I know the sound is coming from the GPU, since I've put my ear pretty much up to it, and it only gets louder when I really stress the card. But, I also have an i5-8400, and an on board 2tb M.2. None of those are making any weird sounds.

Hey guys, I've had my 1080 Ti mini for a little bit now, and was curious if anyone else has really loud coil whine from theirs. It's not HORRIBLY loud, but it's definitely quite noticeable, even above the sound of the fans. While the card is "idling," it's not really that perceivable, but...

@Thehack I got the bolts today. They work perfectly! Thanks again! In case anyone was wondering, the TY100 fans DO line up with the L9i heatsink and they look great on it too! I took the shroud and fans off the 1080 Ti also, and after playing around some, I've decided to go ahead and order two...

I'm not really sure, since I have the L9i heatsink, but as long as the LP53 uses a 92mm mounting pattern, they should fit perfectly. I had ordered some Grizzly Conductonaut solution, and was shipped the wrong stuff so now I have to wait even longer, but once the correct stuff comes in, I'll be...

Maaaaayyyyyybeeeeee?? But not just one, I got THREE! Lol... I was hoping to swap out the CPU and GPU fans for them... however, I've run into some issues. They didn't come with any screws, and the ones that are on the Noctua cooler aren't long enough to use with these fans. I'll have to run to...

I intentionally left the item number on there to see who would look it up lol. However, it's not just ANY new drive... It's an M.2, which will help me eliminate all sata power and data cables in the case! Any guess what the item(s) from J-Hack are though?

Been a little while since I've had a teaser for the build... how about one, now?

Ah, ok. That's cool. Also, I didn't realize for some reason that you had multiple pics posted in that link. The kit looks good! How noisy are those fans though?

Interesting. I thought he used the typical DA- or LA- based bricks, but I guess not. Do you have any other pictures of these units?

Structural integrity would be compromised, but since the fans are typically balanced very well, and there isn't enough rotational force or air turbulence to throw them off balance, the overall difference would be negligible. Same goes for airflow though, honestly. Removing the struts wouldn't...

If I wanted to go brickless, which at this point I think I would love, what do you guys think would be my best solution? Is it even possible to do, with a system that is capable of pulling in excess of 500w? I'm pretty sure that the 1080 Ti is too tall to allow the HDPLEX 400 AC-DC unit to be...

Eurocom didn't ask me if they could check my cable, they just said they "didn't experience any abnormalities" while testing. I had the same revision 1.4 HEDPLEX models (with and without unified heatsink) that you did, and the same issues. Larry told me the same thing that he told you, that he...

Oh... I guess I misunderstood the information for those items. I thought the Dynamo was an AC-DC adapter, much like an external brick, and the HDPLEX 160 was the DC-DC main source. With that, I thought the total system wattage capabilities were capped at 360. I'll have to read up on those two...

I'm still waiting on yet another HDPLEX unit from Larry. This will be my third one, but he said that once the newest batch is complete, he will ship me one for free. Also, I can't go with the Dynamo360 and the HDPLEX 160 as my power draw is way too high, and I need two 8-pin connectors for the...

@Josh | NFC Do you happen to have a spare DC power cable for your Eurocom units that I could test my setup with? Long story short, the techs at Eurocom have FINALLY tested my unit, and apparently cannot find anything wrong with it. They say that the issue is either with the modded power cable...
