For those of you who have or have not yet worked directly with @Josh | NFC, I want to give Josh the shout out that he deserves. From day 1, he has by far been the most sincere, customer-centric individual I have ever met (virtually, at least). Over the past few months, I've ordered several...

Hmmm, on the Asus mobo with disabled MCE on an 8700, I noticed that the Asrock Z370 gaming ITX board auto OC's in silent mode (when needed during gaming) much cleaner (lower voltage) and higher speed (seen moments where it jumps to 4600mhz) than on the Asus Z370i. Figured if anyone was looking...

Standard noctua slim 92mm fan

Can confirm that the LP53 and Noctua fan zip tied is about 8-10C better temp wise while gaming (on an 8700) non delidded. Using an ASrock z370 gaming mini itx mobo and it can fit with fins parallel to the ram.

@Josh | NFC Huzzah, both are in! Looks and feels ultra premium, extremely nice craftsmanship!

Core i9-8950HK will be a godsend for the S4 Mini, with performance that looks better than a raw 8700, with far less TDP @ 45 watts??

@20legend I went through with Josh to get it faster, planning to ship the one I get from customs back to him

On another note, should have the case in tomorrow, and plan to have build logs/ pics posted in the next week. I purposefully went the route of investing in an Asrock z370 mini itx gaming mobo, paired with an i8700/ LP53 (oriented the right way). The final step would be to make sure It's...

@Craxas Of course that would happen haha, same here in terms of the update. @Josh | NFC is the man and extremely kind to help with this matter. Ended up going through him, and to me it's worth it since there's only so many days in the week that I'm able to put this build together. If you...

@20legend You're right mine is the same - didn't look at the bottom, all in the same boat

@20legend That is extremely odd, I just see "Inbound into Customs" still. I have no clue what the hold up cold be - hopefully just a random search?

@Craxas Any update on your shipment? Mine's still "going through customs" as of the 31st. I wish we knew what was up on that end since something is causing for this super slow process. I'm on the verge of losing it if it's not in by Thursday.

@Craxas same here mate! That’s great news haha, hopefully it’s outdated and that already happened and it’ll be at our doors no later than Saturday!

Lucky to finally know where it is at least - hoping it appears out of the blue this week, even though my shipping info has yet to change since the 17th when it was shipped

Yours went through JFK, yeah?
