    Log My (second) Streacom DB4 build

    Another plus about cooling the 4750G is it idles at 7 watts. I added an RTX A2000 that also idles at 7 watts to my modded 678 case. Very pleased with the results. For info, the 5700G also idles at about 7 to 8 watts, but will run about 10% hotter temps under full Blender render about 10% faster...

    I should be sympathetic, but I am just as bad - if not worse with swapping cases.

    Sorry, no idea as I have always used SFX power supplies.

    Enclosure Lazer 3D LZX-10 Custom Prototype - YouTube Video Finally Posted By Me

    I finally got around to making a 5 minute video of the two custom 10 liter prototype cases Lazer 3D was nice enough to make for me. See the video at: The cases are discussed in other postings here on the forum.

    Log Why do cases for an APU-Build (no graphics card) Suck?

    If you want to use a SFX PSU at 5.9 liters I can recommend the Yiluka YLK 01 APU PC Case. See my review here on the forum from 2/13/2021. Was expensive to ship to USA. Using a Noctua L12 Ghost Edition with the supplied bottom fan removed and a Noctua A12x25 fan installed on top of the cooler in...

    Cooling 120mm Fans in 6.7 liter SFF Case Fan Testing

    I see considerable case fan testing but seldom in SFF cases. The modified 678 case claimed a volume of 6.7 liters. The case is too small for a 120mm fan to be mounted internally. The ID Cooling IS-47-XT CPU cooler was mounted with the cooler fins running across the width of the case forcing air...

    Log Makerbeam Proof of Concept #2 Part 2 - Vertical Motherboard Orientation

    Updated my Makerbeam proof of concept #2 with a second lower height base section allowing the build to be converted from a NAS home lab using the original taller base section with a minimum of a 4 bay SSD drive unit and horizontal motherboard – and allowing for a NVMe to SATA adapter in the...

    No, I think I will leave it as it is for the time being.

    GPU RTX A4000 SFF Ada

    I could not resist the RTX A4000 SFF Ada GPU – despite $$$$ The only question I wanted to answer was – since all the power for the GPU is through the motherboard, what difference would this make to the board temperatures versus a GPU with its own power from the PSU? I ran my standard 10 minute...

    Cooling ID Cooling IS-47-XT CPU Cooler

    Purchased the new ID Cooling IS-47-XT CPU cooler as I keep looking for the ideal CPU air cooler to fit in my modified, no longer in production, 6.7 liter 678 case. The cooler is symmetrical, uses the AMD back-plate, allows unrestricted access to the upper NVMe drive, and includes two sets of AMD...

    Noctua introduces NH-L12Sx77 low-profile CPU cooler

    This version should bring it parity with the Thermalright SI-100 that is 100mm in height with 6 heat pipes.

    Log Makerbeam Additional SSD Storage Subsection

    I was impressed enough with my initial purchase of the ICY DOCK 4 Bay 2.5 SAS/SATA SSD/HDD Tool Free Mobile Rack for 5.25" Bay | flexiDOCK MB024SP-B for US $35 that I purchased a second to add to my other Makerbeam Proof-of-Concept. There is space for two Flexidocks side by side. The subsection...
