As long as airflow is decent and temps aren't crazy, they'll probably outlast the useful lifetime of the system. Past 1.5, things can start to get spicy but it's die specific and many can go way past with adequate cooling.

You've done something silly. These are registered sticks and won't run in commercial boards. Kingston do actually make some of the most affordable VLP sticks though. Have a scan back through this thread. Edit: sorry, didn't see the other replies as on my phone :)

Zooming in on the photo reveals the laser etching on the die to be "D9XPF". If they are supplying these exact modules then they are micron B-die. The 3G2 means it's 3200 MHZ and the AZ means they are unregistered. So you should be good. Results seem to vary but some have these running at 3800...

This is glorious. Your mods are next level! I was considering a similar project to fit a 30XX card in a K39 case but not blower style with a larger area heatsink and slim 120 mm fan. Alas, I lack the skill, time or experience for such a project right now. What temps are you seeing on memory and...

Unfortunately, due to study and other commitments I've really not had any time to put into this recently. Still running 3200 MHz at stock timings. I'm hopeful that the timings can be tightened up though the weaker memory controller on the 2700 might now allow it.

It'll be stock, which is very quiet until under heavy load. Coil whine varies between units though it seems. A can of auto spray paint could achieve similar results for those who like to DIY.

Anyone else see the rumour mill about 2 variants of the upcoming 6700XT? ASIC A - 230W ASIC B- 189W I'd say that power envelope is within scope of an ITX model. Any thoughts?

Depends. Where do you live?! Does it matter if the cables have markings? If you're planning on sleeving, then I'd say probably not. If you're in the UK then check out RS Components. Delivery is free with orders over £30 and it just so happens you can get 100 metres of cable there for £30! That's...

It really depends how much juice is running through the cable, for how long and at what length. You could go forth and do the math if the application demands it but honestly 18 awg (0.75 mm² for most people) should be easy to work with and will play nice with a good range of crimping tools. If...

They're all ECC. Do you mean to say registered?

I'm glad this exists. Though it may as well not. I'd have to sell a kidney to afford one... if I could even find one.

Nice. Now we need AMD to disrupt the mid range segment so we can get a price drop. That and global silicon demand to ease off a bit.

If going flex, Enhance 7660b is the way to go.

Yup, thought it might be. I own the K39 V2 also and the 180mm GPU limit is very limiting. If you want more power than a 3060, you should really consider changing case. The S4 mini would allow you to fit the Asus 3060 ti dual mini and stay brick less (I think?). K39 is not sub 4 litres by the by.

What is the case? Kind of an important factor here. Cases less than 4 litres that support descrete GPUs are thin on the ground already without trying to cram a higher TDP card in there. If you're not technically skilled and unable to fabricate your own then you're likely out of luck. 'off the...
