So I found a case for the L5, it's Condition1's 14" medium case. Think the reason I didn't find out about them sooner was because they seem to be mostly in the gun community. Works great, much cheaper than Nanuk 915 and Pelican 1400. Quality more than comparable to Nanuk, but maybe not Pelican...

it was basically an impulse buy for me but I like it a lot more and use it a lot more than my HT5. The only advantage for the HT5 I can think of is that it lends itself better to internal PSUs like the 200W AC-DC (which I have) or the new 250W GaN (which I might try later), but it's still at the...

Keep the thread alive! Ain't nothing quite like the L5 Added a cheap local A2000 so 5700G can finally take a break. Been abusing Vega 8 for a long time now, 5700G + board + B-die kit already each died once from overwork last year 🤣

Where did you order yours? B.S. Inc wants $35usd shipped for 32 bumpons 😳 luckily I found the BS11s on digikey, got 64 bumpons for $22cad shipped Fedex I understand that shipping small quantities is always a headache for companies, but that's highway robbery!

sucks to be an early adopter eh? Guess I took a bullet for the team XD Interesting it was so easy to fit A12x25. Maybe I just don't have the grip strength LOL There's a new Amazon seller, has it for $80cad+shipping. I'm assuming that's the one you bought from, much cheaper than it was on...

Do you have the SKU for the feet? Looking for them rn

So - glad to be finally have my TV machine back up and running after 2 months of downtime. Now with a Strix-I, and some Ballistix MAX. Starting off at 4400 18-22-22 1.5V (which it runs like a champ) and gonna get familiar with the timings from there. Was hoping for Rev.B, but it looks like...

So after posting my RMA nightmare story to reddit and getting the attention of a rep, GB's USA staff finally decided to engage me via email and offered to replace the board. I ordered a B550-I Strix off Amazon to try un the meantime - anyone have one in the Lone L5? The Big Shuriken worked well...

Did you notice an uplift in performance or any difference in noise going from the stock fan to the A12x15? That looks like the perfect solution for me - my L12 Ghost S1 has some wonkyness with its coldplate, and L12S cannot coexist in the same space with the VRM heatsink/power switch/Dell...

My usual bench duty GT610 ran off somewhere so here's a 5450 Impact memes aside I'll probably try and get a hold of a Big Shuriken 3 if the Aorus RMA goes smoothly. Any VRM heatsink clearance issues on your X570 Aorus board?

@Lone I recall you saying a few pages back that the Impact probably isn't compatible? Guess what I put in the L5 today :) This all stems from my 15-month slowly building seething rage at my POS B550I Aorus that suddenly died the day before yesterday. Impact is far from practical, fitment is...

Impressive results! Perfect fit for a 5600X or properly tweaked 5800X, with that direct airflow path. I thought the SS135 wasn't shabby at all on noise. The D15S is pretty quiet but I have a feeling that would change when it's put into a confined space like the SS135 is. All coolers are...

That's more along the lines of what I'm expecting from a properly configured SS135, wow! Looks like the NCASE M1 has found a real contender. This is what I'm talking about, you shouldn't need another 120 because it's basically already a 2-fan setup in there with the rear intake so close. I'm...

I swapped on a redux P12 using the original clips but it's kinda sketchy as they are not designed for normal sized 120mm fans. Lots of force needed, not sure if that could bend/crack a fan in the long run. But in the short term at least it works. If you have regular 120mm clips from some other...

Push pull C14S only gains about 2C in sustained all-core and 1C in games. I do use iPPC fans but the only difference to the regular A14 is the rpm range, at the same rpms they are the same. So I'd still expect the regular C14S to come out on top. Unless you run it with a bottom fan only and...
