Nvidia released the RTX A2000 succesor, RTX A4000 SFF
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/rtx-4000-sff/
20 Teraflops (Doubles PS5 performance) with same 70 wattage from last gen RTX A2000.
They claim this card doubles A2000 performance
So hypothetically, this card can match RTX...
Thermal glue arrived so i replace the stock VRM heatsink with copper blocks.
Temps seems ok, i see a 5°c drop with HW Info, the psu dont suffer overheating (on winter VRM stays cool but as soon temps go higher the vrm heat go up to the PSU causing the fan ramp uo 100%)
Installed the NVME to...
Now my Slimline have two USB 3.0 front ports.
I bought a cheap Aliexpress USB 3.0 front header to replace broken USB 2 front ports
You need cut with a razor blade or a knife a plastic cover to fit the header on the shroud and add tape or glue to prevent some movement when you plug something on...
New upgrades incoming:
The VRM heatsink feels extremly hot after gaming sessions
Gonna replace the stock VRM aluminum heatsink with full copper heatsinks from Alphacool.
Just waiting a tube of thermal glue to attach it on the vrm
Second i ordered USB 3.0 front header ports to replace the...
New upgrade.
I decided remove the metal piece of the case between pci brackets to see if that improves thermals (considering the blower style fan, this card needs have clear the exhaust grill to push hot air outside fast as posible)
The metal spacer between 1st and second pci express slot blocks...
Share the result of the cleaning and Undervolting the card (a must action to get safe temps on this case)
As arrived with stock pads and thermal paste, the card get too close to Overheat,reaching 85+°C and 90°C on GDDR6 NAND's with max fan speed
Replacing the pads with Thermalright Valor Odin...
Finally my RTX A2000 6GB Arrives.
I dont like the noise of the blower cooler
But im going to fix it as be possible adding some lubricant and replacing the pads and thermal paste
I think this GPU was used to minning.
Isnt too old to have the bearings dry, but if was used 24/7 thats possible
The...
The Thermal pads and Thermal Paste arrived today
So i replace the stock VRM pads with Thermalright Valor Odin 15W/MK conductivity to get lower temps
And CPU Thermal Paste with Thermalright TFX 14.3W/MK
The best thermal paste i tested (in my opinion)
Feels "dense" compraed to other thermal...
Hi again.
I think finally gonna build my dream Slimline
I won two aunctions a couple of days ago, one for the Low Profile RTX A2000 6GB, coming in two weeks (hopefully).
And the other for a cheap Blu Ray Reader 5.25 Drive
The disc Drive fits to tight but its ok, now i have again a Drive for play...
Hi again
I Undervolt the processor to the limits, the results was good.
11400F never gonna boost to the max turbo speed on ITX case like this with safe temperatures
On Stock settings gaming always reachs+ 80c with Intel Specification (65 watts and 4.2Ghz All Cores)
The system runs ok, but i...
A look to the inside
If you buy the AXP 100 look carefully the Motherboard you want to use it
In my case the Z490GTN dont allow to mount it on every position
The fix to fit the heatsink was bend the cooler to have clearance (VRM and RAM block the cooler)
Or buy a ram without heatink, its the...
I rebuild my Slimline because the motherboard and PSU died on a storm with multiple shutdowns.
This time picked a Intel CPU because Ryzen processors and Motherboards are expensive
My new specs:
Core i5 11400F with 45 watts TDP Limit (runs similar to 10400F, but 11gen has PCIE 4.0 lanes,a...
More pictures of the final modifications
Added 2 60mm Noctua PWM fans
Prevous fans started showing bad bearings noises and i replace both
Set at 1800 rpm for inaudible work
At idle the PC its silent, the GPU its the noisest part, its ok
GX 750ti now have 4+ years and the bearings start showing...
Ok i think finally found the best noise/performance/airflow setup for this case
To someone who try to reuse this little box on the future, without spending a lot of money trying to reach to the same goal:
If you find a way to mod the HP S3000 stock cooler to fit on Intel 1200/AM4 socket, with...
