S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

[kittysox]

Josh’s info makes a lot of sense as this noctua fan actually rests against the back of the pcb of my 1060.

Very easy with the SKYSLOTS(tm) by NFC-SYSTEMS(tm)

So you made it. Congrats(tm)

With a 3 hour loop of valley with xmp and mce enabled holding the cpu to 3.8-3.9ghz the highest core peaked at 72c and gpu never got over 65c. I think I’ll just run it, this was using the asus turbo fan profile but the thing is barely audible at all

Really pleased with how this turned out. So much easier than working with the hdplex 400

What PSU did you end up going with?

 

[kittysox]

The hdplex 160

Just received my Asrock x299e-itx/ac. This board looks absolutely stunning, but I am having a hard time finding any LGA 2066 40mm low profile fans that work with S4 MINI. Any suggestions? Thanks

@Josh | NFC any word on when the next batch of S4 Minis will go for pre-order?

I'd check out the Dynatron lineup personally. The R15 + Noctua AF9x14 would be 41mm

Thanks for the suggestions. I have ordered them on ebay, and I hope to post some pictures once my build is complete. Cheers!

@fpark12 make sure you have a power solution that has a -12V rail. @confusis noted that the board will not power up with that power rail missing. @iFreilicht mentioned in his FlexATX thread that there are some work-arounds by jumping -12V to ground or wiring up a custom -12V circuit, but whether you want to experiment with a $400 motherboard and $$$ processor is another question...

Look what a little birdy delivered to my front door! Careful now it’s wild!!!

 

[CC Ricers]

Can you tell me what the dimensions for that case are? I have not found any official specs on the NFC site...

 

[Reglar]

From the NFC website (look at the chassis in the shop menu):

Exterior Dimensions (mm): 330x215x63
Interior Dimensions (mm) 324x203x57.
Mini ITX motherboard support, and cooler heights of 40mm.

That's the S4. Not the S3

 

[ngriesdo]

I will post up the dimensions tomorrow morning for ya!

Sorry, remedial reading for the win...

No worries!

From my personally experience raiding last night in wow. The I5 8400 with mce and bclck100 will overwhelm the hdplex160. And it may have been the 235watt brick instead. However disabling mce alone was enough to curtail the hard shut down.

I was reading that the HDPLEX 160W peaks at ~200W, and pcpartpicker says peak output for this partlist (Ryzen 5 1400 and LP GTX 1050 Ti) is 201W. I was planning on doing a brickless build with an HDPLEX DC-ATX and AC-DC brick internally using the space created from a low profile GPU, but I was worried about the power consumption. Is 160W not enough? Should I just go for the 400W for upgradability?
