    CPU Under-clocked 8700k... Temperature vs Performance?

    So this will be my first build. I work in audio and have been interested in doing a build for a while now, so I can get better single-thread performance than Apple will provide.

    Trouble with my S4 Mini GTX 1080 build

    I just finished an S4 Mini build with the HDPLEX 400 - both very cool pieces of hardware. Unfortunately, I'm having a problem and hoping someone can provide some pointers. Everything runs fine until I start a benchmark (Heaven 4.0) or a game, even at medium/low settings. Then it immediately...

    For sell is my S4 Mini Classic the NFC riser, HDPLEX 400W and a DELL 330W. The case itself is in great shape (apart from one scratch which is nearly invisible), while the riser is not in such a great shape; the key has broken apart, but it should work if it is placed correctly according to Josh...

    Enclosure NFC S4 Mini alternatives

    Looks like the s4 mini isn't very available, and I'm having a hard time finding similar cases. Is it one of a kind or are there any other cases of the same size and layout out there?

    I just basically finished my S4 Mini build, and I'm running a i5 7600K, but it gets pretty hot under heavy load (Witcher 3 on Ultra settings) and it seems to be hitting around 75-80 degrees occasionally (auto boosting till around 4.4GHz), but it normally hovers around 63-68 degrees. I have a...

    NFC SILIFLEX Riser in a MC600

    I'm mostly-positive the answer is "no" based on what I've found, but I thought I'd reach out to the folks here and get a definitive answer. I'm planning a MC600 build and would like to track down the right riser. The NFC S4 Mini is nearly identical in size and has a custom riser from HDPlex...
