Hey, I've been rooting around my closet and found some stuff I'm not using. Prices are somewhat flexible and include shipping. Paypal preferred, not looking for trades. HEAT: https://www.heatware.com/u/81169/to **I'll post pics tomorrow, need to upload current** 8GB "Magic RAM" Samsung...

Hey guys, I figured I'd post up about the Cryorig C7 since I don't think anyone else has. It just barely doesn't fit. The top part sort of fits with the side panel on, but only with that one panel in place. If you install the other half (the L/7 shaped part, it presses the panel into place, thus...

Well, I bit the bullet and decided to part ways with my Nano. As much as I like the card, it was tempermental even in my SG05 with a higher wattage PSU. I did run some testing with t he HDPlex and while it definitely worked (even at 100% power limit!) the HDPlex complained... loudly. I'm moving...

It's a good card, and I haven't really done much with it yet. Eventually I'll try and tune it down a bit on the power draw, but lately I've been having more trouble with other components in my build. Just had an SSD completely die on me so I had to reinstall on my former dedicated game drive...

That looks incredible! I love the Al front piece, but Hesitate do keep it on because it looks so good. Pretty sure this is what I'm going with my S4 once I get my Nano dialed in.

NFC, how did you get the Nano to cooperate?

While that GALAX cooler is pretty slick, and kinda OG lookin' I'm definitely not going to buy it because of that !$%!@# clown. Deal. Breaker. I'm also not super crazy about the angles on the Founder's Edition, but I do like that backplate. In the end, I'm not the type to build in a case with...

PM'd

Great, like I needed another case (?) to lust after. I'll be in my bunk.

ahh, gotcha. Still very good results on those temps!

Oh, so the C7 DOES fit? That's exciting! Might consider switching over to that from the L9i considering those temps... Will definitely do that!

Incredibly cool idea. Think I'll try this out myself if that's ok

Awesome, I'll look into that. That's the same stuff you used on the cables as well IIRC.

Honestly, if you go into it accepting the possibility that it *won't* fit, you might try it. I'd considered it myself, but it looked as though the C7 is about 2mm too tall. The stock intel HSF's do fit, but they touch the side panel when in place, so they'd be the absolute tallest option. For...

Not sure yet. I've found some copper plates on amazon as well as thermal glue, but I don't have the SSD yet. I think I might have a 44mm SSD to get measurements from though, as I figure the thickness (for lack of adequate verbage), should be similar. That said I think one of Josh's posts shows a...

So, has anyone done any testing on NVMe SSDs on the back of the motherboard? I'm looking at the Samsung 950 Pro 512, but I'm a little concerned about thermal throttling. I'll be installing a heatsink either way (and by heat sink, I mean a piece of copper thermal-glued to the chips, possibly with...

First of all your build looks great! I kinda want to track down one of those cases now, it'd be an amazing option for transporting the rig to LANs. As for temps, I haven't run any benchmarks yet, but I can do that this evening. Running games like Fallout 4, Evolve, etc. I see both CPU and GPU...

It Lives!! http://imgur.com/a/wF2gO So now for the post-op. The card does fit, snugly, but workable. the only real issue I had getting the thing in was the power cable, but that had more to do with one of the 8-pin connectors being the wrong kind. Not sure what happened there, but the other one...

Yeah, I think so too. I'm going to take the opportunity to adjust the mounting holes a bit too. Right now the HDPlex connector is being held in with one screw. It's stable, but not solid, and that hulk of a power brick's cable is thicker than a standard C5/5 power cable, and not super flexible...

Well I've got an ASUS GTX970 DirectCU Mini on the way. Anyone else have this card? While it does look to be on the big side, I do think there'll be room for the power connection, though just barely. I'll snap photos when I get everything tied down.

So, after about a week running my system (i5-6600 + 16GB DDR4-2400) cooled by an L9i, I can say I'm very impressed by the case's cooling ability. Those huge vents are very effective! Also, until I installed that cooler I didn't really appreciate how tight things are in this case! I've used the...

As someone who owns the ML08B (similar layout as the Node 202 -AND- NFC's S4 Mini, as well as a Silversone SG05, the important thing to consider is how you'll be transporting the system. Slim cases like the Node and the S3 Mini tend to be easier to lug around, and in the case of the ML08B can...

While I agree with this, since this IS an enthusiast forum, it'd also be nice to see similar tests using mid-rage hardware (i5's, GTX970/R9 280/whatev), just to get a broader spectrum of results. That said, I know [H] is only human, can't fault them for that! I know that feel bro.

No worries, like you said it's an evolution, an organic process. This is your art! Anyway, finally got my Voodoo 350W power brick in today and holy cow this thing is a monster!

T___T It's beautiful. Part of me wishes I'd waited, but I'm still thrilled with my Model-T Edition :cool:

Pretty much this IMO. I don't have an iPad myself anymore because I handed it down to my dad when I got a "free" Android tab from ATT a while back. I just never really used it outside of my gaming group, and I rarely use my existing tab in the same way. They're neat to futz around on, but I'm...

CDW could a a good option, since I'm not too crazy about shipping overseas. Then again, I had great luck with a similarly low-power tier AMD apu I bought a few years ago on eBay from a guy in Spain, so I guess it's not *that* much of a risk. CDW's prices look a lot better than eBay's too.

I am excite. Now I know what my P4400 is going into once I upgrade my current build. Media/Streaming PC built into a Fallout Anthology Mininuke without having to 3D print an extension, yesplz.

I liked the phone while I had it. I ended up moving to a Nexus 5 because I think my face is too short to effectively use the phone. OPO is a massive piece of phone and the primary mic sat around an inch away from my mouth and pointed in the wrong direction. Add to that the inconsistency of...

Better price, but still not a fan of the power consumption spikes.

Not a bad idea. I still have one of the resistors from the 2 switches I bought, no idea what rating they are. Radioshack is around the corner though! Looks good. Similar to my original plan actually!

/facepalm Oh, You.

Question completely unrelated to CPU coolers: Are you guys using resisters on your blugin switches for the LED? I've got mine wired up straight through, but the light is a little on the bright side. Incidentally the wiring diagram on the product's Amazon side wasn't terribly effective. I was...

Looked back at the product page for the C7 and you're right. Looks like the C7 might be 2mm too tall. I've got to switch out my TIM today anyway, so I'll get some definite measurements from CPU heatspreader to interior of the side panel. FYI I'm using digital calipers but I'm not a pro at...

I love those copper core sinks! If only they had a better mounting mechanism. Is the one you have a solid slug or just a piece that mates up to the heatspreader? I think I had one of those copper slugs myself but let it go stupidly. Had it zip tied to one of my old AMD rigs and it worked really...

I can't believe I missed that. I'll take some measurements this evening, and maybe we could get Josh to chime in as well. My concern with this style cooler would be how the fan mounts. with the C7, the fan hub is mounded below the fan in relation to the air flow direction, while...

I don't have a ruler to confirm, but it definitely fits with very little room to spare. I think the max-height of 40mm is to allow for some room between the cooler and the side panel. I'm pleasantly surprised at the cooling ability so far with the stock sink and the excellent ventilation of the...

Very tightly! Still a good option for some use-cases. Pics as promised: http://i.imgur.com/3mfkUiW.jpg

Looks great! I've got the HDPlex installed in about the same way at the moment and there's just enough room to loop the ATX and Aux cables around the stock Intel cooler in mine. I don't have pics right now, but I'll edit this later when I can snap some later today. literally my only gripe with...

Can confirm this, I'm from Oklahoma too. I'd figured it was just a 'parents' thing where at a certain age Oklahoman's just give up trying to pronounce names correctly. Some day I'm going to take on the mantle of incorrectly pronouncing names from my father, who took it from his father before...
