Yes, if it turns out 2700X and Vega56 deliver to little performance for you @ 200-250W you can then think about a second GaN or a hardware update.

After I did everything to avoid the 40mm fans I bought my first Flex-ATX recently. The formfactor got just to tempting and I don't like that with my current custom cases (4.32L and 3.93L) I depend on the HDPLEX 250W GaN. 110€ for the FlexGURU PRO 500W... and it's like I always thought it would...

The latest is the baseplate for sandwich/classic layout. https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/baseplate-frame-for-classic-and-sandwichlayout.18364/ It's probably to late into this generation to focus on the 6700XT Fighter. Sure there will be other cards that will fit, but I wouldn't want...

Hello, In search for a cheaper alternative to builds inside my k4.32L and k3.93L (HDPLEX 250W GaN and riser cable drives overall cost up) I was back at the classic layout. But instead of deciding between a refined lasercut k8.87L or k5.18L I wan't to give me or anyone else interested an easy...

Unsurprising... with TFX you just trade in 40mm less width for 75mm extra length. Flex-ATX is great... I haven't tried any unit yet because I couldn't imagine it being silent., but the dimensions... I like how on the FlexGURU the fan is hidden and how even the 'modular' connectors are within...

I meant real Watts... so limiting to 65W means setting "PPT" on AM4/5 or "PL" on LGA1700 to 50-65W. From my experience this is achievable with Wraith Stealth(50W)-Pure Rock LP(65W) at up to ~1500RPM.

Thank you, no the plastic is from the packaging. I left it on while I was moving the card around alot. I found the riser on eBay and bought 4 of it at the time: https://www.ebay.de/itm/255507355206 another seller but it must be this one (I use the 18,5cm one).

The only k4.32L (V1.0) and one of the two k3.93L (V1.0) was/is used in two builds now. Online I didn't have much interesst,. niche within a niche? But since it's just a hobby I'm happy to slowly pass on what I have and make room for revisions/other projects. Yesterday I powder coated the base of...

@Ameubius Yes, 13600K/7600 minimum but they all can be limited to 50-65W without a huge loss in gaming performance.

@Ameubius bad availability in Germany as well. And I personally wouldn't have any use for so much performance :/ Just a interesting project and someone paying so much for a graphics card might as well pay 100-200$ for a custom case that is specifically made for it. CPU-Cooler wise it would be...

The Steam Decks mainboard + cooling solution is pretty small and has phenomenal price/performance. Even if you don't sell the rest of the base model as spare parts... 400€ for 16GB LPDDR5, 4C/8T Zen 2 and 8 RDNA 2 CU's. Outside the Deck any 2280 M.2 SSD would fit... Maybe you can get only the...

Annoying... in another market the full AD104 might have released much cheaper and with a much lower powerlimit :/ (I like fully enabled Die's xD) @dc443 I like the big FE's (3090/Tie/4080/4090) because this layout would be ideal to utilize the flow through design, a SFX-PSU has the height and...

3,93L (360x182x60mm) was possible... but is it woth it over the k4.32L? xD

The five k4.32L and two k3.93L prototypes just arrived :)

Happy new year to all, While waiting on the k4.32L & k3.93L prototypes I can't get a third layout based around the HDPELX 250W GaN out of my head: For longer than 197mm cards I'd change the layout to a sandwich style... here the PSU no longer dictates the maximum CPU/GPU-cooler clearance and...
