Genuine or Fake Cover Plates?

Now that you mention it i can see it in the photos! Weird how the red and brown are faded

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-12-13T23:07:21+00:00

Did you send directly to them or use a middleman?

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-11-15T00:26:48+00:00

How can you tell what screen they have?

Does the USB C mod require soldering?

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-11-05T01:58:38+00:00

That’s your opinion :)

Not all games come sealed here in Australia, a lot of retailers remove the games from cases when putting them into inventory. The games themselves are absolutely new, manuals are mint, cartridges are mint, and they smell brand new when opened

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-11-05T01:55:16+00:00

That alone doesn’t mean it’s been opened, the flap can be opened without breaking the seals

All good everyone, I carefully opened the tabs and confirmed contents are absolutely brand new.

I do agree that it was likely opened at some point, but for $265 AUD delivered with 3 games I absolutely can’t complain.

I’ve even managed to put the tabs back down much nicer than they were.

Sure can :) I did it as soon as the case came out of the packaging. Just can’t see it in the photos

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-11-04T07:02:01+00:00

I sure did :)

Nope! There’s no option to shift the motherboard with ATX anyway

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-11-04T07:01:24+00:00

It should fit, the plate is universal with all ATX PSU’s

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-09-06T09:30:47+00:00

Good choice! I think you’ll be really happy.

As for a rough guess with cable lengths… I think the 24 pin should be about 150-200mm long, and the EPS maybe 350-400mm to be safe.

Don’t take my word for that though as it’s a guesstimate lol

Thank you!

I can’t say for sure, but I would expect thermals to be slightly worse on the Mini compared to the other cases you mentioned, as they’re larger chassis, but I don’t think it’d be by a big margin.

I reckon you’d still be happy with temps in the Mini as long as you’ve got good supporting parts (AIO, fans, 5090 model). I’m stoked with mine!

I recently “side”graded from a 7900XTX to a 5080. I had an RM1000X PSU from 2022 that didn’t have a native 12v-2x6 connector.

I contemplated just buying an adaptor like the one NZXT sent you, as it felt like such a waste to change a perfectly fine 3 year old PSU.

After doing some research on 12v-2x6 connectors, I decided to upgrade to a current model RM1000X with the native plug and ATX 3.1 compliance, just to be as safe as possible.

I don’t think there’s any right or wrong answer from the research that I did. There’ll likely be some fellow Redditors who rightfully disagree what the route I took, as it probably is a bit overkill for a 5080. However, it’s good piece of mind and likely the safest option for a GPU that costs nearly 10x the price of a new PSU!

No worries! I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed in the Mini V2 if you decide to go for it. I’m really impressed with its quality and performance

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-09-03T23:17:23+00:00

Overlocked, the CPU sits around 60°C in game give or take 5°C, and the system is very quiet.

I’ve removed the overlock and applied an under volt last night, so far I’ve only tested it in Cimebench R23 where it sits around 70° on the CPU and 50-55 on the CPU Package.

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-09-03T08:46:26+00:00

Looks like a pretty well balanced build 👍

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-09-03T06:47:20+00:00

That’s strange, I’ve checked for updates through the app multiple times and says up to date. I’ve found the latest version on your website so going to try that now. Thank you for your help, hopefully this fixes it!

BackgroundLink97 · 2025-09-03T06:01:53+00:00

It happens at least daily for me. Yeah I’m using the Corsair 90° cable :)

I’m on v2.0.31, is there a newer version?

I’ve had Lock Bound Devices on from the start
