    Production SFFTEC Shipping Updates

    I just don't see any of these PSUs as legitimate alternatives to the SFFTEC modded 7660B, they're not in the same class at all. sure these PSUs will work for some people, and I don't have any objections to pointing out they exist, but it was the third time you advertised them in this thread...

    and it seems nothing he added changes what I said either. up to 300 W you're probably okay, but above that it'll run inefficient and because of that it'll generate too much heat to safely perform a noctua fan swap. for those who want PSUs capable of 300 W continuous or more, and want to safely...

    Production SFFTEC Shipping Updates

    REVOCCASES says the internals of this "Dark Forest" 500W look similar to the Metalfish 500W , which he shared his thoughts on here. I wouldn't run either of them anywhere near 500W; they're cheaply made and the fact that they require such significant heatsinks suggest they have poor efficiency...

    500 W vs 600W, silver vs platinum efficiency, fan as push vs pull (pull is generally preferred), and the added size of the modular breakout board could make it too long and incompatible in some cases (I believe the Velka 3 had this problem often).

    Enclosure ZS-A4S V3 - Sweet size for compact mid-spec air cooled build

    I've been following this case closely, thank you for posting. I am concerned about fan turbulence as well - CPU can be remedied by fan-under-heatsink coolers like the Black Ridge or IS-47K, but GPU could be troublesome as well. Some cooler designs do have the fans slightly recessed, which could...

    Interesting to see mention of a Pro model later this year "This year there will be a pro version, a price of 500+, and the workmanship and materials will be different" and based on earlier comments in the thread I would expect front panel USB and possibly audio on this model.

    Not sure when it was updated, but it appears the Metalfish S5 was slightly extended (325mm long instead of 300mm) and now fits full size mATX motherboards (244x244mm). Now 13.5L, a compelling mATX small classic layout case.

    ZS-A4s v2 6.1L Goodness!

    Nice build! Do you think 80x15mm fans would fit? They seem to insist on 80x10mm, but those are not so good.

    If you're looking for Flex ATX, SFFtec do a modded PSU thats the cheapest you'll find considering the specs.
