    Possible RTX 4060 Ti Specs Surface – 160W, Small PCB

    Shit, I just looked up "A4000 cooler swap", people are doing some neat things there. What mod do you have in mind? I guess you'd remove the original fan to save length. I found a mod that does that, but the card including the new heat sink & fan ends up being 45 mm tall.

    Discussion 12V eGPU musings

    Thanks, that makes sense. I was only aware of Jeyi's TB3 to M.2 cases. Is there a product site? The information from link you posted is a bit hard to parse. Any thoughts on CFM260S vs CFM200M? I'm surprised the medically rated CFM200M has slightly higher ripple. Does 120 mV vs 150 mV ripple...

    @ermac318 Fair question, the answer is obviously size ;) The R43SG is a fairly big board for what it does, and the Dell DA-2 brick is absolutely humongous compared to the RPS-200 or the CFM260. I'm aiming at 2 to 2.5 L total, including the PSU. @REVOCCASES I might go with the dumb solution of...

    Discussion 12V eGPU musings

    Sorry for the brain dump, but I've been researching this for a while and hit a few dead ends where my judgement has reached its limits. In particular the Cincon looks almost too good to be true compared to the RPS-200, but I'm afraid it'll fry my GPU and burn my house down because there's...

    That's a very neat build, thanks for sharing the album. With 65W CPU + 75W GPU you'd exactly hit the 140W under convection cooling the RPS is rated for. How much was the total system consumption? Some 10 or 20W above that? Regarding the lack of PS_ON: I guess the PSU was simply always on and the...

    Hi SFF

    Hi SFF, I've been lurking on this forum, the reddit, and also the eGPU communities for a while. I wanted to share my SFF eGPU project and get some feedback from the SFF gurus here :)

    Discussion 12V eGPU musings

    I want to build a small external GPU with integrated power supply. It'll be based on the ADT-Link R43ML, which is a PCIE to M.2 extender, and the Jeyi ThunderDock, a Thunderbolt 3 to M.2/NVMe case. The GPU I will use is a PNY GTX 1660 Super, which draws 125W, but I'd like to leave a bit of...
