    SFF.Network MSI Announces New “SLIM” Series of GPUs That Are Still Quite Large for SFF

    *vine boom on each incompatible case in the list* shame, now that nvidia has normalised fat cards and AIB partners are now calling this "slim(med)". i'd say katana or bust, but realistically only the 4060 would be worth their while (another shame, remember the 1070 katana?)

    Discussion Power hungry systems and SFF cases

    i think the more bummers thing is that the upcoming/current(??) cards are allowed to chug more power as an when it's thermally allowed, and with Nvidia trying to one-up everyone (and their own existing 30-series stuff they're trying to sell out of) by making chonkier coolers, people who're...

    Why Bitwit should avoid SFF.

    i don't quite feel it's a fair conclusion or opinion to land on 😓 i mean he's still new to the more demanding importance of order of operations in small builds, but discouraging him like that would loosen his handle to the SFF world, and in turn we'd have one less voice to speak of at the very...

    Prototype SF-ATX Aluminum mainstream case (CX2 update)

    to me, the CX2 is a no-nonsense case i wouldn't have to disassemble when travelling. on the other hand, the SF-ATX looks to be flat-packed, so in the worst case where carrying this case by hand on long distances isn't possible, there's that option to pack it into any luggage i'd choose the CX2...

    Prototype Project Orthrus - Smallest SLI mATX case (V2)

    w360 mentioned there might be cards going 3.5 slots on the next generation. at its current state, only watercooling would be feasible, thus further increasing its niche if the orthrus goes 4 slot wide, there's probably not enough PCIe lanes to justify the lower deck (maybe a custom disk...

    Prototype SF-ATX Aluminum mainstream case (CX2 update)

    feet of some sort is required at that form, especially if the case is positioned on the face perpendicular to the base of the GPU (the IO shield slot fingers are poking through)

    Accessory Portable LCD monitors for work and gaming, recommendations?

    yeah the handful of reviews are kinda bit too positive on amazon 😓 i don't know if it's worth dumping lots of curiosity money (also i could use that gamut, my current one has a pretty bad red range

    Accessory Portable LCD monitors for work and gaming, recommendations?

    how's everyone's thoughts on the magedok M140A 100% ARGB display? i'm hoping it's not something that sounds too good to be true 😓 (also anyone tried ordering from their shopify page to the UK?)
