So I ordered the GPU block I mentioned earlier and after 7ish months it did arrive! The result is a dual radiator Ncase build with front IO and a Asus 3080 TUF.

I have a 3080 TUF OC in M1 V6.1 using 180 degree adapters for the power and the front IO in place. It is tight, but no real issue fitting it.

Yes. The 3090 has the NVLink bridge port, but other than that the TUF 3080/3090 PCB should be the same (some memory modules missing ofc.). 3080 TUF PCB which you can compare to the PCB picture on the waterblock site.

I'm hawking at this block which looks promising but I've not been able to find exact measurements of it, but it looks promising as the fittings would be recessed over the PCB. They are made to order, and the website is in french so expect some shipping if you go for one.

Is there any 3080 variant (apart from FE) that allows the front panel to be kept when using a waterblock?

Sure I get that but what you're doing could make the chassis give you a serious shock if some current has to be led away using the ground. The ground is third or fourth layer of protection so you will likely be fine. If something strange, powerwise, happens I would advise you to make sure you...

So you are grounding the computer using the chassis as ground?

Sweet build. What do you use for AC input? The C8 included with HDPLEX AC-DC or something else?

The new frontpage (aka not /forum/) looks okay. But the forums are really messy and I really miss the ability to see the latest activity in each subforum from the landing page of the forum.

I ordered on May 10th and it shipped out on the 22nd from the Germany warehouse. You should get an email with the subject "Your HD Plex order has shipped" with shipping information. If you ordered in April and are EU based I'd contact HDPlex to check the status.

S4M. I know what the options are, but there have been very few pictures (at least in this thread) of builds with the brick mounted internally.

My external laptop brick died last week (still gives like 120W but not the 250W it used to) so now I am on the waiting train as well. The new batch is expected to be in germany around the 20th May. Would be sweet to see more builds posted here to see how people solved fitting the brick internally.

You could front mount the AC-DC and put the DC-ATX where the AC-DC normally would go (bottom/next to the power inlet to the case) with some modding. Cable hell will ensue but that should be workable.

The sensor likely has some I2C or similar interface. Use that to get information to whatever you are using to interface with it. If you link the datasheet to the sensor we might have an easier time helping out :)

Josh talks about his plans to figure out how mill the AC-DC 400W a bit so it fits in the front of the mini here:
