    PPL - Performance Per Liter, Round 2!

    Nope. pure R7 2700 2700X is 105W TDP and can not be properly cooled by an NH-L9a. And was more expensive.

    PPL - Performance Per Liter, Round 2!

    How about we fork this in to a several different competitions: 1. FPS per liter. For gaming machines. Where not the number of cores but the "per core frequency" is important. 2. Storage and streaming capacity per liter. For NAS that can do streaming (Plex, Emby). There can be a lot of fun with...

    Prototype MT5: 5.4L Expandable case for mini GPUs

    I'm using 3d printed cases from PLA for the last 3 years. Your thermals depends on the case design. NOT case material. All components cooling is sufficient by OEM design. Case role is to keep components together and prevent foreign objects to get in to fans. Case design should not obstruct...

    Best offer from print service I got was $100. Once you have a printer it cost about $10 :)

    Thanks. Printing time depends on print quality, printer, material. Fine quality on my Cr-10 with PLA it took about 2 days. oops typo, Z270-i

    Production SteamTrain Overachiever: 70mm CPU cooler, Zotac mini, 600W PSU in 5.32L; 3D printable

    No, I do not plan to print and ship. For a number of reasons. You have a few other options: 1. Get a 3D printer. The case is designed to be printed on small cheap printer. There are printers with 220 x 220 build plate for less than $175. 2. Find a print service near you.

    Concept Untitled Project eGPU

    Here are a few thoughts: 1. A flashy thing like a GPU can be distracting that close to the user field of view. 2. Cooling. a. Make sure you have enough case cutout for GPU fan intake and the same size cutout for the exhaust. If the GPU is air-cooled as shown on the picture. b. Probably a...

    PPL - Performance Per Liter, Round 2!

    Yep L9a. You got it right. And the CPU is slightly overclocked. The L9a is not sufficient to keep it cool 24/7 at 100% load. On the other hand I use that PC only for gaming. Mostly. And occasional 3D design of a new PC case :). So the CPU load rarely goes above 50% for more than a couple of...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    A fsp400-60fggba is running a OC 1070 and a i7-7700K for over 2 years for me. No problem at all.

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    I have one of those. Actually exactly the same SKU. And it has both EPS and PCIe power connectors. Look for connector that is 6+2. If that does not help - send a picture of the connectors.
