Hey all. I ordered a NFC S4M, that made it to the country in less time than it has been spending at customs. I still need to source a power button. I found a local vendor that sells MDPC-X sleeving among other nice things. https://beyondcustoms.net/products/oxide-orange-small-sleeve I also...

    Concept Side Exhaust Graphics Cards.

    Sorry for being so unclear. In short the aim is to cool a GPU. From my understanding the stock GPU coolers act as exhausts and draw heat away from the heatsinks - maybe stop me if I got this wrong here - so what I would like to do is use just the fan on the CPU cooler pictured above (dynatron...

    Concept Side Exhaust Graphics Cards.

    I know SFF cases are already extremely tiny but yet I still find myself wanting something smaller. Walking to my next lecture this idea came to mind, It's probably a bad idea for many reasons that I don't know yet but here it goes. So I've been sketching a SFF case with side exhausts (because...
