No vibrations (therefore no noise) whatsoever. I was struggling for some time trying to make the original case cage to work, but with no luck. Few hours ago I pulled that garbage out and decided to make my own. And I remind you, these P300 drives are loud by nature.

A forked SSD. Well.. at least he didn't fork it UP.

And I agree. Its forking hilarious. Still, its way better than the standard mounts, Those tiny screws that wont sit on a screwdriver should be illegal.
I use 3-4mm stand-offs instead. Just stack a few if its really tight. No tools needed.
 
Before Thermalright , Thermal Grizzly offered LGA1700 contactframe, I had the solution to lower temps LGA1700mod lock.jpg

And it works, only 72C
 
Finally I am trying to make sff case with atx mobo zotac gtx 1070 ti mini, and some other parts, but first thing is done :D "low" profile cooler for gtx 1070 ti mini ^^
I forgot to check clearence with pcb, and one ziptie has gotten into build :D (screwdriver was to large to uperate under pcb.)

Update, unfortunatelly design is bad, and it is not cooling the gpu properly, so to the drawing board again :D

smh ghetto mods are way to legit these days with 3d printing and what not :S
 
I know what You mean , it's way to clean for my build. And I thought of using cfd modeling to make optimal 3d print, but I guess I will test something today with cardboard ^^

It's a little bit better for ghetto mods, sfx power supply can be mounted on the atx power supply place with 2 screws, and it works :), I'm changing working pc and main power supply needed to go to new machine, and some laying around Chieftec SFX 350 BS is working :)
But i'm mad at myself cause after installing the power supply and powering it on, it spat dust fluf, and i needed to vacuum air :D, bud i did not record it ;(

I turned an inverter into a smoke machine and a vape pen at the same time.
Twice.

because they listed it as being 24V compatible and it wasnt.

0/10 do not recommend, the headache from the fumes was spicy.
 
It's why i didnt post for a few days, my brain did not enjoy the bright lights after I entered the magical realm of the Jizzpacitor

They're organising a recall of the products, after they oopsied up the website and packaging to say they support 24V DC input, but do not.


Front: 12V in, 240v out
1685613001907.png


Website and bottom of box, lies bolded for attention.
10-14.8v or 18-28v in, 100/120/220/240 out
Voltage and short protection!
They did an Asus and a Gigabyte in one product!
First you tell lies, then you disable the safety features!


The problem here was simple: The manuf has VARIANTS of the device that support the different modes, they're not all in the one product.
They didnt remove the generic description for the possibilities off the actual products, and listed them all

That can likely be repaired without much bother.

And once repaired it still wouldnt work on my 24v battery setup, so it was returned for a full refund (and a claim for damages for the chargers it blew up)

The on/off switch doesnt work - and it attaches by nipple clamps so you get a very close up fireworks experience
 
My Brother is more ghetto than me ;(
He used 230v fan with driver that changed voltage that was corelated with temperature probe., and used it to cool the raid setup that is held by woodworking mounting brackets :).

Washing machine was giving E10 errors, bought a new 'solenoid valve' for it

Tore the old one apart in irritation, it was a stuck spring.

I stuck a screwdriver in there and fixed it.
