Not exactly true, they might be for Intel 1155 systems, or AMD FM1 systems (although I don't know), but they certainly are not for Atom and Brazos systems which are of course the simplest to cool anyway.The great thing about thin-ITX is that the CPU position is standardized.
Are you sure........ I have used a few ITX systems, and not one of them has integrated power circuitry so that you can just plug a 12v DC adapter into the back, although I have seen reviews of some of the new Atom boards from Intel that have this, others however use standard ATX power connectors.Plus the boards have an integrated power supply.
It would have made no difference in the thermal/cooling results.JJ wrote:Should have gotten another pico-PSU before completing your tests.
Yes. Very much so. The case does exactly what I want it to, and I haven't regretted buying it at all.andyb wrote:Thanks.
You have said a lot about the build, problems and a lot of mods, but are you happy.? Could you recommend this to others (please take into account the amount of work you put into this above and beyond another (nosier) case) and the cost. Was it really worth it.?
