    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    I don't know of any 1070s or 1080s that require 80-100% fan speed for overclocking. Even with the worst case scenario on the FE there's little need to go over 70%.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I'm using slower Noctua F12s in the same setup, and my temperatures max out at 60C in exhaust config. I find it significantly quieter (especially at idle) than when I was using the EVGA Hybrid kit. You can get IR thermometer guns pretty cheaply to measure component temperatures.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Positive pressure isn't worth dumping 200-300W of heat into your case IMO. You do at least have the option of perfect intake or exhaust configs with the Accelero though. When I had the Accelero on the 980 Ti I was getting 65-70C overclocked under load, with a barely audible fan curve on the...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    You can use thermal tape instead of adhesive if you want the process to be easily reversible. I used 3M 8815 for my heatsinks on the 980 Ti and 1080. I've used the stock adhesive previously on an AMD 6870. The heatsinks did come off, but left some adhesive behind on the VRAM chips. I have also...

    There's no standard for what a Type C port supports, only what the motherboard manufacturer decides to include. Thunderbolt requires an Intel controller separate from the chipset.

    Browser tabs eat RAM. They don't utilize multiple cores effectively at all. Same with my SF600. Even at 50-60W load, the fan still spins.

    Asrock Beebox

    It doesn't have PCIe or Thunderbolt over USB, so no eGPU. The CPU is also far too weak for gaming.

    The SF600 and SF450 have the same fan. My SF600's fan spins even at low loads (<100W).

    The EVGA Power Link should fit the MSI Gaming X, given how close the power connectors are to the end of the card. EVGA Unveils Unique L-shaped VGA Power Adapter

    Corsair SF600 600w SFX Powersupply

    Had my SF600 replaced and the high pitched sound seems to be gone, but it's still not stopping the fan at idle and seems to have slight coil buzzing instead. Power draw from the wall is ~40W. Edit: some very strange fan behaviour of my 2nd SF600 at "idle", reminiscent of the SX-500LG. Sometimes...

    Corsair SF600 600w SFX Powersupply

    My SF600's fan doesn't seem to stop at idle, and is also making a constant high pitched oscillating sound (also at idle, disappears under load). Ambient temperature is 25C, PSU internals are ~35C. Any ideas, or just get it replaced?

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I wouldn't buy any cooler now and expect it to work with the 1000 series. HBM is going to change the heatsink layout quite a bit. I haven't bothered to test the Accelero IV with fans as intake since the GPU simply produces so much more heat than the rest of the system. (250-300W compared to...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    With my Accelero IV and Noctua F12s I get load temps in the high 60s while the fans are running quietly at 1000RPM. Exhausting GPU heat also means you don't need such a big CPU cooler. The Noctua C12P has been working great on by 6700K at 4.5GHz. You could control the fans using the...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    If you're not willing to put an aftermarket cooler like an Arctic Accelero IV (I get 30C silent at idle) on your card, the Gigabyte cards should work well as they're long rather than tall, preventing them from sealing air in the lower compartment. I would always add fans underneath a non-blower...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I used Maxwell Bios Tweaker to change the speed to a more acceptable level, around 400rpm at idle.
