Do you think it might help if, in my request, I wrote that these models are needed for professional work, and use my official university credentials etc? Or, do they only target consumer markets, and we need to look for 'professional grade' motherboard supplier if we wanted CAD models. We got...

Thank you, very interesting!

Now, since you have 2.5mm holes you can probably just do it by hand with the tool below, if you do not need a professional quality countersink, but just want to bring the scew below the surface. If you have a small endmill, you can use an endmill and make a square well around the hole. With...

I use both acrylic and polycarb in building biophysics instruments. Polycarb is softer and (therefore) less brittle, also polycarb is easier to drill (less cracking). Laser and water-jet are preferred for cutting both. To drill holes (especially large ones, >6 mm), I use special bits...

I have read this very helpful thread on fan mods of FLEX ATX PSUs, and I am thinking to replace the stock 40mm fan with a much larger, centrifugal fan, rather than top-mount. In your experience, which FLEX ATX PSUs in the 350W+ range is most permissive to modding (solid build, screws rather than...

I am considering to get this particular mini-ITX, and I wonder if Gigabyte can provide the CAD file for modelling. It would be very useful to play with different arrangements, cables, etc. Obviously, there are some excellent CAD models of mini-ITX cards on grabcad (for example the one below)...

>>>Even if it exists, another problem is that you will need a pair of different height because, if both adapters turn 90-degree at the same height, the 2 memory sticks will have conflict. Indeed, and I remember seeing a right-handed and a left-handed version of the adapter... for DDR3 only, not...

Sounds epic! My soldering skills are way below being comfortable to solder 288 connectors. Normally I am game to ruin an expensive piece of electronics. Did this most recently with a 1K diode chip, and that involved soldering only 2 connectors...

Thanks! Indeed it sounds like these connectors are more finicky than connecting a PCI express card via an adapter. SKinflint appears to know about the 18.75 mm height memory, and finds the following four products; one from Kingston and three from Crucial. One even seems to have 1 review as of...

Assuming one has only two memory slots (mini-ITX), are there right angle adapters which could be used to turn 288 pin DDR4 memory 90 degrees, and thus reduce the height, and gain enough space to use thicker/bigger non-stock fans on the CPU cooler? Would this expand the options for ram...

Many thanks for the tip on the Thermalight cooler. It did not come up in my searches, because, perhaps, I was looking for a much higher CFM (but of course CFM is not the only thing that matters). I wish cooler manufacturers stated clearly what wattage they are rated at. I was about to rig a...

Hi all, I am thrilled to have discovered this forum. I did a search for a i9-9900 here, and haven't found much, so I apologise if this has been discussed already. I have so far attempted only one SFF build (now I know the proper term), using a DIY scaffold of Aluminum T-profiles as a 'case'...
