Another update from me here. Now that I've got airflow and temperatures mostly figured out, I wanted to find a way to reduce noise. I was running the 80mm exhaust fan at 100% which was around 2200rpm and while it wasn't exactly loud (I measured about 37 dB from my seating position), it was a...

Haha, you're half right, I'll admit. Stock airflow in this case is, well... there isn't any airflow. I've done some mods to help this and I'll explain below. HP did do a decent job putting ventilation holes around the GPU on the bottom of the case and the side, but the stock case feet are...

Hello Slimline enthusiasts, I have just finished a major overhaul of my 2009 chassis. For those wondering, the RTX 4060 does fit with the pocket drive bay, and LGA 1700 motherboards will work with large CPU coolers and the 5.25 bay filled. Clearance is mere millimeters for everything. Here...

Bump + price drop.

Bump. Motivated to sell or trade this machine as it’s sitting unused. Happy to consider offers on it.

[H]owdy folks. Clearing out some unneeded hardware and listing a unique SFF build in the sought-after J-Hack Pure Mk2 case (only 3.1L) with the most powerful low-profile card on the market, the RTX A2000. This was a really fun build that stays nearly silent in day to day use but can still...

First post on [H] in quite a while. Clearing out some unneeded gaming hardware as I have a baby on the way at the end of summer. Outright sale of the full system or potential trades listed. Would consider a part-out if there's interest in significant portions. Traded to p_monks33 for RX...

Here's my newest build with completed wire management. Unfortunately with all of the part stock issues during the pandemic, I wasn't able to source a modular power supply so I won't be sharing any back panel photos yet (hint; it's a mess back there). Luckily the NZXT H200 series cases clean up...

Looking for an Xbox One S console. Drive size does not matter and do not need any games or bundles included. PM with price shipped to 14845, thanks!

Thanks for the detailed information specific to this brand! I’m working with their support team over email, hopefully will be getting a new block shortly. I initially did plan to go with a true full cover block, but one was never made for my card by the big names (EKWB, XSPC, etc) probably...

I figured I'd throw an update here just in case anyone stumbles on a similar issue. I found a 20 x 20 x 0.8mm copper shim for the GPU block (for now) and tested it out. Idles are around 30c and 75% load in game peaks around 45c with 23c ambient temps. I swapped my 1600 for a 2600x and have...

The areas you pointed out that look like gaps are actually just posts in the block that the standoff’s are mounted to to receive the screws coming from the backplate. I’ve checked and there aren’t any gaps anywhere. The screws thread all the way up to their shoulders and hit the bottom of the...

Thanks in advance to any who may have ideas on how to fix this: I have a Gigabyte GTX 1070 ITX card that I’ve just purchased a full-cover block for from Alphacool, the Eiswolf M04 in particular. I have an issue where the GPU die does not contact the water block. In game temps are as high as...

Thank you! Most of the guts will be staying with me, save for the Noctua HSF, Noctua 90mm case fan at the botton, and the Ryzen 1600.
