I'm pretty happy with my sffpc as it currently is, but I am looking forward to AMD's new Ryzen offerings. I wouldn't mind upgrading from my 2400g. Not sff related, I'm looking forward to getting married in October.

That's kind of how patents work... If you had the idea years before, you should have patented it.

I've had my Nano 56 since the first release in June. I haven't done much in the way of overclocking since I really have no idea what I'm doing. I just use Afterburner to run the fan at higher RPM when gaming. I'm quite happy with it, coming from using Ryzen 2400g iGPU and an r9 380 before that.

I've been using the HP Omen 330 with Dynamo mini + Dynamo 360 to power my system. I've had zero issues with this combo.

I agree. They were only occasional, brief spikes, though. I have it back on stock clocks and voltages. I just haven't had time to find the sweet spot.

My HP Omen X 330w brick has been powering my Nano just fine. While messing with clocks, my kill a watt even showed peaks of 415w.

Everything you just said sounds very exciting. I've never undervolted or OCd a GPU, but I'd really like to do it on my nano. I'm not necessarily after higher performance, but I would like to see temps lowered.

Depends on the rest of your components, but 600w should be plenty. I'm running a Vega 56 Nano just fine with 330w.

Came across this new review: Probably far more in depth than anything I can provide. Looks like it does throttle pretty hard.

I'm stuck at the DMV til the end of time, it seems, but when I do eventually get home i can screenshot GPU-z, so you guys can see all the specs, and run a benchmarking/stress testing program if you can recommend me one. I've never had the Dell 330w brick to compare to, but the HP brick is...

Powercolor Vega 56 nano and HP Omen X 330w power ac adapter arrived today. Installation was easy, and there's still a decent amount of room left in the bottom of the S4M. I think it wouldn't be impossible to make this a brickless build. I don't really know how to do any real in-depth testing...

I've got an S4M that currently has a big ol' empty space that's been waiting for a dedicated GPU.

I was lucky enough to grab one of these from Newegg yesterday morning. FedEx tracking says it was delivered to my parent's house about an hour ago. I'll go pick it up and start testing things tonight. Really hoping that the HP Omen X 330w brick and my Dynamo 360 + mini combo are up to the job...

I just ordered one this morning too. But I'll only be waiting as long as it takes for my 330w ac-dc adapter takes to arrive too. I'll be moving from my brickless hdplex 160 + dynamo 160, to a 330w HP Omen X ac adapter + Dynamo 360 + dynamo 160. So excited to be going from the Ryzen 2400G...

Good to know. It doesn't look like its any cheaper than the Dell, but it is a little prettier, IMO. Does it run cooler?
