@dondan, what is the idea behind removing the plastic sheet? my experience so far is that it acts as a bit of a thermal insulator, especially with 30x0fe. without it case, psu and also cpu get some temp increase.

Black Ridge ;)

NH-L9a has a much better fan than Black Ridge's stock. If comparing with stock fans, Black Ridge is considerably louder at the same performance level. I have both NH-L9a-AM4 and Black Ridge but have not had a chance to compare them directly. I do have a C7 Cu that used to cool the same CPU as...

That is something I am wary of. Having tried that previously that plastic does seem to act as an insulator to some degree and that was without hot air blowing through cutout in the card like 3070FE does. PSU ran somewhat hotter without the plastic (not much but enough to not stop the fan when...

Pulled the GPU out of case and it runs its fans at 2000 rpm in the worst case scenario, so yeah, 3000-series FEs really do not like their backside blocked. Considering the air 3070FE pushes out, I really do not want to remove the plastic sheet. Or turn the PSU around. What do you mean by stand...

Got a 3070FE. This really does not work well in A4. I suspect it has to do with the blowthrough hole being against flat of the case and sides of FE are mostly blocked so air has nowhere to go. Turning PSU over sounds suspicious. I am not very willing to pump large amounts of heat through the...

Industrial... sounds pricey :(

Interesting. I did not do a full fitting with A12x15 because I do not have VLP RAM. When trying it in place without RAM on board and without screwing the cooler down did not see anything that would interfere. What is blocking the fan, VRM heatsink?

Edit: Missed the last post that already said desktop and RDIMMs are a no go.

In Win 901 is beatiful but it does not fit 240mm radiator - easily, you can always mount it out back, backpack style. If you want higher-end/hotter components, cooling is a bit of an issue. It only has 120mm fan in (from the hole in the bottom front past the connectors with some effort needed...

Strix Z370-I? Blackridge will fit on that without any issues.

how much of a consideration is budget and how much are you willing to tweak? the absolute best option is to make sure your motherboard has power limit options in the bios working as they should, taking a full-power cpu and limiting it to set tdp (65w in this case) and undervolting it as much as...

rdimm (r - registered) is not a good idea unless you have a board that explicitly supports it. udimm (u - unregistered) is what you need to go for in most cases. ecc is an addition question on top of that. crucial does have udimm version of the same memory, still with ecc though - ct16g4xfd8266

cost is not necessarily the biggest problem with these innodisk modules. availability with shipping to random countries is a big one. i am in eu but cannot find a single retailer that has these and no other place willing to ship them here. well, technically willing but at an exorbitant cost.

looks like am4 boards and ryzens seem to handle ecc just fine in general. how about intel? will these ecc sticks work with a normal motherboard that obviously doesn't list ecc support. specifically, i have an i5 8400 on rog strix z370-i. considering it but i am just too unsure about pulling the...
