Nice! The anticipation is killing me ?, mine seems to have shipped on the 26th but the cargo plane to Japan only just left today, looks like I'm not getting it till next year.

I really dig that Sunmilo steel forest so I'm really looking forward to how the SV540 will turn out. A monolithic tower similar to the Sunmilo but with rad support sounds amazing. For me, the smaller the case's width and depth can be made the better; Space for a 310mm 2.5 slot gpu, SFX-L power...

In general, if your using the 645 then have both fans as intake.

The case fits up to 45mm thick GPUs so I'd wager the answer is probably no. If you manage to squeeze it in there I'd expect bulging and some fan turbulence ?.

Anyone have crucial ballistix elite memory and the Asetek 645LT? Seems like it would just fit if I route the tubing over the memory, but only just. (Trying to avoid side panel bulge)

That's unfortunate, I hope you can get things working soon. I wouldn't blacklist AMD because of some issues though, I've had plenty of issues with Intel systems but my AMD build was painless. New builds could go either way really; Always something to RMA, always something that doesn't work out...

Any of the 65watt AMD CPUs will be completely fine. Though if you're using a 120mm fan with the black ridge then everything but perhaps the 12+ core CPUs should also be ok.

A fan guard would also help but things are already looking tight in there eh.

While I can't confirm at the moment, if you can mount it with the radiator's connectors on the CPU side rather than the front panel side then it might give you enough slack to clear the ram one way or another. ?

@Analogue Blacksheep Dondan said he was able to replace the entire top half of the heatsink with a noctua A4x20 fan using a 10mm M2.5 standoff and reusing the included chipset screws. He said you could also pull it off with spacers. I might try it myself with a bunch of washers, I suspect it's...

@weebuns I doubt it would take months but yeah it would be a lot faster to go to a retail store and get the update done for you or buy an athlon. Here's AMD official explanation regarding upgrade kits: Bit of a run around but I like that they do offer the support.

AMD will ship a basic CPU to you for the purposes of updating the BIOS if you want. It's free too, I'm just not aware of the actual process of applying for it...

Dan mentioned it earlier but because the internal USB header is USB 3.0 and the because of the type of header it is the front USB connector doesn't pay nice with certain USB C devices. For the CPU temps I think it's just a bad mount, remount the heatsink and see if that helps.

Hmm I'd say it makes its presence known if the rest of your computer is fairly quiet, especially when it's doing ~6000rpm. I'd imagine some people would tune it out quickly but it drove me nuts ?. That said with the latest bios noise became a none issue as you can now set it to silent mode and...

It's mainly for the m.2 drive, though they list it as the PCH fan in the bios. The advantage might be that if your raiding pcie 4 NVME drives they won't try to go thermonuclear on you, but I feel like that is debatable.
