Does anyone know which RTX 3080 cards can be "hotrodded" out of this case if I have the wraparound bezel removed? So far the only two models that looks like they'll work are the Founders Edition and the EVGA XC3. Everything else is more then 2 slot width or are significantly taller than the GPU...

I wouldn't get too excited for the 2070 Mini... the MSRP for all 2070's starts at $500, which means the mini will likely be about $550. But it only benches similar FPS to a 1080 right now. For the same $550 you can easily pick up a 1080ti Mini and get about a third more FPS. If you are...

Oh, sweet. Love his foresight. I don't see how it would be too challenging as far as design, the only difference I can see if the GPU is flipped is that the riser won't bear any load (the current design has the PCI bracket bearing probably 99% of the load, but the siliflex riser does at least...

Hey Josh, my S4M-C has been chugging along for years, but I've been coveting the S3 Mini's "flipped GPU" style, where the GPU fans are on the same side as the CPU fan. This is handy if you want to lay the PC flat on a desk, or if you want to strap it to your back (like those $3000 backpack...

Question for Josh when you have time: Assuming I'm using a G-Unique PSU inside a Skyreach Mini, would you know from your CAD models, approximately how many 18650 lithium-ion cells I could stuff inside the empty spaces at the top and side of the case, assuming I have a Zotac-size GPU in there...

Mine is a classic, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't fit the Skyreach. The Skyreach seems to include the same 120mm fan bracket overhanging the CPU, which can have the lips trimmed in order to hold a 140mm slim fan.

For people asking about the Cryorig C7 Cu, I have one and can confirm it is exact same dimensions as the non-copper. They both will fit in the S4, but if you want to create an air gap, you'll want to pop the 15mm attached fan off, and switch it with the 140x13mm Cryorig CR-XTA...

Anyone try out the new all-copper Cryorig C7? Cryorig is selling it directly on Amazon for $50: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BKYJDGM/?tag=theminutiae-20 I can buy one and test if no one else has yet.

That's an 8700k @ 4.6ghz on 6 cores at once, and anything that's not Prime95, including mining, seems to run at least 10c cooler than that. You really think the LP53 heatsink would run cooler with the same fan? If so I'll buy one to test out.

I went ahead and did this with a $50 Dynatron B6: Only way that I know of to get an all-copper, vapor-chamber cooler for the 115X socket. If anyone knows a better way I'm all ears.

Say, talking about the Dremel EZ Lock reminds me, any chance you might be able to eventually make a VESA quick-release mount? Something like a flat plate that would have some pegs that fit into the Skyslots, and maybe a center twist-lock thing to fix it in place. Or otherwise just something...

Oh, if anyone was wondering whether EVGA 1080ti SC2 fits the S4M-C through the GPU slot (i.e. with no bezel installed), I just tried it and it is an exact fit, even with that black plastic bar that runs along it: It takes a little wiggling but it'll pop into place. Runs much much quieter and...

I wanted to do a quick shout-out to Silicon Lottery, I bought an 8700k on eBay and mailed it directly to them to delid for me, they turned it around real fast and re-sealed it to look like factory. The temps were astonishing, 70c at 100% CPU on all 12 threads with my modded Dynatron 1U vapor...

If you click the link on my last post I put a picture up of the 12 pin that Guryhwa showed me. You can see on my melted jack that the PCB is identical to the 12-pin, it has 4 unused holes so that either an 8 or 12 pin could be mounted.

Case is perfectly fine, melting was entirely localized to the plug and jack. Glad I have my case up on a VESA mount, makes it easy to visually notice issues. Someone in the other thread says that Guryhwa is already insisting that people order the 12-pin version of the jack when they're using a...
