    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    Haven't been around for a while but WiSK you're new configuration looks absolutely amazing. Excellent work. Can I ask what you do for work? Also, see more detailed pictures of that beautiful lid you made?

    Samsung MV-3V4G3D/US

    So I have this memory in my current computer. Was fortunate to pick it up back in the day when it was ~$30 for 8gb. I know it's been discontinued and the price skyrocketed shortly after I built my computer, but I don't understand why it was discontinued and even more worrying, why there is...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    JJ is Asus's poster boy PR rep. He sounded like he really knows his stuff but also said that an impeller fan design should also work just as well in the FT03 despite my exclamation that it doesn't and he should stop telling anyone that. Forgot about that part of the discussion...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    I think that Asus mini 670 is probably the only performance card without a closed shroud blower cooler that would be acceptable for this case because of it's short length and it's 'special' fan design. As JJ from Asus told me when I met him a while ago, they actually designed the card with the...

    BIOS doesn't detect SSD - Help please

    forum's have always been good to me as well. I try my hardest to lend help when I can. I'm glad you got it sorted out. It's a wonderful machine you've got now. Some non-believers laugh at me when I say, "I need help, I must mobilize the nerd forums!" Then when we're stuck at 3am and I post...

    BIOS doesn't detect SSD - Help please

    It's hard to believe that an SSD brand isn't compatible with a MoBo. I would replace the SATA wire, plug it into another socket, reset the MoBo settings and give it another try. Aside from that, maybe check the MoBo BIOS updates on the Asus site. Maybe they noted it and issued an update? In...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    That looks like the updated version of my p8z77 board. Should be fantastic. Few things to note. First off, asus seems to have a habit of not allowing voltage control on the fan headers so just be sure to get a PWM case fan. It says it has 4 headers, but I'm sure you can only really control 2...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    @Wisk I have the bronze and the asus p8z77 mobo. I've tried plugging my mouse into every USB port I've got. The noise is coming DIRECTLY from the PSU. with NOTHING else plugged in (not even the monitor) the noise is still coming out of the PSU. I know it's the PSU because if I put my ear up...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    I haven't been keeping up, but will check it out soon. I actually have the bronze one and have considered just sticking a stick in the fan and making it 'fanless' until it breaks. If the capacitor update you're talking about is the one from months ago, yeah I have that one too. It's NOT fixed...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    As vipz said, if you don't need discrete graphics, you can absolutely go smaller. I also don't understand your obsession with efficiency. I don't think an underclocked CPU will do much to improve the efficiency to the point of reducing fan speeds... If you want to use this case, I would say...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    And when it does transfer, it's only reading at USB 2. USB 2 devices work just fine, but even using a USB 3 device in USB 2 mode (if it even reads it at all), it will fail in the middle of a transfer (anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes). Thank you very much. I really appreciate...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    That's what I tried doing but as far as I can tell, they have teenagers working for them in the RMA department. They don't know and can't do anything at all but keep sending me garbage. I'm just waiting for someone else to confirm that theirs doesn't work either so that I can make sure I'm not...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    I feel like it's more to do with the actual cable because all the other USB 3.0 ports on the P8Z77i work great. The case ports pick up the device, but then drop it for unknown reasons... Two sets of drivers, ASMedia and Intel. Both drive a pair of USB 3.0 and I believe the 4 other USB 2.0...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    @Borz - That's just silly. The only reason I would consider doing something like that is so that I could use a no-fan PSU and maybe even a no-fan CPU heatsink if possible. In your setup, I would consider moving the PSU outside the case and making your own cables if they're not long enough...
