hi sff community

any recommendations for a right angle connector for a sf750 to 7900xtx sapphire pulse?

Thanks!

What is the best AIO for the Dan H2O? I have the case and everything else for the build but I don’t know which AIO is the best for it. I’ve seen many builds with the EK basic but it seems as if that AIO is discontinued. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I am trying to switch my PC case to a sff case because I will be traveling around and I figured it's better to just bring the PC with me instead of it being left at home. It will also help me save money instead of buying a laptop which will be more expensive. I do own a portable monitor which I can also bring with me. Here is my current specs I figured that I might need to change the MOBO and the PSU I am not sure with the cooler if I can use it or not. Please help recommend me parts. Someone recommended me CoolerMaster NR200 because it can fit the cooler that I have. But if I have to change the CPU cooler as well that would be fine.

Thank you!

Sorry for bad English it is my second language

I have all parts installed in my Terra except a GPU which I haven’t ordered yet. I have a IS-55 cooler with a 25mm Noctua fan (total height 65mm, cooling a 7800x3D.

I was planning on getting the 4070ti super (dimensions 310x140x61 mm).

I wrongly assumed the 4070ti super would be the same width as the 4070 at 42 mm. Looking at the spine adjustment docs, for cards over 131 mm height, I cannot fit both a 65mm cooler and 61mm GPU.

I’ve seen Terra builds with the 4080 and 4090, which are roughly equivalent in size to the 4070ti super, and I’m hoping this sub can help me out. Will I have luck in my Terra or will I need to downside either the cooler or GPU?

EDIT: For 4080+IS-55 builds I’m finding (that shouldn’t fit according to the manual), what does the manual get wrong where they do fit?

I now have a Cooler Master v550 sfx gold (paid 90€ three years ago) that I would like to replace because it is noisy from the first assembly unfortunately.

I would like to avoid buying another CM psu if possible, but it seems there is not much other choice. Are there any other reliable brands?

I hear all the time that 1 expansion slot (usually for gpu on mini-itx) is a bad idea, I need more for other cards… Is this true?

(personally I don’t care, I’ll buy ASRock lighting b650i which has everything)

Hi, I’m making a budget mini itx build and I’m looking for a good cheap mobo for my build. I have 2 sticks of 8gb DDR4 ram that I’d like to reuse but I have no preference for AMD or Intel since I’m trying to get everything 2nd hand and I don’t really get too much of a choice. I also would like it to have PCIe 4.0 support and a M.2 slot for a nvme drive. I’m likely gonna be buying it from Amazon or Newegg since the 2nd hand mini itx motherboard market is pretty non existent. If you guys have any recommendations they would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone running 3x PCIe 8-pin GPUs with their ENP-7660B?

How have you done it? I take it that the 4070S FE needs all 3 populated.

I have read that you can split one of the cables off to plug into two, the other 8-pin will plug directly into the GPU, as long as it's AWG 16 wire.

What Y splitter would you recommend for this particular PSU?

Making a router build out of spare parts I have. Looking for the smallest 3D printed case that can fit an itx board, a full size psu, and a 1 slot pcie card. Happy for a free model, paid model, paid print, or even a regular case. Please drop suggestions!!

Looking to snag a 4070 ti super next week to install in my Fractal Ridge and realizing I don’t understand the fundamentals of this concept. The case supports up to 335mm GPU. Should I max that out as close as possible or leave some room?

Main concern is the RAM clearance / whether everything will fit without extra tweaking or special cables etc. Can't go any higher on the pricing, but lower suggestions are welcome

I was waiting for the Dan C4 for eons, only for it to not ship stateside. Ended up building in the nr200p, but i really want to move to a more premium case.

Are there any alternatives to the Dan c4 that maintain that premium standard but also don't use riser cables?

Thanks!

Current build:

  • CPU: 5600X w/ Wraith Prism Cooler
  • GPU: PNY RTX3060 w/ Single Fan
  • Case: NR200P
  • MOBO: MSI B450i Gaming Plus Max WiFi AM4 Mini-ITX Motherboard
  • HD: WD_Black SN850X 2TB
  • RAM: 16gb x 2 3466MHz
  • PS: EVGA SuperNOVA 550W GM

Whats the best CPU and GPU combo I can get given my limitations to AM4 Mobo + 550W power supply?

I'm thinking 5800x3D for CPU but then i would need a better cooler correct? Whats a good pair to go inside a NR200P.

For GPU whats the best GPU i can get that's compatible with a 550W power supply?

Thanks!

P.S. I game on 1080p 144hz if that matters for GPU

What is everyone using to do combo full CPU multicore plus GPU load testing? Cinebench + Furmark?

I know this is a super unrealistic test scenario, but I want to test some changes in airflow design for my case and want to be able to see the difference in temps during a full heat load test.

Hello i have purchased an Asus dual 4070 super (the founders was taken from my basket…) and i have a 7800x3d. Due to the asus being 51mm, I assume getting any 67mm cooler will cause turbulence as its directly against the case grills. I am wondering what is the best cooler to get without turbulence.

I would like to know the efficiency of the 200w power supply included in the case. Could you give me the consumption of your idle config and the details of your config

I would like to use it for a homelab/homeserver with a low consumption CPU like Intel 9th/10th or N100.

THANKS

As in title ; are there any other 5L~ish console cases built around FLEX power supply ?

This size seems to be niche-within-the-niche

(no need to remind me of the larger SFX consoles, or APU cases, or HDplex-only cases)

Reminder of the only two I am aware of so far ;
