HDPlex H5 Gen2 dedicated 4way audio crossover build
So, I decided to make a dedicated software 4 way crossover for DIY speakers, and it had to be silent. Hardware: HT Omega Claro Halo XT (dual board soundcard with upgraded opamps, PCI 32bit slot) Gigabyte B85M-HD3 motherboard (matx motherboard, as narrow as an ITX board and has a PCI 32bit slot for t...

Re: Death of thin-itx format?
The ability to use a 4x pcie card is what was great about thin itx. You could make a router, a video capture pc, a media PC with a high end soundcard, in short a dedicated solution centered on what card you used. With miniSTX all you have is a pointless expensive way to spend more money for less. Wh...

Santa came and brought a 60W gtx750ti. Now streacoms can have fanless GPU's without melting.

Re: Fanless gaming PC ( Streacom FC5, GTX660ti )
Adventus, I thought you ran it with some kind of modded cooling, why would anyone get a Streacom and use that single slot cooler in it is beyond me. :) Actually if you're not going completely fanless, getting a specialized heatsink case like this is not a good idea at all. A CPU can be easily silenc...

Re: Fanless gaming PC ( Streacom FC5, GTX660ti )
Adventus, I recommend you run a 160W+ psu for the GPU, and undervolt it as much as you can. Did you run a heatsink on the mosfets of the AFOX single slot HD7850? How low did you undervolt it? I'm asking because the single slot HD7850 is the best card I can think of for uprading my hush, it has a hor...

Re: Fanless gaming PC ( Streacom FC5, GTX660ti )
I didn't quite understand what you wanted to say, but here's what I think: 1. gtx660 (undervolted) can be cooled with just one side of the hfx (two heatsinks, four heatpipes) and that makes for a better organized system. 2. a gtx670 needs 6-8 heatpipes and three heatsinks and the performance benefit...

Re: Fanless gaming PC ( Streacom FC5, GTX660ti )
I have a HFX classic (not yet built) and a HUSH ATX (core2duo). The guys at HFX say it can cool 90W per side. Now the HFX has more metal but the HUSH is better built and it has a thick heat pipe built-in to spread the heat throughout the whole side heat sink. I don't know the figures for the Hush bu...

Re: Fanless gaming PC ( Streacom FC5, GTX660ti )
You did a lot of work with that Streacom case but ultimately it's pointless. That case is destined for something like a 7750 and a 3770t at most. I can't believe that graphics card doesn't melt itself with those puny streacom heatsinks. What's the GPU mosfet cooling like? How did you mod that? The H...

HUSH case top screws
I just bought an older hush e6 htpc to tinker with and I realised the screws for the top cover are custom ... does anybody know how to open them, what kind of tool do you need? The screws have two small holes, I presume you need a special tool for that. Here's a picture: http://www.supportnet.de/art...

Re: HFX Classic build
This build is a bit crap isn't it? I mean, you got the wrong motherboard - you obviously need one with vertical sata ports and with a pci express slot near the right heatsink for the graphics card if you want to add a hot one that needs cooling with the case heatsink. And the bending of the heapipes...

Re: Lian Li PC-V354 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Doesn't a tower cooler fit inside this case right over the PSU?
I'm talking about the Noctua U12P but if that doesn't fit, how about the asymmetrical Antec Kuhler Flow? I'm guessing that would help a hot video card a lot!
