Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Yeah, red brushed aluminum would be tits on this. I don't know what I'll do with my Ncase now, but I want one of these as my till-5nm machine for sure. :D
The 295x2 will theoretically fit with a 140mm 750w PSU, but it would be hairbreadths of space. The problem comes that this only gives you 25-30w of overhead at peak load, and the independent reservoir precludes WC for the CPU. We were discussing this in the Ncase thread a few days back, as I had...
Aight, after some planning out I think I've got a solid design.
BlackV2 with spare Silver panel kit, ODD slot on both:
Mobo: Asus Impact VII
CPU: Intel i7 4790k
RAM: G-Skill Ares 16gb 2400 11-13-13-31
Boot Drive: Samsung 840 evo 240gb (from current build)
2nd Drive: Samsung 840 Evo 500gb
PSU...
Hmm, well shit. NCIX just used a stock image of the H220 so I thought it was an upgraded model without a major design change. Ah well.
That Fractal Kelvin looks pretty slick though.
It's in the cards, they're just putting it off as long as possible. While they can switch to carbon rather than silicon for the fab process, they're still going to run out of miniaturization room for X86 by 2020 on the current roadmap.
I understand why they're stringing this ancient trash...
There are some who would say that Intel hit the wall with Sandy, and has been spinning their tires ever since. When a 920, a 6 going-on-seven year old CPU, is still competitive for most tasks, that's a sign that something has gone very wrong in the engineering department.
Increasing tick-tock...
I wonder if this would fit in an M1, and whether it would interfere with a radiator, given how far those daughterboards project out from the mainboard.
Swiftech has an improved H220 coming out in the very near future, I saw it up for order on NCIX.
Just did that, best of both worlds! Now if only they could combine the orders. :/
Man, I have an order for a black in, but I keep getting the urge to switch it to silver instead. It's just so...sleek, and won't show dust/fingerprints nearly as bad. Urgh decisions. D:
Yeah, but with a 4790k & 295x2 system drawing 730 watts under max load, going with such little wiggle room seems like a terribly risky proposition unfortunately!
