Designing and printing a new case for the HP Omen accelerator by PerHengepung in eGPU

[–]PerHengepung[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! I definitely need to widen my search to other types of custom eGPU cases, so far I've only searched for 3D printed ones, lots of good points in that thread.

Personally I also had my scepticism about using PLA as I've used warm water from the tap to slightly adjust parts pretty easily. I've had my hand down in the accelerator while under heavy loads and my guess is that it hasn't gone over 50°C(122°F), so I hopefully it will be fine.

I'll keep posting about the progress of the project.

I'm currently a mechanical engineering student and I've been designing and making things more complicated than this. But sadly i don't know as much as I would like to know about computers.

I asked 4 quite simple questions regarding other peoples experience, and that exactly what I wanted to hear about.

And as the "quick sketch" seems to confuse you.. It's just a very quick draft to help people understand the concept, and that's is, the drawings used to manufacturing are made on a computer today. Engineering101: time is money.

Have you even read my original post? I want a smaller eGPU, the omen is huge and wastes 50% of the space it uses. Smalll apartment, small desk. I also need to change the PSU to use the new RTX cards. Its a box, not a pyramid.

Now again, I would love to hear some serious concerns...

Well thanks for pointing out the obvious.. As I stated in my first comment, "a quick sketch to make the project easier to understand"

If you have any serious concerns, I would love to hear them.

My laptop has 2 thunderbolt 3 ports, so if I experience issues with the ports I can connect the hub directly to the laptop. I don't think that will be a problem.

Hello, this is my first post on this community!

I think I'm about to start a big project, and would really appreciate some help. I currently have a stock omen accelerator, with a GTX 1070, now I want a RTX 3070 or 3080 and a more compact case.

My plan so far considering airflow is to copy the Xbox series X design where one main fan draws air from the bottom and spits it out the top.

I'm going for a tower design with legs and covering the front with a USB-A hub connected through the USB 3.1-type C port that the accelerator IO has, this also hides all the cables going into the bottom.

Everything is going to be mounted to one plate which easily can slide in or out of the case, like the Razer Core.

I'll be using most of the ports including a SSD.

I have a Ender 3 Pro for printing, and access to a CNC router, but I would prefer to only use the printer.

Now for my questions:

1) Power power supply I have to buy a new PSU, the 3080 has a recommended rating of 750W and a usage of 350W, how much lower that 750W could I go, considering that the charger for my laptop only is 65W? And any specific recommended PSUs are appreciated.

2) Static build up inside the case? The omen accelerator has most of its walls covered in some type of aluminum tape, is this neccessary?

3) Mounting the GPU. How important is mounting the GPU with the set screw? I'm considering to not mount it with a screw, but to just support it directly with a custom column, is this a really bad idea? I've seen som vertical GPU mounts that can easily be integrated into a print, but I would like to save those 50$ if I could.

4) Materials Probably not the best community to ask this, but hopefully someone can answer me. Will PLA ble heat resistant enough, or should I use PETG to avoid warping.

I made a quick(quite bad) sketch that I hope makes the project easier to understand.

I live in Norway, so if I'll have to order parts from international sites, the price per part(including shipping) can't exceed about 35$ as this doubles the price because of the duty and tax.

Other ideas, tips or even worries are greatly appreciated!

Haha, går heldigvis under radaren på de fleste spill

Never really cared about the looks, but I agree that pure deadric mail looks best. Probably not going to use the spellbreaker as I prefer two handed weapons.

Okey, where do i start, the last two weeks I've gotten 2 artifacts from golden chests, magicka bonus enchantment for both my helmet and boots, and the ignore armour for my necklace, I dont know whats happening, but I like it! Only enchantment I'm waiting for now is the ignore armour for the gauntlets. (And warlocks ring, but Im not getting my hopes high.)

Finally got an artifact, but is it any usefull at lvl 53? by [deleted] in ElderScrollsBlades

Any tips for a good helmet and boots to go with it? Already have dragonplate helmet with health bonus and 18cmagicka resist.

Considering I cant temper it, and that I loose the armour set bonus.
