    CPU PCIe x16 3.0 riser cable for GPU that's a ribbon not a blanket?

    I searched and couldn't find anything on their site or elsewhere that states that. Did you request a quote from them to find that out. I believe you, I'm just curious.

    CPU PCIe x16 3.0 riser cable for GPU that's a ribbon not a blanket?

    If I understand correctly, you are looking for more of a standard cable solution rather than a ribbon. Its pricy but I think the best solution would be the GPU risers made by Comino. It uses a newer connection called OCuLink, which is becoming common with server hardware...

    Nice, you beat me to it. Been planning to design an external enclosure for the EPP-200 similar to this. Have you done any thermal testing under loads?

    Motherboard PCIe on M.2 via adapter + riser

    Wow, audio hardware like that is way outside of anything I've worked with before. So my curiosity peaked, I've done a bit more research. Take my findings with a grain of salt, as this is not my area of study and I could be completely wrong. As mentioned in that youtube video, the unpopulated...

    Advice yet-another Ghost S1 build, need to choose CPU now

    I think you've got the right Idea not exceeding 65w on a air-cooled ITX system. The Ryzen 7 3700x Is certainly your top choice for that power efficiency but depending on your use case you might consider something with better price for performance. If your end use is only gaming, then you are not...

    Foremost, thank you for having me! As stated in the thread title, I am really hoping to provide a positive addition to this community. It's been many years since I've been on an active forums, so I have to say this gives me some good nostalgia. I've been building computer systems for nearly 2...
