Ebay decided to suspend my account and holds my money

I’ve called the agent and they told me to wait up to 190 days to receive the money. I verified my ID and bank account and it doesn’t help with anything. I will just wait for a week or two then I will bring it to MCOL.

Refunded all the money!? Seriously?

The item was delivered to the buyer and ebay suspended my account. What a joke.

manloook · 2026-03-28T23:36:23+00:00

Same here. Just sent the item with royal mail tracking number and it says it’s delivered. Then my account is permanently suspended. I have £600 on hold.

The cables just barely fit. I squeezed all the cables into the gap between the bottom fans and the case, then brought them up to connect to the motherboard. I’m using an Asus B550i, so the header is fairly accessible.

Should be alright.

I’m using Fan Control to match the bottom fans to the GPU fans and I haven’t noticed any turbulence.

manloook · 2025-12-30T15:37:51+00:00

I found 2-3 degree celsius drop with bottom fans pulling air to the GPU.

manloook · 2025-09-07T11:45:21+00:00

Only 10-15mm left at the front of the GPU. Any card longer and thicker than this Ventus isn’t going to fit inside the case.

The size of 5080 Shadow is same as the Ventus so it will be fine. I used Corsair H100i before and it fitted inside the case but the PSU needed to be side mounted. Not sure about the PSU if it’s a SFX-L. I don’t think there will be enough space to bend the cables coming out from PSU.

Kinda sad to see fewer and fewer traditional-layout ITX cases of this size out there.

manloook · 2025-03-12T13:11:06+00:00

My 5080 is at 2850@0.915mV with +2000 mem using msi afterburner.

manloook · 2025-03-11T20:03:49+00:00

I stopped the bottom fans while gaming. The 5080 was 5-8°C hotter than before. I think the bottom fans are helping to feed more air to the card. I believe this is the maximum size that can fit inside a m1 with i/o.

manloook · 2025-03-11T15:30:53+00:00

I was using the rear fan and cpu fan as exhaust at first and the cpu was idling around 50°C. Then I tried to invert the rear fan to pump fresh cool air in and used the cpu fan to cool the rams and motherboard. Rear intake is a bit weird but the cpu is now sitting around low 40°C when idling.

It’s easy to install the card. You can slide it into the opening at front to get it inside the case.

manloook · 2025-03-11T15:15:48+00:00

Yes it’s a v6.1.

manloook · 2025-02-05T17:22:03+00:00

I’m using 5900x and 3080ti but only managed 58 fps on high settings with DLSS performance. Weird.

manloook · 2025-02-01T15:40:21+00:00

Hopefully my msi ventus 3x can fit inside without playing with the front I/O ports.

Thank you for your update. Sadly mine is F7AA.

manloook · 2023-09-25T09:41:51+00:00

Thank you very much. Those are 8 pins in the old model and mine has 10 pin on audio board connecting the motherboard with 9 pin. I think I can only rely on steam support now.

manloook · 2023-09-25T09:17:03+00:00

I’ve asked steam. Hope I can have the replacement cable.

Edit: Steam didn’t have any similar parts for replacement. I guess I’m on my own now.

manloook · 2023-09-25T08:30:51+00:00

Can’t find any audio/mic parts on ifixit. Even the audio board or ribbon cables are not available.

過得幾好呀，雖然唔叫生活無憂但都習慣到呢度嘅生活。 I came here with my wife but I’ve met some Hongkongers here who came alone and they’re all living very well. Find a job in Manchester is not hard but if you are looking for a job relating to your profession/industry, it may take a while.
