If you are interested in PC airflow and creative PC builds and video, then this might just be one of the best videos in a long time. And his channel is def worth a follow.

A bold build, looking forward to seeing it develop :-) Rather than running the rads in parallel with four fans, did you consider angling the two rads into a triangle, and then sealing up the top where they touch, adding two side plates to close the sides of the triangle, and then a single high...

A lot of flexibility in this case. The ability to use an ATX PSU is interesting. Is the fabric front easily replaceable? Being able to swap the fabric out for different fabric materials or patterns would open the design up to a whole load of new customisation options.

Was following your build through the year, but back end of 23 was crazy so missed your posts about finishing the build. Really innovative use of space, and looks gorgeous. Raw understated power. Performance is also looking really good. It feels like there is a real difference (results and...

Time to get out the multimeter! Watched a video on testing PSUs Confirmed the pinouts for the PS_ON to ground wire https://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24, and the pins to measure the voltage at https://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#eps8...

Hi :-) There are some really sophisticated custom sub 5litre builds here, I’m not in that league, more in the 10-15L case size, but lots of scope there for a fantastic SFF build. I like to start with some cases of interest then look at completed builds for those cases on...

Pinouts for the connector on page 10 https://images.nvidia.com/content/Solutions/data-center/vgpu-a16-product-brief.pdf

I'm going to contact the online retailer and PNY on Monday to get a new adapter sent out, but wondering if I need it at all. In theory according to the A6000 datasheet it should just be an 8 pin CPU connector...

I tracked down the problem, although it's strange. Tried: Swapping in a Seasonic PX-1600 PSU, still GPU not powering up. Used the multimeter to try to check the pin out on the nvidia PCIe to EPS adapter, but couldn't make sense of the pin swaps as not a direct PCIe to EPS, looks like the two...

Also tried removing the riser cable and plugging the GPU directly into the motherboard, still not working. I would be really suprised if a card like this left the PNY factory not working, but i really can't now think of anything other than the GPU is faulty. So frustrating. Any help or ideas...

Hi I decided to update the RTX A4500 GPU in my Dan A4 H20 to an RTX A6000. But the GPU won't power up: the blower fan doesn't move when the PC starts which the A4500 does; there is no video output; the hardware isn't recognised in the OS (Ubuntu). The PC does power up and will boot with video...

this review contains all dimensions plus info on gpu sizes, and mounting a GPU rad in the case base, might work https://bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cases/lian-li-tu150-review/2/

Such a mod would be really easy in the wood fronted Densium 4 case, and I think I saw in one of the threads about this case that there is some spaces between components near the front panel, so maybe an extender could be mounted (?). Densium 4 APU and the slightly larger Plus case, now in stock...

Day 3 I managed to find some quiet time on Christmas day to go to the workshop and finish my Christmas project off :-) It's not without a final annoying gotcha! After the oak had been oiled and sanded a few times then dried out the whole front panel warped slightly so it didn't fit correctly...

Day 2 Today I learned some things about finishing metal. Not really done much metal work since tech college 30 years ago. With a bit of patience and lots of rework I learned that metal finishing is much like painting an old house! Huh? Mainly to get some good light and then to work with that...
