I have my node 202 on a shelf that's about 11-12 inches deep - it fits just enough so that it won't topple over and kill me. It also burns with the heat of a thousand suns only kept in check by aggressive undervolting. Is there a case out there that can fit on the shelf? It seems like every case is obsessed with fitting a 3090 so they're all a bit too long to fit. Do I have to rotate this sumbitch?

Romes128 posted:Sliger CL530 has similar dimensions to the 202 and can fit a triple slot card. This is perfect. It's going on my list. Thanks!

My friends, I have seen the NR200 light. It was a shock moving from the 10.2L Node 202 to the 17L monster I now have - an even bigger shock when I saw that the GPU thermals were 10C lower even after I uncorked the undervolt. I got a 3070FE so the backside of the GPU needed the ventilation, and most SFF cases with sandwich layout just weren't gonna cut it. The issue I have is that it's just one drive bay away from being a mini tower.  I'll probably get used to it after a little while but I'm definitely compromising.

Keret posted:My hunt for a motherboard and an SF750 are going about as well as I'd expect, so I thought I'd ask about other options: FWIW, I run a EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080 on an SF600 with a PCIE cable splitter since it takes 3 power inputs. I have it undervolted to 900mv@stock speeds. That bastard still sucks down 320W during benchmarks but I haven't had an issue yet, but my brainworms has made me order the Cooler Master v850 SFX from ShopBLT since it's more available - I'm getting it next week after ordering it last week. 460W BIOS here we come

frytechnician posted:So through blind luck, in the space of a month I've managed to get a 5900x, an NR200 and, arriving sometime next week, a 3080. But not just any 3080, the godawful looking but decent performing Palit Gamerock. My question is, at exactly 60mm thickness, which is the NR200's max card slot height, has anyone else tried putting one in theirs or another at an equivalent thickness? Looks like that card is just about the same thickness as my EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra, which is 2.75 slots thick. Compared to the 3070FE, which is exactly 2 slots wide:      (I changed the SF600 for a SF750 after a few weeks of this setup) It should be fine. You won't be able to mount regular 25mm thick fans underneath the GPU - 15mm will probably work. I don't have fans and I don't have issues with thermals.

frytechnician posted:Thanks for sharing! That is a snug rear end fit to say the least but I'm very relieved it's gonna fit. Thanks also for letting me know about the thermals too, I think there's no way I'm gonna run extra fans underneath. I am now one PSU away from completion, cannot wait to have my dream editing, animation and gaming rig soon. I recommend that you don't run the cables as shown in my photos - have the 24-pin cable going up and over the power supply, and have the PCI-E/CPU cables going underneath the video card - this relieves the downward pressure the cables would apply to the card if all of them were going in the same direction. If you want I could crack open my case when I get home today and take a picture. Kunabomber fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Jan 18, 2021 |

Just steer clear of the Gskill Ripjaws, those are some tall boys.

Picture is deceptive. There's a bit of space between the connectors and the (metal) panel. It closes. I heard tempered glass panels have a tougher time since it has less clearance.

Ah, I somehow didn't catch that it's an NR200P. I have a non-TG NR200 so side mounting an AIO would work pretty well with mine.

Haven't gotten an AIO yet, to be clear. But the plan I have going right now is side-mount AIO as intake, and have top fans as exhaust. I just noticed that my CPU fan is the loudest item in my case during normal use.

Yeah, I started with a Node 202, and even with a 1660 Super it ran with the heat of a thousand suns. The 3070 FE actually did alright even with the backside being covered, but as I was chasing the 3080 at the time I knew that the 202 had to go and become an HTPC because it had a hard GPU size limit as well as thermal issues. In the end I had done everything, including zip tying 40mm fans on the exhaust next to the power supply and undervolting it to all hell. At that point my GPU was hitting 80-90C. The only 3080 I could get was the beefy boi EVGA FTW3 Ultra so I ordered an NR200 ASAP and I don't think I even hit 80C now. It sucks because I wanted a smaller package but it sure is nice not having to worry about setting UV curves and monitoring the temperature.

It's not viable because you can't choose what GPU SKU you get anymore, you just take whatever they have in stock if you're lucky.

JamesieAB posted:I need to replace my ageing pc (9 year old i3-2120 "Sandy Bridge"), I'm in the UK and have a budget of £300. I don't know what the market is in the UK, but an option would be a decommissioned Dell/HP workstation with a 4th gen i5 processor and 16 gigs of ram from the used market. You can then pray to the gods to get a GTX 1650 to slap in there and you'll be able to run even modern games at decent quality. It will probably blow your 300 pound budget, however. I would not recommend an all-in-one or tablet chromebook based on your list of requirements. Edit: but yeah the pc building thread will guide you better, what you're looking for isn't the focus for this thread.

Why can't they have the TG option for the PCIE4 version

Still available - I'm tempted to pick one up and just grab a $30 GT 210 to make the initial boot to change it to PCIE 3.0
