    Cooling ID-Cooling IS-47K 47mm 6-heatpipe cooler with 92x15mm fan - Black Ridge alternative?

    Bit of a warning, since getting this fan, mounting (set to intake) and running. The stock fan blades are very sharp and very close to the edge of the fan. Once the system heats up, and the blades get spinning, the cooler frame (outside supporting brace of the cooler fins) can snag the blades as...

    Cooling ID-Cooling IS-47K 47mm 6-heatpipe cooler with 92x15mm fan - Black Ridge alternative?

    @Thehack any chance you'll be getting these back in stock soon? I missed the first window and haven't seen them anywhere else.

    Cooling ID-Cooling IS-47K 47mm 6-heatpipe cooler with 92x15mm fan - Black Ridge alternative?

    I also found it on Taobao (here's the Superbuy link) but I genuinely can't make heads or tails of the "Classifications". They look like different coolers, but maybe they just borrowed pics of their other coolers for examples of materials and fans?

    Cooling ID-Cooling IS-47K 47mm 6-heatpipe cooler with 92x15mm fan - Black Ridge alternative?

    Where are y'all buying this? Their website links to Newegg, Ebay, and AliExpress pages that don't have it for sale. Seen a couple forum-goers that apparently got preorders, but it sounds like there's stock somewhere and I'm not seeing it.

    Power Supply 240-360mVp-p Ripple and Noise in desired 12v ATX power supply

    This is the power supply in question. As you can see, ripple ranges from 240-320, and ripple noise from 300-360. Before I start, I'm running a Radeon RX 570 (150W) and a 3300X (65W) on a B450I (35W), so the system total clocks in around 260W, giving it decent 300W headroom. As I understand it...

    Power Supply A Guide to 12V PSU

    Hey! Planning to use a MeanWell EPP-300-12 in my build after reading this thread! I am worried because it's an open frame PSU, which I've been told time and again is A Bad Thing. My main concerns regard caging or leaving the PSU bare: specifically worried about RF, short circuits, and heat...

    Power Supply AC/DC PSU with 600W @ 12V on a ~2x8“ footprint? Help!

    Internal, AC/DC, not HDPlex, etc. Should have clarified that bit, but I'd meant similar to the scope of the OP.

    Power Supply AC/DC PSU with 600W @ 12V on a ~2x8“ footprint? Help!

    Hate to necro, but I've been scouring the internet far and wide for a 300w+ PSU with dimensions roughly 54x40 under 170mm length. Super curious if you could point me at whatcha seen~

    Concept Project: The Smallest (gaming PC that theHACK can design and build)

    Really keen on this, had conceptualized a similar build (down to the same CPU) but found no cases that quite fit the profile. Internal PSU, full profile GPU, sandwich style, lowest total volume. Keeping an eye on this thread!

    That is some lovely wood furniture. Obviously the comp, too, but dang. That is some lovely wood furniture.

    Getting Started

    Built rigs before, also replaced each individual part in several netbooks and miniature smartphones. But I've nary dipped a toe into the SFF world--didn't even realize there were likeminded people, let alone a community. SO I'm going to build a rig (nothing fancy). I'm not interested in a rough...
