So I’ve finally got around to fixing Submarine. \u00a0It’s still not 100% (overheating problems still), but is better and can run without issues.<\/p>\n
I’ve swapped out the PSU for a Corsair SF450<\/a>. \u00a0It produces much more power than my old 200 watt PicoPSU.<\/p>\n This resulted in my CPU cooler not fitting. \u00a0With some measurments, I have ~40mm to work with and went with a Scythe Kozuti<\/a> Low Profile CPU cooler which is only 39mm high.<\/p>\n With the PSU upgrade, I’ve also added a single slot videocard. \u00a0ELSA launched a 1050Ti videocard<\/a> in Japan that fits my requirements and I pulled the trigger on it. \u00a0The other option was an XFX Radeon RX460<\/a>\u00a0but after looking at the performance, it seems the 1050Ti would have better performance and I got one shipped from amazon.jp.<\/p>\n It still overheats, so I’ll soon get a fan on the side to increase airflow. \u00a0I think I’ll be able to put an 80mm fan on the side to blow air into the case.<\/p>\n Had fun a a LAN in Wisconsin last weekend with the Submarine. \u00a0Got some odd looks going through security with it, but was fun and eventful.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
