I wouldn't make any decisions until the July Ryzen release and possibly the September release of the R9 3950X. This morning it was reported that the R9-3950X had a Geekbench 4 score of ~ 6,600 / 65,000 when overclocked to 5.2GHz with 2133 MHz RAM, no less, on a X490 board. Many people are...

Correction. "In the end I removed the case cover and rubber fan isolators and placed an Arctic Cooling F8 80mm x 25mm thick case fan on the heat sink. It has a rating of 31 CFM at 2,000 RPM." It turns out that I am using an Arctic Cooling F9 92mm fan, rated at 43 CFM at 1800 RPM. Both fans...

Time for an update... been using this thing for the last week+ and it has been awesome. It now runs quiet. It is never noisy. And I don't think it has ever throttled the CPU either. The only time I heard the fan throttle up was when I was accidentally running 4 instances of Geekbench4 at the...

Subscribed as I need a work station too. https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/need-guidance-for-sff-ryzen-3900x-mini-itx-build-how-do-i-get-small-cool-and-quiet.10975/#post-150846 I just replaced a Dell Ultrasharp (U3011) with an LG 43UD79. About the same pixel pitch. The LG is...

I've been working with the Brix for a few hours now and I can't describe how great it is not having to listen to a friggin fan howl ! It's so peaceful now. I've listened to that stupid fan for 3 years. If only I had looked at it closer before now. Another benefit is that the video hasn't cut...

Sure you could print something up. The stock cover is a plastic box about 110mm x 112mm x 60mm placed overtop of a steel skeleton. The steel skeleton isn't really needed, unless for EMI suppression ? I've got pictures, but I don't have anywhere to upload them to the web. Imgur, maybe ? I'm...

Hi people. I have a Gigabyte Brix i7 5775R NUC type computer. It is decently fast for its vintage (Geekbench 4 4,886/16,089) and generally works really well for what I need - CAD, compiling, simulation, etc. EXCEPT the cooling on it is TERRIBLE. It idles at 65 to 85 C. It has a hair dryer...

Thanks for all the replies. They've been very helpful. Question: if the GPU on these sandwich style cases was moved around (up) a bit, would there be room to have a full length GPU and a 120 mm cooler on the same side of the divider ? Could one put an ITX length GPU and a 120mm AIO cooler on...

I agree. Looking at this video at 4:34 it appears that a CM240 AIO provides way more cooling and is quieter than all the other options. Especially for my loads, which are usually short burst loads. So an AIO cooler is a must. So priority #1 is a case that holds an AIO cooler. What is a...

Is the Noctua NHL12S a good cooler ? 70mm high (with fan or plus fan ?) Takes 120mm fan. Or should I go water cooled ? Will I be happy with a short (mini ITX length) graphics card or should I go long, or at least allow the option of a long card in the future ? SFX power supply ? Or ATX...

I need to build myself a small, cool, quiet and portable workstation computer. I am not a gamer. I do lots of design and development work in multiple locations, so this computer has to travel with me from location to location, where I have a display, keyboard and mouse set up at each one. I...
