Thanks for the link to those build photos. I ordered the A24-V5 case and it definitely helps to see that it works. I am curious as to why you say the GAN PSU is not reliable? I have one of the 250W GAN units running in another machine and it has been stellar running a 13400 and a RTX 4060...

That looks like it just might fit the bill for me. I am not in love with the fact that it takes the Flex PSU but I think I might try this and figure out how to get one of the HDPlex GAN PSUs into this instead. So far that's the best option I have seen unless anyone else has other ideas. I...

Hey all. Looking for some advice on a small case for a low-profile GPU like the Lone L5. I have an L5 that I use as an HTPC case and I love it. I am trying to put together a PC that will be used as a portable streaming only build. Not game streaming. Just streaming from a couple of cameras...

Hi. Quick question I'm hoping someone can answer. I see it stated in a few different threads that the skyslots are "vesa compatible" but I cant seem to find anywhere that explains how to use them to mount on the back of a monitor. Is there some kind of adapter that goes into the slots...

How long is the riser cable? Are there any non certified gen 4 cables that will fit? Like the Loque Gen4 cable or the Linkup ones on amazon? I would be interested to know some specifics on the size so I could try to source a gen 4 version on my own. My biggest worry about a Gen 3 cable...

My recommendation would be to launch it. Get some enthusiast builds out there and then lower the price when you can and try to increase sales volume. You could make the announcement that a price drop is coming in future production runs (when material pricing and the general world economy gets...

Just a quick update on the increased venting and the GPU repasting. I replaced the side panel with the larger vent version and it did help the GPU temps by a few degrees. Not massive, but certainly a worthwhile update. I saw a drop of 2-3 degrees on the GPU. I really appreciate you making...

Any new info on this? Id love a nice clean solution for an HDPlex 400w external brick. Currently running the Dell unit, but its not really enough for my setup. If I stress test it crashes out. It runs OK just normal use and gaming, but its pushing the Dell brick unit hard.

Super cool! A single low speed front fan to pass air thru the case and the passive cpu heatsink would probably let you add quite a bit of wattage back into the cpu and still remain functionally silent. Maybe rotate the fins on the cooler to be horizontal rather than vertical if you did add a...

The 10400 is plenty for me and any gaming I do is limited by the 1650. I was going to do a 3600 or 3700x also but when I went to microcenter to buy it they had just gotten the new batch of Intel stuff so I decided to give it a try. I have a 3900x and 2080 super system in the livingroom on the...

Thanks! Ijust got them on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M0LD9L5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Thanks, Let me know. I'd be willing to pay for it. Not a problem. Was actually thinking about buying a 2nd case so i could Frankenstein one of them and not have to worry. A single panel would be cheaper than that...

Excellent note! I have not taken the card apart, but with what you just showed me I will probably do that this weekend! Certainly can't hurt anything. Good lookin out!

So... you have a bunch of primary side panels that arent usable? Any chance I could buy one of these defect parts from you so i could do a little experimentation with adding some additional GPU venting. I want to try adding more ventilation holes, but dont really want to start cutting my panel...

Hi. Under normal gaming use the GPU is running at 99% almost all the time so the temps get up there. Under just daily work or web browsing its no problem since there is no load on the gpu. Doing a bit more tuning on the power and frequency settings in MSI afterburner and I think I have it...
