    Completed N0RDR1 Nano EVO - optimized for RTX 4060 Low Profile & HDPLEX GaN

    Just waiting on a power button but more or less completed and cable managed. Stock HDPlex 250W GaN power cables worked fine. Ryzen 7900 so the NH-L9x65 is perfectly fine. With the front fans set up as intake the CPU temps under load hovering around 73°C. And that's with the CPU fan as either...

    Completed N0RDR1 Nano EVO - optimized for RTX 4060 Low Profile & HDPLEX GaN

    Yea - both those configs makes a lot of sense. The NH-L12 seems like the best bet but I'm running the ASUS X670E-I with ridiculous heatsinks everywhere. And Noctua's compatibility guide says it's not compatible. I have an old NH-L9x65 coolers that I'll probably use. Will try as intake and...

    Completed N0RDR1 Nano EVO - optimized for RTX 4060 Low Profile & HDPLEX GaN

    Custom HDPlex cables | n3rdware Also while waiting on some final components, it looks like a 2.5" drive really shouldn't be a problem with an HDPlex: Has anyone given much thought to the front fans being intake vs exhaust? My gut tells me that exhaust will perform better but the fans are...

    Completed N0RDR1 Nano EVO - optimized for RTX 4060 Low Profile & HDPLEX GaN

    yea... I found the same thing... I'll definitely be giving this a shot! and where's the fun in SFF without some adventures in cable management... 😅

    Completed N0RDR1 Nano EVO - optimized for RTX 4060 Low Profile & HDPLEX GaN

    Any one have any ideas for 2.5" drive mounting? Maybe to the vent holes above the rear power button? I know everyone's moved over the m.2 but I'm clinging to a u.2 optane still...

    Production M2426 - Evolution in Cable Management

    Just noticed that the product page for the CPU power cable here says that it can deliver up to 100W with GPU? Is that true or is it still limited to the 75W that's listed on main M2426 product page?

    Also not on TaoBao but the Velka 3 seems to meet all your criteria but has internal PSU.

    Here's a bit of a non-update update for now. Basically just a smattering of hardware pieces I've gotten but haven't yet or won't be putting into the build. I guess first up is the ADT Link PCIe gen 4 riser cable that I ordered of AliExpress a while ago. They accidentely sent me the 20cm long...

    Log Ncase M1 build dual rad with 10GB SUCCESS!

    Just curious - why didn't the network card fit? GPU block not quite a single slot? Or radiator + fans take up too much room?

    Not sure how you feel about technically non-compliant Thunderbolt 3 solutions... but I've tested some short 6" TB3 extension cables from Amazon and they seem to work fine. Would clean up the back of the eGPU a little.

    Sounds like a plan! I would just make sure that your GPU block is a true single slot block then. Sometimes they're a little thicker and make things difficult to line up.

    Corsair SF 80+ Platinum Fan Mod/Swap

    No idea what the differences are between the fans - but I have seen less complaints about the fans on the Plat units. Risk is up to you. I personally have the SF750 Plat and replaced the fan. Not for any particular reason but just because I had an extra fan and I could
