Maybe they're trying to get you to buy a meal kit? I dunno.

Except the board needs a thunderbolt 3 header.

it doesn't need one now, check the post o_o

I learned from @karatekid430 jumping pin 3 and 5 can keep the GC-Titan-Ridge AIC awake at boot. This way the system can hot-detect Thunderbolt devices in Windows. It's not fully functional as hot-plug though. I need to warm boot for the eGPU to start working. The crucial piece of software is Intel Thunderbolt Software. I installed version [17.4.77.400] from Gigabyte support website.

For people who dont fancy reading it, this is the pertinent part

So, basically, the TB3 header on the card needs to be jumped, and it works? Hmmm... I may try that in my next build.

Hey Noctua it's still Q1 so don't worry you still have time to release new fans

BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YO PROMISE

#theyareus NZ is better than this. We are all better than this. Fuck these extremist dirtbags. No matter what race, creed or whatever, this bullshit will not stand. We are one big family in NZ, no matter where you are from.

A left-angle C14 inlet cable from Lian Li. Um, yeah...I guess I'm going to hit it with some heat shrink.

gear acquisition syndrome* EP 79:

one of this:

or four of these?

I know this doesn't interface via DDR, but 4 of these is cheaper than the 5.25" bay thing.
also could make a SATA backplane for these (or just stack these somehow) and keep a super small volume outline

EDIT: derp, typo. the one at the top is 3.5", not 5.25"

Depending on how tall the caps on the DIMM-style ones are, they ought to be reasonably stackable. Mounting suggestion: space two (or four, for stability, two per side) long screws through a case side panel to fit the notches on each side of the "DIMM". Screws must obviously be thin enough to fit into the notches. Use nuts to space the boards appropriately along the length of the screws. Make a custom SATA power cable to power all four, and ideally four of SilverStone's thin SATA cables. Ought to make a pretty dense storage array.

you freaking read my mind, LOL

yeah a system made up of M.2 SATA sticks will put the storinators to shame, LOL

Why not? I'm all for minimalism, but not everything needs to be a dull black box, after all.
