    [Completed build] AIO Breathe Case Ryzen build!

    Yea I had to disassemble the dell brick, turns out even the brick PCB was longer than the case is wide :( so I had to cut the PCB down, re-solder the components back on and make a new case around everything. To fit the AIO I knew I would need to remove half of the spine but lucky my cobbled up...

    Power Supply Dell 330W brick problem?

    Do you know exactly what is whining, some graphics cards whine at high frame rates if its the HDplex then its probably under too much stress

    HDplex 160 temps - what can I expect?

    Yea once I finish with this year of uni (in like 2 weeks yay) Ill get a build log going, but I have to admit its rather improvised. I just brought all the bits I will need and then Im just going to hack up the case to make it all fit in the shape i want... what could go wrong!

    HDplex 160 temps - what can I expect?

    atm I'm using a 24pin cable extention so the HDplex is dangling outside the "case" (its just a frame from a silverstone sg13b) so its getting no active airflow at all and the reason why I can just touch it and feel how hot it is :). All this is in the mean time till i get a mobo that can fit the...

    HDplex 160 temps - what can I expect?

    NFC S4 Mini 3D Printed

    Considering the cost of the bezel would you consider making an S4 Mini "lite" or similar which just has a less expensive bezel (thinner, less machined, different alloy) for the market of people who want cheaper minis? It would also make the product lighter which for some people could be a bonus

    Are binned chips better? Ryzen 5 1600 vs 1600x

    asus z170 maximus VIII impact, because the 8pin CPU is literally right next to the 24pin so when u plug in the HDplex u cant plug in the 8pin CPU... must be one of the only mobos in existence which is incompatible
