I recently finished a high-performance ITX build featuring the Intel Ultra 7 265, powered by a 350W direct-plug DC-ATX board and an external 330W GaN power brick. To push the limits of portability, I compressed the chassis thickness to 108mm, with plans to further shave it down to 90mm...

I appreciate the skepticism—it forces us to look closer at the actual engineering trade-offs. Here is why I believe the transition to a 48V-based modular system actually yields a smaller and more efficient build in the long run: 1. The GaN Revolution and Power SharingExternal GaN (Gallium...

I appreciate your detailed and professional critique. It’s through these kinds of deep dives and disagreements that we actually find paths to progress. I’d like to share my logic on why I believe 48V and modularity are the future, addressing your points one by one. 1. On 48V and Transmission...

The DC-ATX power boards you're using are currently the smallest customizable options available. They usually take a 12V input, though there are wide-voltage versions like 12V-24V. But what are you using for the external power brick? Also, if the GPU is still plugged directly into the...

While it's true that 48V adapters designed specifically for PCs are still rare, they are far from non-existent. High-quality 48V units already exist in the pro-audio and industrial sectors. In fact, there is already a 300W 48V GaN adapter (from brands like Chenxutong) that proves high-density...

Hi, thank you so much for the heads-up and for helping me translate the post! I am really sorry for the inconvenience. It was completely accidental—I actually pasted the content in English, but my browser's auto-translate feature unexpectedly translated the text inside the editor box into...

各位SFF社区的朋友们，大家好！我来自法国。和你们中的许多人一样，过去两个月我一直在计划组装一台高性能的扁平式ITX主机，主板是华硕ROG STRIX B860-I，处理器是英特尔Ultra 7 265。虽然定制的木质面板机箱已经基本成型，但我遇到了SFF主机最大的难题：笨重的24针ATX电源线。 现在是 2026 年，埃隆·马斯克正在推动汽车采用 48V 架构以减轻重量和节省空间，而我们的 PC 行业仍然停留在几十年前设计的 24 根电线的捆绑式架构中。 问题：...

Hi everyone! I’m a DIY enthusiast based en France. My approach to SFF isn't defined by a single material or style, but by a relentless pursuit of maximum efficiency, simplicity, and extreme miniaturization. Currently, I’m building a high-performance modular system around an ASUS ROG STRIX...
