PCIe 4.0: 300W of slot power (or not) and double the bandwidth!
August 25 Update: Tom’s Hardware was told incorrectly and they’ve updated their article. The maximum slot power will continue to be 75W as it is currently with PCIe 3.0 but the total allowed power could maybe increase. The extra wattage will still come from PCIe power connectors on the card like it is today. Tom’s …
Convert Your NH-U12S or NH-U14S to Rotate 90 Degrees
In my review of the NH-U12S, I made mention of the weirdness surround Noctua’s decision to change the mounting system on the U12S and U14S coolers. It seemed odd to me to design an entirely new mounting system to rotate the cooler 90 degrees, but not make it compatible with other products in Noctua’s lineup. …
Noctua’s NH-U14S – Not As Large as the NH-D15
While we are a community formed around the idea of small, space-efficient designs, once again, a bigger cooler may be the best option for your build, be it for performance or to ensure low noise levels.

BIOSTAR Announces the RACING B150GTN Mini-ITX Motherboard
BIOSTAR announced yesterday their new RACING B150GTN Mini-ITX motherboard. As far as I can tell, it’s a variant of the H170GTN board that was shown at Computex earlier this year. The only differences I see at a glance is of course the Intel B150 chipset instead of H170, there is no slot for a wireless …
SFF Network Celebrates Our First Birthday!
Hey all, A little over a year ago, a stranger with a funny accent approached James and I… No, wait, that doesn’t sound quite right. Just over 26 fortnights ago, a foreign national emailed us about a unique business opportunity… Bleh, I’m never any good at these fuzzy-feely things. Anyhow, it really was a year ago …
