Anyone have issues updating the AMD all in one driver that Asrock recommends, when updating to newer bios versions? I got my board to bios P5.30, but when trying to install the all in one driver, I get a pop up that says " Setup has detected and incompatible build. Setup will now exit." Any tips...

what's the longest GPU any of you have managed to squeeze into the case?

Ironically enough that 3060 @leifeinar posted ships from China. I guess I'll be waiting until the winter months to start searching again.

I wonder if/when we'll get normal pricing for cards. I paid $600 Canadian years ago for my first 1070 that I traded for the MSI. Would be nice to have those prices again lol.

Anyone have any luck finding/upgrading to a current gen card? My 1070 is still rocking with no problems but I'd like to upgrade, however I can't find any ITX cards in Canada.

I don't own a case myself. However, I would leave the L5 as is, but apply the aesthetic and design to a different style of case, like a sandwich or shoebox layout. The look of the L5 is a huge part of the appeal, imo.

From the limited reading I've done, most miners are undervolting their cards to optimize power consumption, maximizing their profits. So even then running a single fan at 100% would be enough.

Can't wait to see how hard it will be to find one!

375w?

I'm not sure a 3060 would see a significant difference running at PCIE4 vs 3. You can see a number of videos on Youtube that compare RTX 3070 and 3080 running at both PCIE 3.0 and 4.0, and even at 4K on high end CPUs, the difference between average, 1% low and 0.1% low FPS is small.

Agreed. I've held off on buying a new monitor solely because of upcoming gpu releases. I want to know if I can comfortably push 144fps@1440p maxed settings, or near max.

215W peak gaming, 164w sustained sounds promising. I hope MSI slaps their Aero ITX on it.

Has anyone done a build with a a Meanwell or HDPlex unit mounted to the SFX holes with a bracket? Was just brainstorming and figure this would allow for a ~100mm cooler, and could also mount some side intake fans for air circulation.

According to some some leaks, the 6700 XT is listed at 150W and 6800 XT at 200W, so looks like there's some hope for <190mm cards.

Yeah. if you're running a 65W CPU you don't need all 8 pins of the EPS(?) connector. Even some Z170 itx boards came with only 4 pin connectors, and those were boards that allow overclocking.
