If you have the space, go for the full-size cards.
Can't tell, for sure, if those fans are loud. Should be able to keep the card cool enough, though.
Hopefully, it will get reviewed here, on TPU.
No vacation for @W1zzard ! :laugh:

That´s why i am considering this GPU. Because how my dual system build is designet. I am limited in cooler size (You can se my build log in project build to know more if you want to) and why i have a RTX A2000 in it right now. Formerly the most powerfull card with that cooler design until this RTX 4060 and of cause RTX A4000 SFF.

To be honest, I do have a Gigabyte GT 1030 GDDR5 low-profile at work. Fan is pretty quiet below 2000 RPM.
If you're not satisfied, you can return the card and get a refund (it's 14 days where I live).

Yeah and also remember i have had a gtx 1650 with the same cooler design and now a rtx a2000 with a single small blower fan. So i am not so worried about noise. also i am well aware small coolers and fans may mean more noise.

Adding an aftermarket cooler to an M.2 drive always results in much lower temps without throttling, but the installation process can be a bit of a hassle. I've done it three times now with different heatsinks, while also replacing the factory thermal tape with a high quality one.

For a change, for the system drive in a secondary rig I was looking for an SSD with an integrated heatsink that isn't a joke. I wanted a high performance Gen4 model that isn't very expensive and found this:

nvme1.jpgnvme2.jpgnvme3.jpg

It seems to check all the boxes and cost me less than $50 converted.

Picked up this little feller for $300 ($224usd) for my Lone L5. Whole lotta GPU for a 4.6L case...the whole A2000 is smaller than my G14's brick. Now comes the hard part - testing without a low profile bracket, since I have to wait a few days for an eBay one.

We got my wife a prebuilt gaming PC, then I swapped my 1660 ti for her 3060 ti. Feels like a bigger step than the RX 570 to the 1660 ti. Now I need a new PSU.

Ah, yes. The Asus 3060 Ti Dual with GDDR6X memory. I think it's rated at 225 W.
May it serve you well.

P.S. CPU cooler seems a little cramped, though. :rolleyes:

How does that CPU cooler sit straight above the GPU, it looks weird somehow.

There's a little gap.

Can't you turn the CPU cooler 90 degrees around so the fans line up with with the back exhaust fan?

I don't remember why I did it this way, I might have been avoiding an obstruction, or just following the default mounting directions to the letter.

Which vram version 6 or 12GB?

6GB, the 12GB ones are about as common as unicorn droppings. Still just 1080p gaming and 4K media stuff so it's enough.

I have to do some tests today, but I suspect it's also a similar level of perf to the RX6700S in my laptop. Both of which absolutely trash the 680M in my laptop (don't get me wrong, it's still an excellent iGPU for any laptop).

It should also help out my 5700G - it really wants to go back to stock because PBO is really hard on the Big Shuriken 3. Now it can, because Vega 8 doesn't need the power budget anymore.

I wanted to try and use an open back headphones for some time. Eyeing a well known DT 990 Pro, but they were unavailable. Then I saw this cheap planar thing Called Hifiman HE400se, and pulled the trigger. One of the better buying decisions lately TBH.

And for those that wonder if being able to drive them properly, know this, even my old smartphone can drive them to decently loud levels, let alone my audio interface.

Planar headphones in general sound pretty dang good imo. You made a good choice on a budget.

The KIA Cerato 1.6ltr turbo GT
I recently replaced the rotting exhaust on my Subaru with an aftermarket catback (resonated midpipe + muffler,) because the OE hardware had been wrecked by the brutal New Hampshire winters with all the salt we throw on the road. I'm hoping that the 304 stainless will hold up better than galvanized steel. It certainly sounds better. The new WRXs have equal length 4-1 headers which sound boring. At least my Impreza retains a little bit of rumble with the 4-2-1 headers. KIAs are pretty nice vehicles, but I'm not a fan of FWD or these lame AWD systems that only engage when you're taking off or slipping at lower speeds. I want all the power to all 4 wheels, all of the time, and Subaru gets you that, even on the automatics, but I love my little 5MT.
