    CPU [Rumor ]Ryzen Strix Halo - 16CU up to 40CU APU

    Laptops? That's where the chips are going. Makes way more sense to have an powerful APU in a laptop than a CPU and a GPU separately. Less power draw, less heat, better battery life, simpler cooling solution design, more room for other components, etc. Honestly I've been baffled why AMD hasn't...

    Concept RTX A2000 Single Slot Cooler Mod - Rebirth

    I'm in for one, maybe even two. -Finland

    Memory ASRock DeskMini X300 - RAM question

    Definitely not. The 6000 series uses a different socket, it was leaked a while ago.

    Motherboard Low-power noiseless build

    I would go with an APU from the AMD RYZEN lineup. If you're in a hurry RYZEN 5 3400G or 3200G, if you can wait till the start of next month, RYZEN 5 5600G. (or 5700G but seems that you don't have much need for more cores than 4-6 so the RYZEN 5s and 3s should do it.) I personally wouldn't buy a...

    Hey from Finland

    Tere tulemast! Ootko syntynyt Suomessa vai muuttanut, kun Andrew ei ihan yleisin suomalainen nimi ole? ? Photoshop and Lightroom don't require anything too special on the hardware side but I'm looking at Davinci Resolve recommended specs and that one looks a little bit more tricky. What is...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    I'm sorry to hear that :/ I actually had to do this thing twice because on the first time I didn't know about the reverse polarity thing in the connector. And I still had no problems. I just did everything really carefully. I ask this just to be sure, but did you connect the Noctua fan to the...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    Unfortunately I have already swapped the fan with Noctua 40mm so I can't really measure the dB anymore, sorry. But as I said the original fan is insanely loud, really unbearable even from a distance. My estimated 55dB is based on comparing with another build that produced 55dB. Flex ATX was, to...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    It is insanely loud. And I use my pc 2,5 m away from me. I can't say for sure about the decibels, but I would say that it felt like 55dB. And the speed it runs is locked. To be honest I wouldn't recommend this power supply because of this. I only bought it because I didn't have any other...

    News Intel Quartz Canyon NUC - Intel's take on SFF PC?

    This is almost cool. The idea is there but the execution leaves much to be desired, at least in my opinion. The first major off-putting thing is the price, way way too high. The second is that this design they have right now doesn't save any space compared to many other SFF ITX cases and those...

    Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

    Haha, I did this same mod today too! Unfortunately, after I had already put everything back together, I noticed that the fan doesn't spin at all... I hope that there's just something that's blocking it from moving and not something more complicated... But I'm pretty sure there isn't anything...

    Cooling Corsair H60 vs H75

    Thanks, I went with the H60. Well I have compatible screws for the Noctua fan and the stock fan has it's own screws so I think I'm set even for some other case. And there is no shortage of hardware stores in my area if something goes wrong :D

    Power Supply Which PSU for this build?

    That is a good reason and especially in sff cases. I went with the SF600. Thanks for the input!

    Power Supply Which PSU for this build?

    CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2070 Mini Mobo: Asus Strix X470-I RAM: 16Gb G.Skill Trident Z SSD: M.2 NVME x2 CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 Case: Dan A4 SFX v3 I have used OuterVision power supply calculator to get load wattages ranging from 366W to over 450W with various tweaks to this...

    Cooling Corsair H60 vs H75

    Hey! Does anyone know if there is any differences between Corsair H75 and H60 other than H75 having 2 x 120mm fans and braided tubing? Any differences in pumps? And I'm talking about the 2018 versions for both. I am going to use the cooler with single Noctua NF-A12x15 fan in Dan A4 SFX v3 case...

    CPU Low TDP CPUs and Gaming?

    @alexep7 Cool to hear that you're going for a similar build as I! If you have a thread about your progress with the build I would be interested in following that :D I kind of think similarly with you about underclocking... Underclocking by yourself might not end up in as good results as what you...
