Yeah, 20%.

Alright, I bought dowel rods, spray paint, screws, and a miter box/saw. Built this GPU external vertical tech tray of sorts. My glass door will fit on the case after I build a loop into the station, so I'll tie it into the pc loop for now with no door.

Noctua A9x25 to replace the Noctua A9x14 for my HTPC's L9a because the 4650G gets toasty.

 

 

have a feeling it's not going to make much of a difference though.

...nice, that should help. But in case things still get toasty in a small / confined enclosure, this all-in-one block/res/pump is kind of nifty (though I hope they'll make a D5 version down the line)

I would so put an intake fan on the side of the cover if you can find something to fit. Aim intake just over cpu fan. You probably considered that already though.

I'd have to put something on the outside (and I don't really wanna), that vent is directly over the CPU heatsink and:

I'm hoping Asrock lowballed the "46mm" measurement but I guess I'll see tomorrow  

 

 

[BWG]

Oh heck, I didn't realize it was directly on top of the cpu fan.

it fits but barely, but the fan is so close to the side panel that even though it's spinning ~400 RPM slower it's 9001x times louder. 

 

 

oh well

Few things. New AC unit to help keep the dungeon cool this summer for folding/mining.

You mean to keep my room cool?

I've been on a tool buying binge lately.

 

Everything Made In USA.  I don't buy Chinese tools.

 

Wright Tool 4435 1/2" drive Flex Handle  (Wright Tool - the best sockets and wrenches money can buy)

Grayvik prybars  (Vaughan tools with cosmetic defects are labeled as Grayvik...they're prybars they're going to get scratched the first time you use it anyway)

I love tools, got a van filled with all sorts of specialized tools for the work we do. Lots of it is self made.

A good thing they rebrand it and sell it anyways, throwing good tools away because of cosmetics would be a waste.

It might be because I copied it from my Google Photos and EHW didn't create it's own copy like it once did.  So maybe if you aren't signed in to Google, it doesn't load images hosted on Google Photos.  I just re-inserted it again, so should be in the original post.

My power monitoring is much cheaper:
- Arduino Uni Wifi Rev 2

- 6x Drok 0-100 A to 0-100 mA Current Clamps

- Some resistors and capacitors and that gets me 6 phases of power monitoring (assuming a average 120 V)
