There are splitters out there that grab power from sata or molex (from your PSU) and only need one motherboard output for the PWM signal. Every motherboard has at least one 4 pin cpu fan header. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/324920-phobya-pwm-8x-4pin-splitter-review/ No real...

Going to the GPU and to the CPU power plug are regular pcie power connectors. Last timei needed some, I grabbed these. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/molex/44476-1111-cut-strip/?qs=Ky1INM14uHp%252bCffNaic2PA%3D%3D&countrycode=US&currencycode=USD Also one of these can be helpful...

Does the psu have any molex 4 pin outputs? Maybe grab a couple molex to 8pin adapters? Or green to ground another psu outside the chassis and supply gpu power from that to rule out any other problems. Also might be worthwhile to throw the 1050ti back in and measure voltages across the gpu pins

Totally a rabbit hole... Wanted to give some perspective so you could decide whether or not to persue. It's the build it or buy it decision. Whether or not it's worth the time, effort, or frustration is personal. I don't contract out much. Even at the stage of life that I can afford to do so...

I wouldn't start work a prebuilt like a Dell. That's a lot of proprietary parts that will have no upgrade path. Figure out what your intended purpose is. Like rendering or gaming, determine minimum specs, then put together a parts list. Even better. Post here what you want it to do and what...

Super clean build, but I love the desk. Did you make it? Cable management behind the "v" is nice. The white channel on your baseboard is also nearly invisible. Minimalism and attention to detail are on point. Sorry no input on your case-specific question. But sweet build and implementation.

If you're not totally discouraged and still want to diy, most of the psus I've worked on in the past few years use pcie connectors at the psu side. I'll shorten the wires one at a time and try to reconnect each as I go. Always helps to have extra connectors on hand. You'll need a decent...

The aluminium panels are an awesome upgrade if you do go with the evo. Newegg has them in stock when I ordered mine a few weeks ago. Also takes off a little thickness and let's the gpu breathe better. I would recommend seeing if you can shorten the psu cables if you're into that kind of thing...

I have an SFX-L in mine, so absolutely. It'll fit ATX, but tight, and likely no room for an AIO. I'm not nearly as familiar with the Sliger, so can't add any valuable input there.

Do you mean the removable section above the power supply? If so, my black/gray version had that. I removed it and my aio tubing fits great with no sharp bends.

I had a similar issues with a 3600 under a scythe big shuriken. Using a raijintek opheon at the time. I ended upgrading to a 240mm aio and the opheon Evo. Idles are now in the 30s and load temps rarely exceed 70s. Oddly enough I built a 2600 machine at the same time and under the shuriken it...
