.... and now Galax has a model as well Looks quite spiffy with the all-white design but again 182mm long so... impossible to fit in many cases.

Chiphell has more info on the Asus card it seems. The website is in Chinese but the pictures also reveal interesting info. I still fail to understand why they made such a long LP card. Barely any cases it fits in.

It's truly baffling Dell put the PCIe 16x slot in the bottom position. Every other motherboard puts the fastest PCIe slot closest to the CPU for better signal integrity. Truly the only reason to do it this way is to deter people from installing the A2000 and similar cards... I guess it would...

I think you would have to remove the top of the HDPlex casing for this to work. If you just do it like in the pictures, the air gets completely trapped between the fans and the casing of the PSU with nowhere else to go. But an interesting idea! Wonder if with active cooling blowing directly over...

Thermalright is absolutely killing it with their price/performance. I still can't believe that my AXP120-67 actually outperforms my previous Noctua L12S that cost twice as much. Sure it feels less "premium" but even if the fan would die prematurely I can replace it with a Noctua 120mm and still...

I don't think the RX6400 makes any sense anymore compared to the ARC A380 and A310. Intel drivers have improved greatly and Arc now just offers better value there. Maybe RX6400 is close to being discontinued.

I doubt it. Revoccases did a limited run of 10 cases and none of them went to anyone with a YouTube channel, just people on the forum :)

Holy... so this thing could fit an MSI 4070Ti Super in only 5.7l? That is insane!

It took way longer than expected (had to RMA my motherboard at some point, but my build in this case is finally in a state I feel I can share it here. Custom length HDPLex cables thanks to @robbee. The 24-pin bends right between the two fans so it doesn't interfere. Routed the GPU cable...

Dude, you being you, just design a custom case for that board 😬

Yeah it's strange there are quite a few relatively short dual fan models, but those are 2,5 slots or more... A 2 slot, triple fan model would have made more sense for compatibility with sandwich style cases. I don't see any cases where these short but thick cards would be a good fit.

The ASRock Low Profile Arc A380 only scores 4000 TimeSpy according to ETA Prime's video (probably because of TDP limit). It's definitely better value than the RTX 3050 at current pricing but overall I think it will really struggle in modern games even at low settings. (DLSS truly is a game...

Interesting to see so many options. That Zotac looks exactly like the same shroud and heatsink I had on my GTX 1050Ti back in the day... Gigabyte probably offering the best cooling with that heatpipe. Anyone have an idea how this would compare to an Intel Arc A380? Haven't seen reviews with new...

Depends on the workload? It will get hot when all components are running at full power, but if you are playing a game at 60-ish fps, the 3600X won't be maxed out and your total system load should stay well below 200W.

Yeah these LP "3050"s would be cool for mayybe 150EUR max but when it's close to 200EUR just get a used RTX A2000 in stead... 30% more performance for the same price.
