Yeah actually after typing that response I realized what my issue was... I had both fan curve and thermal limit at stock... and apparently even if you come within 15C of thermal limit, the card already starts throttling just in case... My best score with stock fan curve and case closed: 5997...

Very interesting information, thanks! My curve currently looks like this But during the benchmark it never exceeds 1250 MHz or so... keep in mind I am running with a 97% power limit because my PSU is still causing occasional shutdowns at 100% (a beefier one is on the way from China...)...

I spent quite some time searching for information online about shunt modding but... it's hard to get some real conclusive answers and fully understand the consequences. Some people add a 5 mOhm resistor only to the top shunt, others do it on both. Other people claim that is "too much" and in...

Such a great project! Repurposing PSU-space for an RTX A2000 is so ingenious. Very creative thinking for mounting it as well. How is the IS-40X? I assume that is close to max height for a cooler in this case. Looking at the space between motherboard and front of the case... would an HDPlex GaN...

Nice! So you added those cables yourself, yes? I guess the pictures on the AliExpress listing are wrong then? Because yours clearly has the 3 big caps like the mining version has where as the pictures of the non-mining version look like they are from the "380W version" that Revoccases shared...

That's interesting! I also noticed the 300W version on their website has a PCIe 8pin cable coming out of it! I do not see this present in any of the AliExpress listings, but worst case, soldering such a cable should be within my soldering capabilities. Edit: Looking at the specs of that 380W it...

What is power draw like with such a shunt mod? I would be afraid to fry my motherboard... I've also seen people solder a cable to the shunt and then attach a PCIe 6 pin that way. I assume that then evenly spreads the load between the motherboard slot and the extra cable? (i.e. if you are drawing...

Hmmmm now I'm curious and kind of want to order one just to compare it... Also curious if those empty holes on the PCB could be used to add a 6-pin PCIe cable. I also found this one which is also produced by IOASPOW but the PCB design is slightly different (wider and bigger caps?) and in this...

You are probably right but I try to stay optimistic 😁 The die is only slightly bigger (295mm2 vs 275mm2) and knowing NVidia they will cheap out by recycling as many components as they can...

Sweet! Instabuy for me :) It will be curious to see if this mod is compatible with the RTX 4000 SFF, however I could not find any PCB pictures of it yet...

The 5700G has a configurable TDP out of the box. You can basically put it in 45W mode with a single switch on the BIOS (I think even on A-series motherboard but not sure about it) Other than that, what you describe is exactly what you can do with PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) You can limit the...

Thanks! I haven't had time for fine tuning yet but I am really looking forward to seeing how much performance I can squeeze out of the CPU at 40W (which would allow full GPU and CPU load with the current PSU). Also really curious to see if I can get the boost clocks equal to the 5700G. Purely...

In your case, it sounds ike the 120W brick could be the main culprit? Just GPU and CPU are already 115W combined. Add all other components and you are probably looking at 130W total system consumption under max load. Depending on how recent you are looking to go, I think the Ryzen 5500 or the...

I finally had some time to continue with this project. I still had super-occasional reboots, but disabling CPB in BIOS as suggested fixed this. However, without CPB you are also stuck at 3.6 GHz, basically making the CPU 20% slower... Efficiency is crazy though, all-core Cinebench with CPB off...

It is a hard riser that came with the case, made by J-Hack. Should be good for PCIe Gen4 but the motherboard and CPU are Gen 3 anyway. Update time: I decided to risk buying that Inter-Tech 200W PSU (10A on the 12V rail). It was quite affordable and came from a reputable vendor with good return...
