How many hours that take? Any 3D printing??

Thanks! All 3d was done by hand. Old school oven bake clay. It took over 3 mos to make.

Hmm.. looks a bit goofy with black fans.. was thinking of shooting some paint eater on it to get it shiny and then clear coat it at work..

Would be cool to get the worlds blackest paint on it, black hole black..

Or maybe inside of the case black hole black :eek:

Vanta black close enough?

Vantablack: the world’s first superblack car | BMW.com

Black, blacker, BMW X6 Vantablack. The show car will be making its much-anticipated debut at the IAA auto show in Frankfurt. It’s the first car ever painted in the blackest black there is.

That car is going to get VERY hot in the sun. Pass. Give me a white or metallic paint colour thank you.

Be fine for a PC case though.

Ya. Won’t be so black in infrared spectrum.

Nice to meet You. My name is Violet, Ultraviolet.

Vanta black, that was it

Imagine your ARGB shitstorm going on with absolutely no reflection going on from the inner space of your case?

How awesome would that be? :laugh:

Count von Schwalbe · Dec 13, 2022

They came out with a blacker black.

Also, the exclusive right to make art with vantablack was sold to a single artist. PC cases would probably count.

that's super cute. why even bother with a case. just clean the dust off of it every couple of months, easy access this way and better temps, and its super cute!

where does one even buy a mini-itx test bench, first time I have ever seen this.

They have a normal size one (still small) and an ITX one, you can either get it from OBT or Streacom.

Open Benchtable Project

The Open Benchtable Project is a portable and light benchtable for travelling PC enthusiasts. It is considered "The Golden Standard of test benches".

openbenchtable.com

Open air ITX cases have been popular lately. I know of the Motif Monument (kinda useless the more I think about it) and the XTIA Xproto cases, there's probably many more

The dust does get annoying, even though it's slightly easier to clean, it's more visible and easier to get everywhere

No, it's not lit up like a Christmas tree, but it's all I've got. Not bad considering I had a Dell Optiplex 7010 2 years ago...

Ahh...the Toxic edition...nice card dude. Makes that Aerocool case look tight! Like you had to tilt the card to get in there.

All kinds of contortionist acts were performed to get that card in there, so hate the idea of removing for any reason... Especially as I've now got the support bracket in there too. There is precisely 5mm of room left, so yeah, is very tight but is getting plenty of air as it's so close to the front fans. Thank you for the kind words too.

THE_EGG · Dec 14, 2022

Grabbed a reference 7900 XTX while I could - seeing as pretty much all the partner cards look like they're going to be too big to fit in my Q58.

First thing I noticed was how heavy the box was considering the small size - turns out the shroud is all metal as far as I can tell.

It's noticeably smaller and better built than my RX 6800 Nitro, but watch out on the heatsink, it feels almost as sharp as an old Zalman cooler....I even cut myself while plugging in the PCIe power connectors

freeagent · Dec 18, 2022

Trying out some semi passive performance on X3D :rockout:

Edit:

Since everyone seems to like cinebench I let it run for a half hour..

Edit:

Warming it up with a few blasts of y-cruncher. This is why I bought the torrent, I was going to do semi passive at some point with Le Grand Macho RT, but no need for that when FC140 is a feckin beast :love:

Edit:

I ran y-cruncher 5 times, but I kinda cheated. Since I am just using the 2 stock front fans I set them to run at full speed because I know how heavy it is

Not my best time with this CPU

Veseleil · Dec 18, 2022

Decided to take this thing off:

It weighs 80 grams which is not much, but considering it's on the farthest point from the base plate, its contribution to tower bending isn't negligible.
And TBH it looks much better without it:

Unfortunately, the tower fins aren't symmetrical, otherwise it would be easy to turn it upside down and mitigate the bending from time to time.

How do you like the card mate? She get pretty warm in that confined space?

Also, what made you go the XTX?

The card has been great. Healthy performance boosts in games like BF2042 and COD MW2.

It doesn't get too warm in my small Q58 - I've seen it hover around 69-73C in games. Fans don't go too loud either which is good (for sure a little louder than my RX 6800 Nitro but that thing was seriously silent). The XTX is definitely quieter than the RTX 3080 VISION I had for a short time before it died. My CPU runs about 5C warmer than with the RX 6800 due to the heat that is dumped into the radiator. My main criticism for the XTX is that idle power consumption could be improved but it doesn't bother me much as this is a pure gaming machine.

Went with the XTX because of the sharp price point (of the reference card anyway) and the fact that it's small enough to fit in my PC haha.

And then you have to replace your memory for some reason.... :oops:

I'm not allowed any other parts now for 3 years and yeah, it's VERY close to not fitting. AK620 made it even more difficult, but I wasn't taking that out again so I just manoeuvred the GPU a little and pop, its in.
