Is the Chopin available anywhere?

I was searching for a case to match with a possible Ryzen 5 2400G build also. The ISK 110 is rare these days and I was reading these systems need more power than the ISK 110 PSU can provide. I started to lose interest once I saw what DDR4 is selling for these days.

How in the world do you prevent glossy screen reflections in a room or office, without being in a very dark room or going crazy with brightness settings?

Those are definitely bulging capacitors. Might not be your only issue, but those capacitors have got to go.

maverikv - Does the GTX 1080 fit? Looks like the front panel is not fully installed.

You can get four 240GB drives for less than the price of a 512GB 950 Pro. In RAID0 the writes will be split up, so write endurance will be great.

SSD RAID0 is a perfectly fine solution. You can get lots of storage space to go along with the high sequential speeds. Depending on your work, you might not even need to think about backups. A lot of people I see talking about how a 950 Pro would benefit them are just using the drive as...

SG05 if you want to do the AIO cooler. Otherwise there are smaller cases out there.

I am running with a 140mm deep ATX PSU, although the length didn't really matter for my H60's tubing. My waterblock's tubing attachments face the video card and both are tilted toward the rear of the case. The tubes curve back towards the rear, then turn around toward the front of the case, and...

The Thermaltake Core V1 looks like a nice case, but it is HUGE. Totally different size class from the SG13. Not bad for a file server loaded to the max with all the big 3.5" drives that you could fit. I have a Corsair H60 in my new SG13. The tubes are crazy thick, but they aren't stressed in...

This case is going to be amazing. I hope a worthy PSU will be available soon to go with it.

I've been out of the loop for a while, but am happy to see this case exists! I am going to move my build into this case soon along with a Corsair H60.

Looks like another hit-or-miss PSU. Too bad.

This is sad if true. FrozenCPU never let me down.

ST45SF-G + Noiseblocker mod is the way to go (unless you need more than 450W).

Oh yeah, I am also that competent electronics guy. I've sourced and replaced capacitors for failed hardware that is worth keeping. But I'd rather buy stuff with the quality capacitors already there.

Thanks for the updates, WonkeyDonkey. Sounds like you have a great PSU! Even though we've got only got two reports of this PSU here, one with coil whine and one without, I'll be optimistic now. Semifanless operation that works and no coil whine are great news. The only thing I'm afraid of is...

Phuncz is right about Intel's variances of the i7-4790K: https://communities.intel.com/thread/54032 While I can adjust the Turbo Mode parameters to match Intel defaults, adjusting the voltage is actually running my CPU out of spec. I simply got one of the many processors that sucks and will...

It turns out I am able to change the Turbo Mode parameters, I just needed to click on "Auto" and type a number in. The interface did not make it obvious I could type anything at that moment. So I changed as much as I could to the Intel defaults and the voltages and temperatures behaved much...

It seems the board is trying to keep Turbo mode locked as high as it can go, without any time or other limits to stay within 88W TDP. I suppose it could be OK if I had great cooling and more room, but I am running a larger-than-stock cooler with a slower 120mm fan to keep noise down in a small...

I am going to return this board. I have tried tweaking the UEFI settings but there are still things which I can't seem to change. I got the power levels more reasonable but it still isn't there. I understand tweaking things for overclocking, but it shouldn't require tweaking just to get Intel...

Looks like this board defaults to overclocking and overvolting my CPU. My temperatures skyrocket to TJ Max within minutes when testing with Prime95. CPU-Z showed my Core Voltage at around 1.26V. What UEFI settings should I look for to make the board run at stock Intel settings?

I finished my build with this motherboard. It is running good. The only issue I ran into is the "mPCIe Combo IV" card can't be installed below my NT06-PRO CPU cooler with 120mm x 25mm fan. I suppose it would fit if I switched the fan to a lower profile one. Or maybe I can shave part of my fan.

I didn't say that. We're talking about 4K and 8K "making it" in the short term. Mainstream usage such as cable/Netflix/etc. plays a big role in that, and they handle 720P today with a lot of room for improvement. Sure, 4K and 8K and higher will come around no matter what. Early adopters will...

I just got this board. It is printed "Rev. 1.02". Is this the same revision everyone else here is running?

If we're still seeing compression artifacts at 720P, there is no way we are ready for 4K. 4K is worthless until bandwidth improves a great deal. I'm just happy I'm not watching analog NTSC. If any of my HD televisions die, I'll probably get whatever format is popular at the time. But I won't...

Oops, my bad about the capacitors being Chinese and not from Taiwan. Still, I expect Japanese capacitors for these prices. As for coil whine, I know we've only got one sample posted here, but hey - I bet most of them will have it just like the SX600-G. I would love to be proven wrong.

Too bad about the coil whine Tschus has experienced. Along with the Chinese capacitors, I am not impressed with this PSU. EDIT: capacitors are from Taiwan, not China.

I still see blown capacitors out there even on newer devices, long after the 2002 capacitor insanity.

I check back on this thread every once in a while to see if the issues are resolved. I am amazed how this thread just keeps on growing and growing over the same old issues. 64 pages now! Semifanless? Fail. Coil whine? Fail. Fan noise? Fail. Among other issues. I have made my final decision...

The Silverstone SG05 is still my favorite case. It is very hard to beat this case without adding liters. Things I would change would be to make some of the mods out there come stock. The ability to fit nVidia cards with the Titan-style blower cooler. This requires a cutout in the front metal...

AMD motherboards must consume a lot more power than I am used to. I've built Intel systems with 65W TDP in the Antec ISK 110 with 16GB RAM and SSD. With Prime95 and Furmark, I still had plenty of spare power.

I'm surprised the Antec 90 watt PSU wouldn't work for this. The A10-7800 is supposed to be only a 65W CPU. I've seen higher power consumption in a review with a 750W power supply, but that would be completely the wrong power supply to test with. I'm curious what your system pulls from the wall...

No opinions allowed at your corporation? Does your boss know you are scratching people with brains off the list?

Coil whine sucks. Hopefully a new revision of this PSU is planned soon. Too bad for those who have been eagerly waiting for this PSU.

The ISK110 power jack is mounted on the power supply circuit board, behind a plastic hole. It doesn't look like you can easily mount a Pico PSU power jack to the case without modding of some kind.

I haven't noticed any coil whine in any of the systems I have built with this PSU. I'd know if mine had it - I did the Noiseblocker fan swap mod on all of them and keep system/cpu fan noise as low as possible. I've seen cases of PSU (or other device) coil whine in the past depending on hardware...

You have to install a "Gaming App" to get the reviewed speed? Lame.

I think this style of case gets interesting when there are no case fans. A slim design brings the CPU and GPU closer to the vents. The video card and CPU should be able to cool themselves with their own fans. This allows the case to be much smaller, as seen with the 7 liter Valve prototype. At...

I was wondering what kind of technology it took to produce such bad results.
