Mine came out all good, no strange noises, SMART tests all passed in HD Sentinel and WD drive tools. Box was in really good shape to be…

Bought one with 8GB, thanks OP! Have 2x16GB SODIMM ready to go in, going to be perfect for running a Plex server as a more powerful…

Doubt it, key will be tied to the motherboard and likely activated with HWID tying the hardware to Microsoft servers. You won't have a…

I googled the specs and it has: - One M.2 2280 slot supporting either a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe or SATA AHCI M.2 drive - One 2.5" drive bay…

I agree, it's really slack of Amazon to have packed it like that for a long trip. I may end up returning them all before opening but also…

I just got my 3 today and had similar concerns. The retail packaging is fine for small amounts of transport and to sit on a shop shelf but…

Nice, seems like it can be disabled if you want and are willing to spend the time. It appears to be one of the only differences to the WD…

I got 3, plan to put in an older NAS in RAID 5 or RAID-Z. Being CMR drives they should work just fine (SMR are meant to be a big problem…

I heard about this too and even on a fairly high end machine (7800X3D + 7900XT) I noticed it got laggy at 1440p. Couple things to note:…

Thanks, no problems really I'd be looking to buy a suitable fully sleeved cable so nice to know it'll work.

To clarify, I take it you'd need to purchase the 12VHPWR cable separately as it doesn't appear to be included?

Not sure if anything cheap exists. Maybe if you shop something more expensive from a big brand e.g latest generation Trek make some XXL…

This Cube seems quite decent new for 2 grand, but wouldn't be worth considering at full price. Still I'd personally prefer the Polygon…

Aaaand all gone! Good luck to those who purchased, my build went well and I'm very pleased with it :)

4050 is not great but it's OK. I have one of the Nitro's with the latest Ryzen 6 core and 4050, so similar to this. It has better cooling…

As I predicted, the black case is now sold out and marked as discontinued on PCCG. Silver is still in stock!

I've been keeping my eye on it and at least the black one was full price earlier last week and for several weeks before that (whilst I've…

That's sick mate thanks for sharing, can tell there was lots of work put in to get it how you wanted! Love what you did with the GPU…

Officially 300mm now, lots of old specs are outdated https://www.dan-cases.com/dana4_spec.html Impressively this fits…

It's a niche size these days but not too much stress on component choices if you taper your expectations. I cover a few good options in the…

Yeah that's fair @TheOtherBigAl although there are other options in this category that might have more ports if it's a dealbreaker. That's…

For some people that might be a dealbreaker and I wish it included the option to swap it for a USB-A port like the older models had. But…

The newer A4 H2O is a great case, certainly the way to go if you want more compatibility with water cooling and GPU options. It seems the…

Thanks mate I will search it up! Keen to get my build done so I'll share some photos when it's all here.

Hey all, I'm building up a small ITX system at the moment and spotted this deal. Looks to be an all-time low for the A4-SFX in Australia,…

First, good price and spec choice for a sub $1000 gamer! You mention necessary driver and software installation plus saving of stress test…

What, spend time ensuring up to date and accurate representation of currently sold products on the market? Straight into the too hard…

Very true and there's also Wifi 6E which is an extension of 6 but has plenty to offer with an additional frequency, more channels and lower…

Had one for a little bit to play with, but found it performed more poorly than expected. Both wired or wireless I would get packet loss and…

Called support and they managed to change me onto 1000/50 and said they applied the coupon. The old price of $149 is still showing on the…
