    Discussion Ghost S1 and sandwich case users, what are you going to do when you can't upgrade to RTX 3090?

    Sorry to necropost but the xc3 3090 is fine in the ghost s1 mk 2. Had to modify (file) case slightly so ports weren't covered.

    SKYREACH 4 MINI (S4M)

    Hi all - my DC input cable to my 400 watt HDplex DC-ATX unit just died. I am wondering if anyone here has a spare cable they would be willing to sell me. Larry of HDplex is currently out of stock. Alternatively, I am wondering if there is any way to use the computer with a different PSU, which...

    SKYREACH 4 MINI (S4M)

    I'm back with another misadventure - I've had a bit of a mishap with my hdplex DC-ATX 400 watt. The unit itself is fine, but the connector from the Dell 330 brick into the HDplex got overly hot (right where the Dell plugs in) and the computer shut off. I think the plastic was starting to melt by...

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I am having an issue with my HDplex 400 watt ATC. I am using it with a Dell 330 watt brick. The issue is I can't boot with either the GTX 2070 or 2060. The HDplex just squeals for a moment when I press the on button. I'm pretty sure this...

    Due to delays in getting a replacement HDplex AC-DC, I am going to go for a Dell brick instead. How does one connect the dell brick to the 400 watt HDplex DC-ATX? Thanks in advance!

    I fully agree. Speaking of not bothering him, I was wondering if anyone knows when the new 200 watt unit will ship, as I am expecting one.

    Have you had problems with it coming loose during use? Mine seems like it is unlikely to budge unless the computer is dropped or something. However, I acquired some thermally conductive transfer tape at the suggestion of another poster in this thread and I will use it if I the HDplex becomes...

    Thanks to Josh for making an awesome case. I love my brickless s4. How is the 400 watt hdplex held so solidly in place? I don't get it.

    I have obtained a pre-wired C8 connector, but to say it feels tight is an understatement. Do I just jam it in there? It's so tight it's peeling up layers of plastic if I push hard.

    With a couple new new mini ITX x470 chipset boards appearing for preorder, which would you recommend for an s4 build? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157837 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119101 It looks like the Asus has bigger heatsinks...

    SKYREACH 4 MINI (S4M)

    So I am looking to go brickless for now with the hdplex 400 watt dc-atx and the 160 hdplex ac-dc. Are these two compatible with each other, and will this fit with a non low-profile 1050? This is so if I upgrade to a more powerful gpu, I only have to change the ac-dc component, perhaps to the...

    Thanks Josh for your previous answer to my noob questions. Josh's 1050 ti brickless guide specifies one "dynamo mini 200". When I google that, I only get a dynamo 160: https://www.sfflab.com/products/kmpkt_dynamo_psu Is sufficient for the 1050 and a 65 watt cpu, and will it fit in the case...

    SKYREACH 4 MINI (S4M)

    Here's a couple of noob questions for you all, but I've tried searching for the answers. I'm totally new to truly small SFF cases and I don't understand the way the PSUs that are recommended for the S4 mini work. So far I understand that: -For those uncomfortable working with open-case PSUs...
