Ok. The one I picked up (www.amazon.com/dp/B00CMR38LC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mK3RBbBD55R1D) did not come with any adhesive. I will have to try and figure out a solution when I get to that point.
Just another little tinkering thing to get the S4M how I want it. I also want to put a nf-a12x15 pwm...
Regarding the probe. How did you get it to stay where you wanted? Tape? Zip tie? I picked one up and I'm trying to get my mind around all aspects of this before I start taking things apart.
If you would be willing to go with the Fatal1ty B450, I have a brand new one I'd let go of for a good price.
(Mods, if that isn't kosher here, please delete this post.)
Regarding the L9a with the 120x15 fan on the skybracket. Those Noctua 120 low profile fans are next to impossible to find at a reasonable price. I ended up buying a NH-L12S for the fan.
Interesting. I will definitely keep this in mind. I picked up a used zotac 1080 mini off ebay for about a hundred dollars less than new. One of the few I could find with a 30 day return option.
Apparently the zotac 1070 ti mini also has the 37% minimum fan speed...
Huh. I picked up a LA330PM160 from eBay. Hopefully it's not a fake. No way to know until the system is built. I don't like the idea of getting one from Dell directly and it not being a LA330PM160.
Have you done this? If so, did you use the skybracket duo? I feel like I've heard mounting the fans with the bracket offsets them from the heat sink. I guess some centered holes could be drilled into the frame of the Skyreach 4 Mini.
Can the shroud be removed properly without taking off the heat sink as well? Drew Duncan's review says it's not possible to take off the shroud without also taking off the heat sink.
Regarding the cpu cooler, I think I'll end up going with the 120 low profile fan on the skybracket over the L9a...
