    News Gigabyte X570SI AORUS Pro AX

    What improvement does this have over their B550i ? New USB header, Gen 4 m.2 on the back and maybe better VRMs?

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    I've fallen out the game for a while. But just to check will this work? https://www.box.co.uk/MTA18ADF2G72AZ-3G2E1-Micron-DDR4-3200MHz-16GB-(1x16GB)-ECC-Un_3201408.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8IaGBhCHARIsAGIRRYoald-qlm24AzkUL8Jz5p_EpM6gCduFJnHfpRNgnlK0KDtkgtsDeWoaAsA1EALw_wcB

    CPU Black Ridge V2 AM4 Mounting Force?

    I did but you need to cut it down a bit and drill out the threads on the backplate before you can use it. Otherwise just buy a generic am4 backplate.

    CPU Black Ridge V2 AM4 Mounting Force?

    I ended up using a backplate when fitting mine as I too noticed my motherboard bending a lot, even though there was very little resistance to the when screwing the screws in.

    Yeh, I agree. Also not getting everything at the same times means that you won't be able to test components when they arrive, e.g if something is dead on arrival and but you don't know, and it's been sitting on your shelf for 3 months, then you don't have the option to return it to the retailer...

    For people with a Velka 5 has anyone tried mounting the PSU with the fan facing inwards?

    I took some photos of the end result for a friend, no photos of it fitted unfortunately. I was going to make a full post about all the mods I had to make to the black ridge due to my "OCD" but I'm away on work for 2 weeks. Anyway you should have a general idea of what to do. 1. Saw / cut off the...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    I found this too with the black ridge, you can easily turn the screws to a point where the motherboard has completely bent without feeling any resistance. I'm sure I was half a turn away from cracking my motherboard when I realised. In the end I removed the cooler and modified original am4...

    @VELKASE Michael or anyone else know the size of the screws for the wires of the power button? I took the screws out to make installing the header for the power button easier, but I've somehow lost the screws :/

    Do you have a back plate? And have you checked that the riser cable behind the GPU is flat? I had to proper bend my cable quite a lot to make it sit flush with the back plate.

    So for those of you with motherboards with integrated I/O shield such as the Gigabyte x570 you might want to take note. As previously stated by some other people and @VELKASE Michael , these sorts of motherboards have compatibility issues. @DeXeD on page 38 managed to fit his in by removing the...
