    Concept Boreas | Low profile case with wooden and brass accents

    Hey there! Between milling A2000 heatsinks and printing Yocto cases, I've been designing a new case that may come to life soon. Meet Boreas, a traditional layout case for low profile GPU's. Boreas has been inspired by Fractal Designs North case and @REVOCCASES N0RDR1, meaning it uses the same...

    Custom heatsink for the RTX A2000

    Hey everyone! The RTX A2000 is a great little card, but its noise botters me. The fan runs at a minimum of 3000 RPM and this is not inaudible at all. Especially after ramping down after load, it tends to remain louder than I would like. Previous AIB low profile cards like the 1050ti and 1650...

    Log Talos - a new living room-proof computer

    With the new year, the time has come for a new case. And with a new case comes a new build log of course. This time, I will not be building my personal computer but will instead build a new enclosure for my HTPC, which currently resides in my Mikros enclosure. Being an HTPC, it has a couple of...

    GPU How is a GPU's height measured?

    So I got a 3080 TUF OC and the specified dimensions got me super confused. Its height is supposed to be 126.9mm but when I measure it, it's a lot higher. I'm starting to think that they forgot to include the part that protrudes at the bottom right of the card. I'm also not quite sure where to...

    Prototype BASALT - a 9L vertical case that supports long 3 slot graphics card

    Hello everyone, I want to present a new concept that I've been working on. It builds on the awesome work of @Colinreay MK2 that he was so nice to open source. I initially wanted to build his exact case, but the lack of larger graphics card support bothered me a bit, especially after the latest...

    Concept Needle - small footprint, fully watercooled build at 7L

    Hello there! I've been drawing and tinkering on a new build for the last couple of weeks and I feel like I finally have something to show you guys! The idea is to build a completely watercooled PC that can house a reference size GPU of current gen (Navi & Turing) and make the footprint as tiny...

    Concept Mosquito - Bent plywood sandwich case

    After my first Stoomdoos custom case and the Mikros followup, I'm ready for my third custom build. This one will be a crossover between the two: a 3D printed core with a bent plywood bezel. It takes the design language of the Mikros but spices things up with some more interesting materials...

    Dynamo mini availability

    @Kmpkt any word on when the Dynamo mini will be in stock again? It has been out of stock for a couple of months and I've been waiting on one to start my new build. Cheers!

    Bitcoin and other Crypto Currency discussion thread

    The bitcoin bubble might burst at some point (or suffer heavy correction), but the crypto hype is here to stay. People are always looking for easy profit investments. As one coin collapses, 3 others will rise to take its place... Mod-edit: broke the discussion off to a seperate topic, when it...

    GPU Looking for exact measurements for the 1060/1070 Aero ITX

    I'm looking at the HG Osmi as next case paired with the 1070 aero ITX. The Osmi has a 170mm gpu limit and I'm not sure if the Aero will fit, as it's listed at 175mm. Can anyone who owns this card help me out and see if that includes the PCI bracket or not? I'm looking for the measurements of...

    Power Supply Implications of products without CE label

    I'm considering a PSU like the G-unique, but I'm not sure what the implication of a product without CE or similar certification might be. Should there happen something and, for instance, my house got burned to the ground, would my insurance company refuse a claim due to the missing certificate...

    Frankensteining an Accelero S2 gpu cooler for a low profile GPU

    Hi there! For my Stoomboot project, I used a low profile MSI gtx 1050ti. The cooling is mediocre to say at least. The noisy fans were replaced by 80mm fans but the temperatures still got up to a point where I wasn't comfortable with them anymore. 85°C might be within spec but I wanted to lower...

    GPU Question for Galax or KFA low profile gpu owners

    Howdy! Galax uses a pretty exotic mounting pattern for their low profile coolers. Could anyone who owns such card help me out and give me the dimensions of the mounting pattern? Thanks!

    GPU Low profile RX 460 with single slot bracket

    MSI done it again, this time with the AMD RX 460: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-460-2GT-LP.html#hero-specification The fan shroud does look a bit different this time. No DP is a bummer, but at least it's hdmi 2.0.

    Cooling Fan intake clearance

    Howdy! I've recently purchased the Noctua NH-L12 as cpu cooler. I was planning on using in its as single fan mode, where they advise on mounting the 92mm fan bellow the heatsink. I noticed now that I can also mount the 120mm fan below the heatsink, due to my low-profile memory. The clearance...

    Custom motherboard standoffs

    Hi there, For a project I'm doing, I need motherboard standoffs (spacer bolts i think is the right word) with a height of 20mm. I've found a lot of those already: Problem is, the bolt part that's 6mm long in the picture, needs to be shorter (about 4mm max). Does anyone know where to get it...
