Thanks! That's kind of cool. I replaced with a Noctua as soon as it got delivered though, the stock one is a no go because of height.

Made a couple of thermal images after not so stress testing for 40 mins in Team Fortress 2

The case and the fans have arrived so it's time to put it all together. I will be benching the power consumption, but that got delayed because of corona reasons. Pics: unboxing (kind of) and size comparison with Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny M715q The build quality is solid, although after I've...

Got the motherboard, memory and the APU delivered, will try to benchmark the power consumption. The stock cooler comes with thermal paste preinstalled, I heard it's of dubious quality but I'll be ditching this cooler in a matter of days so I guess it works. The design of the stock cooler is...

Hmm, guess I will have to get creative then. But at this point I'm not totally sure OpenUPS2 will even handle the packup power so it's the bottom of my list. I kind of assumed that the fan would chiefly be taking the space towards one side of the board. Back of the envelope calculation gives...

No it really doesn't. Must admit my automotive exposure is mostly DIY/FOSS so I'm clueless about the industry things as well as yeah, on the other side of the Atlantic. Nice, going to check out your thread. As to PCIe 4.0 that was mostly future-proofing for the next gen Ryzen if I upgrade...

Got the APU (9700 ₴ == $ 345.75, listed price on the site for the showroom one without warranty, the seller advised to get a proper one with 36 month for some $ 25 more), the motherboard (5530 ₴ == $ 197.11) and the memory (3294 ₴ == $ 117.41). Best local prices, slightly more expensive that in...

I considered that one, but I don't really want to get rid of the brick. Since I cut the GPU it's not like I need crazy amount of power and having DC in allows to seamlessly plug into the car's 12 V subsystem. My friend runs a garage for the repair/upgrade of EVs, mostly Renaults. There are...

Huh apparently I need to post more to unlock editing capabilities so I'll just keep replying and edit later when I get a chance. I initially wanted to go pre-built route with Jupiter A320, but A320 can't even support Zen2 Renoir APU not to mention the upcoming Zen3 Cezanne(?) ones. Waiting for...

Hello, Planning my first ever SFFPC build as the Lenovo M715q didn't really live up with upgrade-ability expectations for the similar role. Thought that I might as well create a thread here ahead of time while I'm slowly ordering components to get some early comments (asked in the reddit...
