    Asetek 645LT pump noise

    I love my A4 v4.1 build (even managed to snag a Gigabyte 3070 Eagle to fit in there!), but there's one thing that keeps it from being perfect. The pump noise from the Asetek 645 LT. This is recorded right in front of the right side of the case, with mouse clicks for reference. Whooshing from...

    Powering Up A Build

    Hi! I recently got my V4 shipped to me, and a couple of days ago I got enough parts to get it going, so it's started up and its beautiful, and so compact it makes everyone visiting question if it's an external GPU. However, due to stock issues I've yet to acquire a few very important parts...

    Cooling Would anyone else be interested in an Industrial PPC version of the Noctua NF-A12x15?

    I asked Noctua about doing an Industrial PPC version of the **NF-A12x15** [this fan right here] with a slightly higher RPM (2200 or 2400), for even more airflow, at higher static pressure specifically for small form factor cases where airflow is already restricted, but maybe there isn't a...

    looking for a cooler for a FCPGA988 (mobile) CPU in an S4

    I took the CPU out of my laptop and got a desktop motherboard that takes a mobile CPU and mobile RAM.

    Feedback on first sff build

    Hi I'm coming from an matx build. I never liked ATX towers but after using matx for a bit, I find it is still too large for my tastes. In addition, I find as I use my rig more and more I care less and less about the internal aesthetics (lighting mostly) and care more for small, portable and...

    Do AIO Cooling options improve when no graphics card?

    I'm planning no graphics card, but every example I've found has a graphics card (long or short) in their A4-SFX case. I would like to know if that unused space will enable me to comfortably fit an All-In-One CPU cooler, perhaps with a dual fan radiator? Eg: the Corsair H100i? (This build is...
