Thanks to CaseKing.de Employee i had to Reorder the Case because they made a mistake

One thing i don't like about this Case is that after removing the Drives bay there will be a few holes that need some modification thing i have never done before

id suggest a "cover" from the rear side. Even just covering the holes with a black piece of plastic, or aluminum , or hell, even electrical tape would make it nearly unnoticeable , especially once the components are added. you could even get a black piece of non skid padding that has no texture design, and attach it.

like this.

When you quoted my post i asked the guy if he has something like the one you posted and he said yes

My dad bought this 970 Evo for his Mac Pro, but since it only supports PCIe 2.0, it wasn't much better than the AHCI drive he already had, so he sold it to me.

I installed it in my laptop to replace my old ADATA drive that was only SATA.

Here it's

You can use a little bit of tape, and attach the whole sheet to the backside of the motherboard tray, and then use some type of marking instrument like a white crayon ,and stencil or trace the cut outs( if you want to have it as close to exact size). Or you could just cover it with a big flat piece, if I was you I would attach Velcro adhesive tape one piece for each corner of the sheet and then put the other pieces on the motherboard tray that way it's easily removed/reattached if needed

I hope it doesn't get too hot in the laptop!

I'm loving this thread right now, pure hardware porn

It does run pretty hot unfortunately. I've seen it peak at 65C. Still cooler than the old drive that peaked at 70C. I've been looking at heatsinks to see if there are any that would fit inside my laptop.

Maybe something like this would fit? https://www.amazon.com/Hacloser-Heatsink-Conductive-Adhesive-Thickness/dp/B07GN9MHLG/
Or this https://www.amazon.com/Easycargo-Heatsink-Silicone-Thermal-70mmx22mm/dp/B07BNGVCBZ/
You seem to have a bit of space.

This one claims to be for laptops... https://www.amazon.com/Sparepart01-Oxygen-free-Heatsink-Thermal-Cooling/dp/B077VJ4N8C/

I had no idea there was already such a huge aftermarket supply of heatsinks for NVMe drives.

It arrived! $3.95 plus shipping. I hope to hook it up soon!

Figured it might, the extra speed sadly doesn't help much in the laptop as the controller has to work harder for the performance and with that it might throttle as well at some point to keep the temps in check.. Any chance of swapping it out with something slower and having that in your desktop at all?? Might be a better option if it's at all possible

Windows 10 on a laptop mech HD was a nightmare, I just threw in a stock 2.5" SSD instead.. Couldn't be doing with the extra heat/hassles from an M.2 drive so left it alone for the laptop

If only my MSI X99 board would allow me to lock the M.2 PCIe bus speeds, I'd have my Samsung M.2 in that rather than a standard 2.5" SSD...

Finally arrived after DPD yesterday made a mistake

I don't know why everybody is making mistakes with my orders

 

[AsRock]

3 new members to the family, only picture one of the Yamaha's s they are both the same.

Yamaha MX--55 and a Denon DCD 1500 MkII, both MX-55's like new which is pretty crazy for 29 yo HiFi. TBH the Denon is in great looking shape considering that's even older.

Looks like my cloth needs a cleaning

Ordered the 2mm copper version of the one in the second link since it has prime. Should arrive on the 3rd. Will update when it arrives.

Thrift store find of the day...

It's a Denon AVR-1909 7.1 receiver. It was priced for $70, but today was half-price day, so I got it for $35. It's currently replacing my good old Yamaha HTR-5830 to power my computer speakers.
Gonna need to research it more to see what it can do.

Awesome rad. Mine is 3 years old now, cooled 4790K+980Ti, 5775C+980Ti/1080Ti, 8700K+1080Ti, and now 9900K+1080Ti. In loop with another 120mm, cools a lot of watts.
