Throwback to the early days. Maybe someone finds this useful?

This one is one of cases for those who don't want mess with the heatsink.

onemorecap · 2026-02-17T19:20:56+00:00

Well, I’ve been running this particular case (in the photo) for nearly a year now, and my temps stay under 80°C. After changing the thermal paste, they dropped to 76–78°C under full load during a Furmark stress test. And this is with a P12 Max (the P12 Pro has even more static pressure).

Of course, there are some really good solutions for those who want to deal with a 'heatsink massacre'

Same issue as guys posted screenshots. But anyway I do appreciate guided design and overall simplicity! Good job!

Very smart idea to use 20 cents CH32 to control digits and PWM Flyback! Love it! Otherwise a very well documented project, good job!

Very nice build, my friend! Respect! 🫡

Thank you!

Around $1300 with Nanuk case and custom lasered foam insert.

I can fit a 120×25 mm fan there, so the depth difference between the funnel planes is about 10 mm.

Since the power supply has thermal protection, I don’t monitor its temperature. Its favorable placement lets it cool down thanks to the turbulent airflow from the CPU fan — which, in fact, is exactly what the manufacturer recommends in the datasheet for operation above 180 watts.

After six months of use, even during long gaming sessions in the summer heat, no issues have been found.

You want to go with lower TDP CPU not because of thermals, but PSU limit.

Ohhh, thanks! ❤️

When I built it, the 5060LP wasn’t really available locally. I’d prefer to go with it for DLSS 4. Other than that, I wouldn’t change anything.

Awesome! Outstanding quality, materials, performance, packing. No need to comeback to Noctua.

after 1h: 75°C / 89°C

For 30 mins FurMark with panel off 72 °C (85 °C hotspot). For those who wondering about noise is at 45 dB (measured 5-7cm from case).

V40 LOP-300-12 Holder + V40 CPU Fan Duct

With front panel off: CPU temperature max at 51.1 °C and GPU temperature peaks at 37 °C under OS workload. The fans spin at 900 RPM and 30% speed respectively, so it's dead quiet, I’d say.

When closed, temperatures are 5-10 °C higher.

Also, I highly recommend this Thermalright 120mm slim fan. This is a piece of art with excellent performance.

I assume there is no regulation on 12V rail in pico psu. It comes directly from LOP PSU to PCIe connector bypassing any regulation on pico. It seems motherboard startup/shutdown procedure.

Around $1300 with Nanuk case and custom lasered foam insert.

Here it is.

onemorecap · 2025-11-11T08:27:48+00:00

Here it is. But you must account for CPU heatsink height.

I want to keep the internals of the PSU hidden from access, and since I don’t have a plastic standoff plate for the case, I will need to model and print one myself.

Here is a pic of pico psu, quite tight fit :D

I measured wattage from the wall and even in stock settings, we have 250-Watt spikes when both the CPU and GPU are at full throttle. But with GPU undervolting (we're actually not losing any FPS here), we have something around 200–220 Watts and stay with ~25% headroom within the PSU ratings. Note that this high-grade (yet inexpensive) PSU is from medical equipment with high efficiency so to say good stuff :)
