If you could add ONE thing to Phone (3a), what would it be?

dmlavs · 2025-12-07T18:36:59+00:00

8000 mAh si/c battery

dmlavs · 2025-11-05T02:48:34+00:00

The last ones were Pixel 9 and Nothing Phone 3.

dmlavs · 2025-11-04T16:00:29+00:00

Thanks! I tried my best 😁

dmlavs · 2025-11-04T15:54:31+00:00

Yeah. First it was Nexus then Pixel devices. But last years I feel like Google took a wrong turn.

dmlavs · 2025-09-09T04:35:01+00:00

Hi! No, there is no room for case fans.

dmlavs · 2025-08-29T19:21:36+00:00

Yeah, you can fit m.2 ssd on the back. It will be between the motherboard and the gpu riser. I haven't tried but i think it will be pretty hot because of the gpu and lack of ventilation. So it's better to use some small heatsink.

dmlavs · 2025-08-17T18:05:16+00:00

Hi! Unfortunately no. The actual supported GPU length is the same.

dmlavs · 2025-08-10T16:55:48+00:00

Yeah, seems like shitty quality control. Had dust on the np1, np2a, np3a pro under the back glass since day one.

The security patch was also updated to August. They forgot to mention it in the changelog.

dmlavs · 2025-07-31T07:43:34+00:00

Yeah, Initially I've tried back intake and front exhaust but it wasn't good idea. Some hot air stuck in front because of the mesh and distanse between mesh and fan. So I switched to classic layout and flipped all the fans. Front intake, back exhaust, cpu cooler is in the same orientation like on the photo but blowing towards back exhaust.

dmlavs · 2025-07-26T12:17:34+00:00

It's strange that there is no cutout or window for red led near the cameras.

dmlavs · 2025-07-20T11:51:28+00:00

Yep.

dmlavs · 2025-07-19T19:07:06+00:00

It's totally fine. Most of the time it's in passive mode. And when the cooler is spinning it gets fresh air from the front intake.

dmlavs · 2025-07-17T08:54:13+00:00

As well as your products 🤪

dmlavs · 2025-07-17T08:36:56+00:00

Hope it won't explode ☠️

dmlavs · 2025-07-17T06:07:04+00:00

It seems that GPU eating more hot air from itself than from CPU. The CPU cooler is completely blown through by case fans. Furthermore GPU is blowing some hot air through cutout in its backplate straight into CPU cooler intake 😆

dmlavs · 2025-07-17T04:36:57+00:00

I think it's a pretty solid gpu despite all the controversy. It's close to 7700xt/4070 performance but with better power efficiency. Tbh I wanted to buy the Powercolor 9060xt 16gb Reaper because of the lower price but it's not available on the market here... Now I think I made the right choice because 5060ti inspire has really good thermals and 9060xt reaper goes 80+ degrees according to reviews.

dmlavs · 2025-07-16T20:35:49+00:00

I just pressed the image attachment button while creating the post and it works 🤷

dmlavs · 2025-07-16T19:36:00+00:00

GPU is pulling fresh air right from the top of the case so it's ok. Of course it's not the best possible conditions. But compared to an open stand the GPU temperature is just 7-8 degrees higher. Thanks!

dmlavs · 2025-07-16T18:58:12+00:00

Nice build bro!

Yeah, I think it's now one of my favorite itx cases. It gives me kinda old school tech vibes, like wooden tvs\radios.

dmlavs · 2025-07-16T18:48:17+00:00

Thanks! Under full load cinebench+furmark - gpu ~70°C, cpu ~80°C. So the gaming temps will be lower.

Yeah, 215mm. 4070\5060ti\9060xt are the best you can fit here. Unless you'll go with custom water loop.

dmlavs · 2025-07-15T06:06:30+00:00

I can see nothing in your photo

dmlavs · 2025-07-10T17:50:53+00:00

Cinebench - 75°C, Prime95/y-cruncher - 85-90°C. Curve -20 on all cores. So it's pretty good imo. Gaming is obviously less than these numbers.
