    Motherboard Mini-ITX Dual PCI-E Hot-swapping, possible?

    So I'm currently designing and building my new rig, a TFF (Tiny Form Factor) build, what I'm interested to know is if it's possible to have a Hot-swappable PCIe connection while using either a single 16x slot or 2 * 16x slots via PCIe Bifurcation, I've never done Bifurcation before on a Mini ITX...

    Power Supply Recommended Flex ATX PSU - What should I be buying?

    Thanks for your reply, I have decided following feedback and my own research that a G-Unique PSU will be my best option, and after hearing that the FSP500 is loud I am even more inclined to get a G-Unique unit

    Power Supply Recommended Flex ATX PSU - What should I be buying?

    I am currently designing a new case for my first ever SFF rig, originally I was going to use a G-Unique 500Watt DC-DC PSU but seeing as after taking all components into consideration a Flex ATX PSU wouldn't be much smaller I've decided that I'm better off using a 500Watt fully internal Flex ATX...

    Smaller that itx?

    I suspect that I already know that what I am after does not currently exist but I shall ask anyway Can you get a motherboard smaller than itx but that still supports PCI E for a GPU and has a Ryzen7 or i7 compatible socket? I am looking to get a board that is no taller than 140 mm Thanks

    Need help selecting a suitable PSU for custom SFF ITX Case

    T Thanks so much, this is what I've been looking for, and as typing this I've just found a picture of the Arch Daemon Limited Edition version, so based on what you have depicted above I don't need any additional converter boards as it's all done with the G-Unique unit and the modified power...

    Need help selecting a suitable PSU for custom SFF ITX Case

    I am currently in the process of designing a Mini Itx case and I am in need of advice as to how I should power the rig, I'm intending to use a R7 1700 and a GTX 1080ti and going off rough calculations I'll need around a 500Watt Peak PSU, I have seen a post on G-Unique Power supplies but I am...

    Smallest Motherboard with GPU Support?

    Thanks for your Input, especially from yourself (Someone whose drive to improve SFF PC's I admire), by the sounds of it at the moment it's not a cost effective decision to save just an extra little bit of space and potentially lose future upgrade options plus the huge material costs in regards...

    Smallest Motherboard with GPU Support?

    Well, I have planned out a Custom Mini ITX Case that is 65mm x 350mm x 230mm, do you think that it's probably not worth making it any smaller? It is my first attempt at making my own case so I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to case design

    Smallest Motherboard with GPU Support?

    What is the smallest currently purchasable or soon to be purchasable motherboard that can support a GPU (Either full size or MXM)? I want to build myself a full capable mini pc but with a minimum GPU Spec of a GTX1070, preferably a GTX1080 or 1080ti though if this is possible, I noticed that...

    Minimum Height of Noctua L9a CPU cooler + Motherboard?

    Thanks for your help and the advice, I have decided that it is probably best to give myself 5mm extra space and that way I then don't have to worry about if the motherboard has enough space or not, This community is great and I look forward to becoming part of it.

    Minimum Height of Noctua L9a CPU cooler + Motherboard?

    Thanks for such a swift reply and thanks for the information, I had considered standoffs but wasn't aware they had a minimum spec, does the entire motherboard require that much height elevation or could I provide a cutout behind the motherboard that opens up as much of the board as possible and...

    Minimum Height of Noctua L9a CPU cooler + Motherboard?

    I am new here and this is my first post so apologies if this is in the wrong sub-section of the forum, I have a question and it's a really frustrating one to answer (For me at least), What is the approximate minimum height that an ITX Motherboard (Biostar X370 ITX for example) plus a Noctua L9a...
