Haven't cut the I/O shield yet (just left it off for my testing there) but that is this afternoon's adventure. I'm going to take a close look, not sure if I can cut a slot and leave the edge of the shield in place, or if the notch approach you used is better. Either way I'll double check...

Happy to say, everything works like a charm. Thanks to @rubicoin for making it so easy by pointing out what to get, and how to set this up. Had over 99% in 3DMark stress tests before and after the change. Some numbers to crunch on (sorry they're all 3DMark... kind of lazy but good for...

Ugh, never mind. Always change one variable at a time... turns out I had put in an old SSD I thought maybe I'd toss Linux on, but never did and assumed it was just a waste. Turns out, had the MBR on it. So I'll get this rolling again shortly. While I'm posting, what was the consensus on best...

I ended up snagging a FE RTX 3060 Ti for my desktop, so I suddenly have a GTX 1070 laying around. I've tried to replicate @rubicoin's setup here, and it will start up and I'll get display through the 1070, but it will head straight to BIOS and not boot the OS. Anyone have any idea what's going...

Sorry to hear you're having difficulties. For what it's worth, I picked one of these up a few months ago, and couldn't be happier. - Ryzen 5 3400g - G.SKILL Ripjaws SO-DIMM 16GB (2 x 8GB) 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Laptop Memory Model F4-3200C18D-16GRS - Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND...

Does anyone have any benchmarks directly comparing a 3400g to a 4600/4650g on an A300 (keeping all other parts the same)? I'm curious as I haven't been able to find an apples to apples comparison on this platform specifically.

I don't want to junk up this thread if it's inappropriate, so please let me know if this is and I'm happy to move it elsewhere. I've been looking into getting/building a SFF box, in particular these, and have been doing a bit of research (quite a bit on this site), so if anyone would like to...

Already read and was watching those threads ? Thanks!

I've started looking into SFF machines, and stumbled on this site. I've always built towers, but I don't do much serious gaming anymore, so it might be time to see if I can go smaller and more understated. Seems like a serendipitous time too, with ASRock announcing the X300 with support for...
