I did yeah, tested multiple HDMI 2.1 cables and the A8Q on both HDMI outputs on the GPU all while it was open, just parts lying on top of each other. I'm 99% sure it was a defective unit since it should perform at least as well as the A8T, but it didn't and couldn't even output 4k@60Hz, so I...

Well, just received the A6-A8Q today and unfortunately I got a defective unit, no signal at all for all but 1 test after multiple tests, with the most success being a very broken signal. Very frustrating, especially given the amount of effort required to disassemble/reassemble the Velka. Just a...

For anyone needing to push higher bandwidth through HDMI, like, in my case, 4k 120Hz 10bit HDR, save yourself the hassle and go straight for the A6-A8Q, available only through the official adt.link website (for now). The A6-A8T definitely can not handle it, very frequent colour glitches and...

Yeah, I'm aware, I got a bit over confident/excited and just went ahead with the full build, even having known about the potential required BIOS setting. My fault and can consider the PCIE3 part to not be a valid complaint.

Received my Velka 7 a month or so ago and it's an amazing case. Main thing I would improve upon is including better cables (riser + GPU port extensions) or at least including them as options. Assembling the build only to have to take apart everything to set the BIOS to PCIE 3 before reassembling...

What fan curve did you use? I have the same card but had to underclock as well to reach similar temps + fan speed. Something like 830mV at 1770MHz off the top of my head. That's in my Node 202 with a 5600x + L9a, temporary situation until my Velka 7 arrives. Use MyUS and if you have a...

@VELKASE Michael Any chance of downsizing the Velka 3 moving forward? I'm not sure how it'll affect airflow, but is it possible to shift the graphics card up allowing for the PSU to be placed on its side. Should save some vertical space? Could maybe allow for 25mm fans at the top instead? This...

Just a suggestion from my experience with installing the 2.5" hard drive, a mount at the front of the case, above the power button internally I think would be best. The top (restricts airflow) or beside the PSU (super tight squeeze, at least with the Enhance ENP-7660B) don't work well for me.

After spending a bit of time with it, finding the VF-8010-PWM fan noise to be kind of like a whiny flutter at anything above 30%. Have set a pretty aggressive fan curve to avoid it and it's now virtually silent. Awaiting my chassis fan header splitter to install the 2nd. Went ahead and ordered...

I bought the same PSU from the same Taobao seller. Pleasure to deal with. It seems people recommend NOT modding the fan to the Noctua, which you can request from them. If you do, connect it to the mobo fan header. Default fan is quiet though, at least, if you're not pushing more than 400W I...

Built my Velka 3 yesterday after waiting almost 2 months for the Enhance PSU to be delivered (I ordered the wrong one initially from Taobao, it arrived around when CNY started, Coronavirus, etc. etc.). It is a beauty of a case. Went from the Node 202 to this and would probably consider this my...

Well, I fucked up and bought the modular version of the Enhance ENP-7660B by mistake from here. Completely my fault. Did intend on buying the non-modular even though I was tempted to take the risk after seeing this post which was a successful build with a similar modular PSU. I can confirm that...

Pre-orders were available most of December, I was indecisive and lingering on the site before finally placing my pre-order late December and not sure if I got lucky but it shipped around a week later. I was ready to wait a few weeks. Does seem like demand >> supply though, it's unlikely that...

I don't understand, pre-ordering was available not too long ago, wouldn't that guarantee you one at some point without having to wait too long (I guess a few weeks tops)?

I think there's a lot of potential. Right now it's limited to the sandwich form-factor due to the base board (the board with 2 PCIe x16 and 1 PCIe x4), but if that could be sold separately, then it'll allow custom case creators on here to create cases on their own. What I'm really hoping for is...
