Good luck on the campaign!
Just one question though, I've not seen any clear photo's with builds inside the case, but there was a prototype made?
Interested in seeing the case, even if it as a prototype with actual hardware inside it.
I think he means that if he waits he might miss the pre-order period again and no retailer will have stock for him. Similar to how he missed the KS campaign
your statement about peltiers is not entirely incorrect, but a key point is missing. As the hot sides gets warmer the cold side does as a well. The benefit you're talking about is the Delta in temperature between hot and cold. it does increase but not equally to the the increase in overall...
Is warranty person bound? I always thought that a product as x months of warranty from date of purchase(or receiving in this case) that it is bound to that product.
I'm not quite sure how solid that would be legally or if kickstarters/pre-orders are an exception to the rule.
Although I can...
At the start of this thread I was also looking into this, making a PCB that takes the 100MHz reference clock and splits it into 2 isn't that big of a project. Combine that with a working flexible riser and you can have a simple splitter and be even more flexible, you can have different lengths...
I've had this GPU watercooled, I measured the PCB as 173mm, excluding the PCIe IO Bracket. So it goes past an ITX motherboard by a couple of millimeters and it's normal height even!
dondan has done testing with the board and has concluded that with some active airflow over the PCB it should handle 400W continuously. I've also stress tested it at 300W in a very cramped case that has internal air temperature close to 35C and it handled it fine.ofcourse.
The above would point...
I've had regular email conversations with them, both for purchasing and technical questions, they always respond timely and with a kind tone to the emails.
I think one major consideration point would be the "idiot-proofness" of the HDPlex riser. It is very thin, and because of it, it can also be very fragile. There is also the fact that you can plug it in wrong.
Things that Dondan would rather not deal with when you are potentially selling 1000+...
I'm on a 150/20 line here and no problem with loading (ctrl+f5 for fresh reload) even the cerberus product page. The first image you can see streaming in but other than that it loads in about 3 seconds for me, considering it's a 20MB page located in Canada it's super fast.
PS I'm from the...
Image show a marking on the SATA plug as HWT
Some Google-fu shows HWT Electronics makes SATA 5P connectors

Might not be easy to find where you can actually buy them, but you could always try asking Icemodz really nicely ;)
As mentioned with more TLC this would be absolutely amazing, but the heatshrinked solder joints and the cable ties are doing it a big disservice. With proper cable management and more attention to detail this would look amazing on display.
I stopped working on it, I had gotten really far in terms of getting it ready for manufacturing, but I've decided that the investment from me and by most people would be way to high for just a slightly smaller system. I do intend to build at least 1 final version, but I need to save up for that...
Great concept, though I fear for the EMI that this thing will radiate, but who cares!
Try and make it a clean naked itx, add some decent ways to hide wires and this could make a really good looking "case" for people that go the extra mile with their sleeving and cable management.
As it is now...
Good thing it is virtual cos paper don't float, that mirror finished SFX PSU looks cool though ;)
I praise the effort you are have put in, but you have a ways to go still ;)
Keep it up and keep improving!
In his OP he mentions he tested with a 65W TDP CPU and also that it is a i5-4440S.
Not the highest spec out there, but definitely not a CPU to sneeze at.
Although considering that this is a "slower" CPU I don't think this CPU hits the 65W TDP it is rated for. My old i5-4670 only gets to the...
I'm not 100% sure, but I think CE mandates a some kind of manual/quickstart guide. Don't quote me on it though.
But raising the price? By 0,50ct or so. Kill the forest? True but it's a small manual. No a 60 page motherboard manual that is 90% the same for every motherboard.
You have to expect that future customers might not be that educated about SFF like the people you find on [H] or other forums. I have to agree with promaty on this. You might not need it for the first batch and the people that support your crowd funding, but I would at least add it to your...
I think it is done because most of the time the space below the GPU is blocked by a PSU or the case floor. So you can enter either from side and top(towards the CPU).
I also see you have a LED option, always nice to have if that's your thing.
It isn't that interesting until motherboard with MXM support show up, the mark up for a MXM module goes down and the either the cooing layout is standardized or MXM with reference coolers are available.
I just watched Linus' video on it. There will be a dual GTX960 version priced at $2000.
Also the dual GTX980 MXM version is going to costs $3000.
That is some pricey markup to be paid, but understandable given the custom nature of the design.
Considering Linus just build a dual CPU system wtih 7 R9 Nano's that are watercooled(So not thermally limited, always power limited) on 1 EVGA 1600W PSU I'm pretty damn sure that a 600W PSU is going to be plenty.
4790K @ ~100W
Fury X2 @ ~400W
Mobo/Cooling @ ~50W
The secondary capacitors...
I believe they used a 180mm radiator, the footprint of Project Quantum is greater than 170x170.
Also the Fury X2 is more then likely dual R9 Nano so the thermal output shouldn't be much higher then a single Fury X. All in all I believe they did have a Fury X2 system making the rounds as it is...
I've had the RSP-1000 and HDPLEX combo hit 550W peak power. It seems to handle it fine.
Dondan has tested that a 420W continuous load is possible with airflow over the heatsink. So I wouldn't worry about that.
Using a Pico and HDPlex with the Nano doesn't work change anything without using a proper powersupply
Again my testing conclusion was as follows.
HDPLEX is capable of powering the R9 Nano if used with a good powersupply, in my case the RSP-1000-24 was used.
Using a HP Voodoo 350 solely...
Are you planning on using the R9 Nano? If not I'd just stick with either the HP Voodoo 350W or the Dell 330W.
I've had it run a GTX970 and 4670 with no problems.
If you do want to run a R9 Nano. You can look for something in the 500W-600W range.
My own choice would be this USP-500, you can run...
Yes to all, but honestly, don't bother with that powersupply.
It's meant for 1U use and has 2 load controlled 40mm fans.
The fans change speed depending on the power drawn from the PSU, extremely annoying.
There isn't anything strange about the pinout of the RSP-1000.
By default you get a connector that turns on the PSU and sets it to it rated output voltage. Only if you're going to do some other stuff. Like control the voltage or have multiples hooked up in parallel that you need to mess with the...
AMD isn't going out of PCIe spec. it averages the TDP of 175W that it is designed for. That this means it can pull 400W for 2 milliseconds and 170W for the remaining 997 milliseconds is another story.
How do you think overclocking works? You go way over the PCIe specification at that point...
I'd like to chip in as i've been doing some looking into this as well.
I've done all my testing with either the HP 350W Voodoo and the HDPLEX 250 or the Meanwell RSP-1000-24 and the HDPLEX 250W.
I'm also using my custom riser that has seperate power for the 12V rail.
The R9 Nano is the only...
