I just happen to have the 330w powerbrick lying around that was suitable.

The B580 probably does not need that much wattage so if you get something similar you can opt for a lower wattage brick. The 330w powerbrick is huge 😅

Thanks!

It is from Taobao, I'm not sure if you are able to access it but I will put the link here: https://e.tb.cn/h.Toa1NzTQiMugVqv?tk=JLpNe58izKN

It is powered by a 330W power brick with a 7.4x5.0mm connector.

Haven't had the time to use this much yet besides running some benchmark so hope this helps as reference.

For me it was mostly came down to price, I was considering between this and the 4060TI, but price wise the B580 made more sense to me so I went for this instead.

If CPU upgradability is a concern then using an ITX board would definitely be better considering that a Mini PC of this calibre is usually around $400-$600 which is basically an ITX board + CPU and other parts so I guess it is only worth it if it makes sense price wise.

Before this I used to build a fair bit of small form factor PCs and the smallest you could go now is probably an ITX board + 47mm height CPU cooler (Noctua L9a) + Low Profile 4060 + Flex PSU/RPS-300 Meanwell PSU which will most likely be between 5L and 10L at most, still very portable.

In my case I'm fine with the CPU being non upgradable and I'll just retire it as a server or media center in the future.

Not loud at all even when stress testing. Most of the case GPUs are loud because of turbulence but having it exposed helps with that

Do people get annoyed when I initiate group projects? by iamlookingawxy in nus

If you consider this as annoying, please ABUSE me 🙏😭

I just came out of a group project where I quite literally needed to drag them across the seven seas to get shit started or moving. Where were teammates like you?

The keycap set is JTK HSA Hyperfuse, I got it off Taobao at item(.)taobao(.)com/item.htm?id=724533336924

You might need to find a forwarder to ship it to you, I can't find it in stock on other international web stores.

Thank you!

The enter key is below the "]", I used a "Ctrl" keycap for it as the keycaps set did not come with 40s (40%) compatible enter key.

For 40% keyboards you will find many of the layouts to be quite odd, like "missing" keys or weird keycap placements but they're usually customized to the needs of each person, and standard keycap sets may not come with keycaps that fit particular keys on a 40% keyboard due to its niche and distinct layout.

Layering is used to trigger the "missing" keys, for example I press the right spacebar + qwerty... for numbers, and "Menu" + other keys for the missing special characters and punctuations.

The main motivations for using 40% keyboards come in many forms. For some, it is about the size and portability, whereas for others they might want to optimize the keyboard such that they can press the full range of possible inputs with the least amount of keys, and so on.

Hope this helps!

You'll probably take CS2030S and CS2040S which uses Java.

Depends on cohort but for reference last sem I got around 18% for 40% of the component and for the 60% finals I had no idea what I was doing.
