My S4 mini has not seen much use lately as I have been moving hardware around to some other builds. Earlier I have been using the Thermolab LP53 and the Noctua NH-L9i. Both the Thermolab and the Noctua have been re-purposed for different builds. I was thinking about what cpu cooler to get this...

Just wanted to say that I picked up the case today and it looks great! For some reason my local post office did not notify me about the case arriving before I got a second (and final) notice to pick up the package. I am looking forward to doing the build. This will be my main desktop rig as I...

What is the distance between the 2 cross braces?

If you are set on a 65w tdp cpu I would forget about a small case that acts as a heatsink. It it just to much heat to get rid of, and you would be better of some kind of well designed forced airflow. If you are willing to drop down to a 35w cpu you can have a look at this passive case: Akasa...

I have flashed a 1060 SC with no problem with the non-sc 1060 bios. It should take about 5 minutes. I have a 1440p monitor on my main rig and have used it there. However the power figures I gave you is from another computer also with a gtx 1060 but on 1080p. I will PM you the details on how to...

Have you tried flashing the bios with the non-sc version? I have a gtx 1060 reference clocked and a i7 3770 with both HT and turbo disabled and from the wall I am pulling 175W max more like 150-165W with the gpu power limited to 75% (90W). So I am positive I can see a difference to power draw...

So I have a samsung 850 evo ssd that I am planning on using with my upcoming s4 mini build. I was wondering if it would be possible to remove the ssd from its 2.5" case and mount it in the front inside of the case (where the hdplex is normally mounted). If so what would be the best way to attach...

People have been using GTX 1060 and 65W cpu with the PicoPSU and GTX 1070 and standard voltage cpu with the HDPLEX. So I would imagine that new sub 75W gpus should work well with either one of these PSU. As I understand some people have had problems with the Z4 ATX200 so the safest choice atm...

How does it compare to this one? Cheaper and more compact. A little weaker and plug needs changing. Probably higher effiency on the HEP model according to the datasheet.

Thank you! Somehow missed that one as it was listed as the evga sc on the list. I did manage to flash my bios successfully. The nvflash tool will however correctly report a PCI subsystem ID mismatch. Use this command to ignore it: nvflash -6 yourbiosfilename.rom However there is all ways a...

Great info! If you still have the gtx 1060 non-sc would you mind extracting the bios with gpu-z? I would like to see if I can flash my 1060 SC. Unfortunately it does not seem that anyone has uploaded the non-SC bios just yet. Link. The main benefit of the SC as you mention is the cooler, which...

That is interesting. 25 watts? Do you think it would be possible to flash the bios of the regular version on an SC card? Also what is the performance difference? Sorry, might be a little bit off-topic.

Just bought the Inno3d GTX 1060 Compact for my upcoming s4 mini build. I have the 1060 SC for my main build with a Arctic custom cooler. Since both the cards pcb boards supposedly are reference design I should be able to compare both the coolers on my new card. Might be able to slap on a better...

Looks like a nice build! I have a question about the fan mod on the SF600. I did it myself on my SF460 however I connected the fan directly to the motherboard and not to the psu pcb board. How did you connect yours? The fan is a 2pin fan and as far as I know it does follow a normal voltage...

Josh: Did you see a large difference in power draw between the EVGA 1060SC and 1060 regular version?
