Thought I’d post a little update since I’ve now got this in a custom loop with the Bykski block. My overclock in WattMan: +50% Power Limit GPU State 7: 1622 MHz / 1070 mV Memory: 950 MHz / 900 mV I’m pretty sure it’s got more to give but this has been super solid. The stock cooler is ‘ok’ but...

Yup, you need 2x 8pin. I’m running a Corsair SF600 - 400w might be a little tight IMO. The card can easily get to 200W (Wattman figures) under full load with the power limit maxed. Z

It's pretty horrible atm haha It's is entirely the wrong setup for air cooling so depending on the game it may hit the thermal limit that's set (SW:BF2 1440p Ultra) or not (Elite: Dangerous VR Ultra). Haven't played too much with the HBM just yet, that's 100Mhz above stock and 50mv UV to start...

No difference afaik, I'll probably try a Vega 64 bios at some point (with water) to get a higher ceiling. So far though it's responded really well. Z

Here ya go :) I just got my Sapphire Pulse last week, this is what I'm running with the stock cooler so far: Still a WIP. Some more good (if slightly old) info: https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3020-amd-rx-vega-56-review-undervoltage-hbm-vs-core Z

EK have announced some 'Slim Series' kits.. "Designed for smaller cases with slim radiator in mind, the S kits are a great choice for every liquid cooling beginner and people doing small and mini ITX builds." Sweet. https://www.ekwb.com/news/ek-is-releasing-new-slim-series-kits/ Z

Glad to help! Hopefully this thread can save some people some time finding parts suitable for SSF builds :) One of the other options I was looking at was a CPU block/pump/res combos. Depending on your needs, these may be useful too... - Alphacool/Coolermaster Ersberg solo (These seem to be a...

Squeezing as much power as you can into a SFF case can, as you all know, be quite a challenge. Cooling all that hardware *and* keeping it quiet is (arguably) even more challenging. One thing I really want to attack in a future incarnation of my toaster games rig is water-cooling. In fact, my...

Thank you! I'll see if I can get some slightly better photos to show what it *actually* looks like. It's CAM from NZXT: https://camwebapp.com Thanks! Once I marked out where the hole needed to be I drilled holes to 'rough it' in. I was going to use a small cutting blade (air grinder) but the...

It's been a little white since I've posted an update..had some time over the weekend so I got to work on this part of my remaining todo list: So, here we go! I *really* didn't want to have to pull the whole machine apart, thankfully the outside panels can be removed and you can leave most...

I think my credit card just burst into flames :eek:

I've never played EVE and I've heard conflicting opinions about if it's more to less of a time sink. Regardless, it is a time sink. The galaxy is absolutely enormous! I'm loving doing exactly that. Trading my way though batches of systems, exploring and getting more understanding of what each...

Discovered this Elite: Dangerous by accident: https://www.elitedangerous.com/ If anyone needs me I'll be hauling cargo in my Cobra XD See you in out there, Commanders!

Thank you! I'm as surprised as you! I'll update the gaming temps a bit later tonight for completeness..but so far it's had no real trouble dealing with anything I've thrown at it. I like the ring lit ones, but I already had this one :) Are you talking about the Termaltake ones? Yeah, with the...

Finally, last weekend, I had some time to sit down and execute part 1 of the transplant into the Metis! *happy dance* :thumb: Side panel off, with the SX500-LG installed: That's a pretty small tiny PSU (compared to the AX 760i) - still looks big inside this case! My vent mod, behind the PSU...
