Will have to figure it out, but we're not there yet. We are considering the change in how the stand is attached - optimally it would be placing the case onto it/into it without a need to put the case down on something first to attach it. But it complicates the shape of it, so for now there's no...

This may be insteresting for the owners of Sentry 2.0

8 mm hole plugs. This is a generic item. Pull the broken piece out and check the other dimensions for yourself. The outer diameter was something like 12 mm and it shouldn't go inside more than 8 mm.

It's not about the manufacturing process when it comes to to variants but the production scale and how the case is designed. With around 1000 units in a production run adding options makes it so you need to keep track of these options and make sure that each unit gets parts from the correct...

We have no idea so far as this depends on how much of the heat is in one place. We were ready to get the XC3 card from EVGA and waiting for notification about new stock, but it never came. And that was until there were some news about new cards coming which means either significantly better...

Not really. We tried doing so with various approaches and in every possible scenario the end results have aesthetic that you don't really want to look at. Also lets see if the design gets to stay for more than one generation, especially the one that had such issues with availability. It does...

I think this should fit. The 2070 Mini from Gigabyte is smaller than 1080 Mini which was really close to fitting in 1.1 and this card seems to be using the same cooler shroud design as the 2070 Mini.

I'd like to note that when you are talking about the noise, define the conditions and what is your comfort level. I had a talk on reddit with someone stating that he's C7Cu or G with noctua fan is fine, but at the end of conversation he confirmed that he's fine because he has his headphones on...

How are you planning to close it?

Most likely not. The heatsink looks like it'll be 4~5 mm thick, and the pcb itself of the m.2 will be around 4 mm offset from the pcb of the board, and there's also surface mounted components on it. You have 7 mm of space between the motherboard and the plate that's holding the stand-offs. I...

With Zen 2 AMD is stepping outside the TDP with boost like intel was doing so far. So a 65W TDP SKU has actually 88W max socket power and it's pretty often pulling this much. Also max temp is 95c so it is going with turbo towards it unless it hits power target or this max temp, similarly to how...

There's something I haven't had time to show for some time. Some time ago one of the backers asked about various ways we could adapt Black Ridge to the boards other than the Aorus ones that have socket far enough from pci-e slot so the fin stack doesn't obstruct it. I found one way to do...

GTX 970 was a 145W~150W TDP card iirc. If you want to add case fans like this, make sure to get noctua fans in this size, otherwise they will be chirping a lot. Also you will have to somehow distance those fans from the perforation quite a bit to prevent noise from turbulence. But it may help...
