    Log ORODRUIN: 5L Brickless workstation Skyreach S4 Mini - Ryzen 3950x - 2070 Super Mini - 64gb RAM

    Clarified the post's preliminary findings to avoid any confusion with 3950X temperatures in a 5L case. The processor will no doubt run hot when used in normal (indoor) settings. My findings are skewed due to ambient temperature in testing environment.

    I'll update the post with answers and more detailed photos for you @CubanLegend I'm currently working on finishing up a hydroponic system so that's taking up my time at the moment.

    With the arrival of a micro 4 pin cable splitter from CRJ, shift bracket, and HDPLEX power supply, it's time once again to continue the build. In goes the Skybracket with dual 92mm fans and the 970 Pro nvme drive. Tip: It's much easier to maneuver the 2070S into place if you take off the...

    This is my first ITX build and to start, I'll offer up some words of advice for those in a similar boat: Try to be as patient as you can. My unrealistic goal of building this in just 1 week set me up for some stress and anxiety. Take the time to do your research and do it well. I have entire...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    Plopped the VLP ram from supermicro on a x570 Aorus board, 3950x w/ Blackridge cooler & 120mm slim noctua fan. I'm confirming they fit in an S4 Mini but it's literally sitting on top of the ram. 0mm of clearance. In order to get it to fit I had to toss the vibration pads on the noctua as well...

    Orodruin (Mount Doom) because: endgame. Also, this thing is going to run hot with the 3950x and 2070 Super Mini packed into a 5L case. My goal with this build is to run all the components at a comfortable temperature without needing to undervolt. That means high quality thermal paste...

    Discussion 120mm push/pull on Blackridge cooler?

    Does anyone have experience with this? What's the ideal way to attach a fan directly on a heat sink without mounting points? I'm building out my skyreach S4 Mini as a workstation and considering chopping a hole in the side panel in order to accommodate an additional slim 120mm fan in a push...

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Just. Stunning. I'm new to custom cabling but was hoping to incorporate your sata power cabling into my build. For reference (and all the other modders here) can you draw a quick diagram of how the cables fit together?
