yeah even a low end low power unit should have atleast minimal active cooling. Looks good though I'd have also drilled a few holes along the side and back to help with radiant airflow you cool air in the bottom hot air out the side/back

i feel if they want to make it passively cooled, they should give the product enough grill and big chunk of heatsink so it won't burn your lap

This reminds me of my sis-in-law's laptop with an intel atom. It was a decade or so back, i was reinstalling windows and it literally burned my lap hahaha.

This is the case I cut the hole in the top. Living room big TV added a RTX4060 to play GTA and it was over heating
so i took the filters out, seams okay now. I should turn those fans around lol I ordered two new ones

When you want to upgrade your dummy DP connector EEPROM from 256B to 1KiB but don't have a SOT-23 handy and don't want to wait and order one because you have an oversized 8 pin one right now.

and again its weekend. had some beers and built a Moster-Specs-PC:
G2010 on some gigabyte board. 2x4GB Corsair Ram + 2x2GB Random idk Ram=12Gb ram @ 700 Mhz OCd via Bclk. Some GT710 (slightly OCd via Afterburner) with broken Fan (does not spin anymore). so i mounted a Molex-Fan blowing onto the Nvidia and modded it to 7V. (12V way too loud). GPU cool and quiet now. i installed win11 24H2 LTSC on an 128GB Kingston SSD connected to the SATA3 port this mobo has. Computer runs as good as it can and does its job. not beautiful but not ugly either imo. its running OCCT atm to see everything is fine...

Electric tape still works with cable tidying

Two PCIE 8pin -> 2x 8pin adapters.

that is some real automotive grade cable management. Thats how i fixed my motorcycles wireloom when the heat shrink dry rotted after 9 years of indian summers. Just put a ziptie at the end so it doesnt start undoing itself.

Could also use a self-amalgamating tape layer over the insulating tape. Works wonders even exposed to the weather.

It looks nice but will it not be gross when the glue start leaking to due the temperature of a pc ?

electrical tape is meant for high temp usage so i doubt.

It will be ok for a while, but most of them break down >200F, and experience tells me that after 2-3 years of repeated temps >100F, they will start the same process. Hopefully, you won't see that sort of temp on the cables, but make sure to let us know how it works out of you !!!t

I prefer the cables loose so I can stuff them behind the motherboard tray. I've used corrugated sleeving as conduit for the front IO of an old PC. I think I still have that case laying around somewhere.

Shuttle DS61 was overheating as expected with that cooler design. Repasting the heatsinks not really changed temps, so i was gonna use old Xigmatek S82-DP but it is not compatiable with lga1155, so i ended up with printing janky 3d mount bracket. It was pain to screw nuts in to the bracket (cuz i just buy the 3d printer and im new to 3d modeling etc.) I was thinking finally it is gonna be looking sick, compact size, watercooled pc...

But it need more fan connections (AIO has 3 fan, 1 pump and 1 for the poor chipset) so added fan controller too. fan controller powered by dc adapter (soldered)

At this point compact size think is out of mind :ohwell:

and i need a mSata to pcie x16 adapter

Dont mind the poor naked usb wi-fi dongle its just sticking around top of a stick
