Wow this is amazing! Id buy one of these in a heartbeat 😂

Absolutely yes please. I'm based in the UK.

In case anyone was interested, there was a recent article about a new LP graphics card based on the upcoming Intel Arc platform. https://digitnews.in/msi-has-unveiled-its-first-arc-a380-graphics-card-it-is-low-profile-and-consumes-only-75w/ Hopefully this comes to fruition!

Hi, does anyone from UK know of a low profile 1650 card for sale with the bracket with only 2 ports on? It’s become apparent that most retailers stock an updated SKU with 3 ports on.

Thanks for that. Yes, the PSU is of a very high quality from what I've found out (Japanese made). Indeed that is true. My SFF setup is very frugal because of the M-itx and the open air setup which requires no case fans, and a single SSD which uses very little. Nonetheless, it would be good to...

Does anyone know of a good guide for undervolting? In the end, I went for a 9100F and 1650 graphics card because I felt that they compliment each other well and it meets my goals for an occasional/casual setup. Mobo: ASRock Z370 Fatal1ty M-ITX/AC RAM: Ballistic Sport 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2400 This...

RE Upgrade: Would the following be suitable? i3-9100F with GTX 1650 Low Profile. Using existing 180W PSU (I was actually looking at ways of using adding a Pico as a secondary PSU to increase the power I had to play with, but it looks risky and complicated). The bottleneck calculator on...

That would be great, I mostly play strategy games which rarely create intense peaks in demand. The case has been really good ?. The only place it accumulates is on the fins and external metal surface. So its really no more difficult to keep clean than a regular case. I'm really happy with it...

Thanks Owliwar. I might just have another look at the Ryzen 5 3600 then ? It was getting rave reviews for its efficiency in the publication I read.

I've read that TDP is not a reliable indicator of power draw though, especially when turbo boost is a feature. I will stick to the logic that 6 cores is too much, and purely look at the 4 core 65w offerings. Thanks.

Would anyone be able to suggest a possible upgrade path for the i3-4130T CPU which does not require a PSU upgrade? The PSU is proprietary and is rated at 80 Bronze efficiency so I am at the limits when it comes to component power draw. I don't know much about undervolting, but the quad core...

Dreams do come true. https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/msi-geforce-gtx-1650-low-profile-graphics,news-61009.html GTX 1650 that will surely fit and spec's look pretty good too. Time to plan out an upgrade programme. Starting with the HDPLEX PSU

No worries. Its a bit of a minefield, but nothing involving computers has ever been simple. I guess that's why forever tinkering with them seems so normal whereas in any other walk of life it would be plain daft! Well if a rumour of a LP 1650TI coming out later this year is true, it may well...

That would be great. I intend to keep it wired to a TV so that would be the ideal scenario. Also this rumour looks highly promising, especially if the figures mentioned stack up. https://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/129809-asus-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-ti-graphics-cards-listed-eec/

Thanks! I was careful to take my time as I didn't want to spoil its lines. You're right, the cpu indeed was wrong, it was an Intel i3 4130T. I'm very heartened to hear that it could possibly grow. It has been good, and even with a stock cooler its whisper quiet even during extended gaming...
