20eur + postage Edit: sold

Hello all, My better half has asked me to declutter my inactive projects. Cravo CG7 - served me well through two builds, in good condition. The bottom plate and fan brackets have some new drill holes from previous projects, but nothing on the exterior (visually). 20EUR + Postage Case does not...

There is a small scorch mark (or melted plastic?) on one of the 12V pins. But the pin appears to be intact, and is not broken.

Hello everyone, I suppose I have myself to blame for this - clearly the termination was imperfect. See pic below - I discovered a melted connector on my SFF watercooled cravo, pins correspond to +12V. I suppose it can be due to either: HDPlex GAN PSU issues (unlikely, I have another PSU like...

What is the maximum radiator dimension? I was going to use my modultra lobo with a black ice 240GTS from HWLabs. Will this rad fit? https://hardwarelabs.com/hwlmain/nemesis/gts/240gts/ 278mm x 133mm x 29.6mm (L x W x H) Edit: disregard, answered already...

I could have been more technically clear with my writing :D The latching function is a bit ghetto. It basically works like this: A real approach (delta between water out and air in) is calculated. This will be our lagging control variable An artificial approach is also created. This is a...

Well - I think I've reached the end of my testing. Time to talk numbers... We know that this system will be constrained by two things: thermals and power. So we have a few testing and optimisation objectives: Overclock/undervolt the GPU as much as possible (as this is weaker than the CPU, so...

I was using a cable matters mini DP to HDMI cable (i.e. no adapter, just a direct connection). This one didn't work. The latest one that works very well at 2k is the cable matters miniDP to HDMI adapter (this one). Oddly the simple amazon basics adapter also worked well at 1080p!

That's the idea. After everything is tuned and stable the final step is to find a good approach target temperature for the fans, followed by tuning of the PID controller for the fans. Currently at idle with an approach target of 10C the fans are at about 1200rpm, much quieter. The system is...

Windows all installed, and a few issues identified. I was having difficulty tracing why the graphics card would show anything (black screen) specifically after a reboot. Turns out it is the miniDP to HDMI cable. I tried with a cheaper passive 1080p adapter and everything seems to work, so I've...

Well, looks like I already have an upgrade plan for my A2000 CG7 that has only just hit the testing and tuning step!

Well - a bit of time off on holiday and right back into it. This weekend was well spent finishing the power solution and everything else. I ordered some new power connectors...but unfortunately I must have messed up part numbers... XD Due to the tight space at the front face of the case I had...

Thanks! It was the other way around. The GPU had to be tilted slightly (maybe 1mm towards the CPU?) to get the RAM cooler fitting lip to sit correctly over the top of the PSU. I'll post some more detailed pics of that arrangement next time I get to it. I think that's acceptable, I've seen much...

Pretty much. 99% of the time it is just a vanity/science thing. Actually I want to try regulate the whole circuit on heat load. If I have flow and temperature into the rad, temperature out (which is bolted underneath out of view) then I can run the system at full and stepped loads and make...

I had a few more fittings come in today, which let me finalise the layout. It was not as per my original vision, I wanted a longer uninterrupted run to the flow meter, but, we are on the SFF forum, so the gods of SFF did not allow it... The PSU is directly connected to the GPU. My main...
