Thanks for the comment dude. I ended up buying a Barrow cooler that apparently covers a few models, 2060/20701660ti. With the intention of modifying it. But it's just too different, it'd be a waste to even try modding it to fit. It looks like I'm going down the route of a universal copper block...

Bump?

Gigabyte make the 2060 and 2070 in 170mm variants

Hi all, I'm attempting my first watercooled system with a custom loop, in my second SFF build. I'm using a custom case with tight limits on GPU length; a lot of the 'small' RTX 20xx series cards I looked at, were all around 170mm in length which is scraping my width restriction. I managed to...

@Analogue Blacksheep Would you be willing to split the Dell brick and the HDplex? I'm looking for the pico but have a brick already

Yeah I wanted to keep the hinge mechanism on there so you could just pop the lid like a normal dreamcast...but space limitations got the better of that idea. And it's very quiet on idle and content consumption, it only really ramps up when gaming, where admittedly it gets quite loud. I messed...

As requested ? I didn't end up running the benchmark in the video, but there is a result

I'll do a quick walkaround, then show it running a benchmark. I dunno what's the standard these days, but superposition is a fun looking one and it's free. So I'll use that

Do it! There's a gamecube build on here, they're very cool. It was definitely best option, not that there were many... If the motherboard were facing upwards, it would be suffocated by the gpu. Looking at temperatures, in hindsight the gpu on the bottom and cpu on the top might have been...

I actually have an empty PS2 for this exact reason. When I have the money spare, I'd love to start work on it. The plan is AM4 and water cooled. Because with more room to play with, the only choice is to be more ambitious, right ? ? One day, but I have big plans for my car this summer so funds...

Cheers, that card was as good as I could go with such compromised ventilation. Pleased it works as well as it does tbh

Take another look at the specs in the first post, or the second post :)

@vithrell They're such a perfect combination aren't they? A chassis 20cm cubed would be more than you'd need for a pretty powerful build; That's the same floorplan as a Dreamcast, but with all that extra hight for internal AC-DC and better cooling. Inspiration wise? Way back when, @Aibohphobia...

@rfarmer haha it's cool, I'd love to build a silent system one day, but honestly acoustics aren't that high my my list of priorities. As long as a system isn't obtrusively loud, I don't need it to be silent either ??‍♂️ The original goal was a media PC, so mainly content consumption, with the...

@rfarmer yeah in hindsight that may have been a bad comparison ? Maybe I should have said, it's nowhere near as bad as a PS4
