Quote from: PT on Today at 09:40:26My main server is a 1L M920q Core i9 9900T with an 8GB RTX A1000, 64GB DDR4 3200 (CPU supports 2666), and a 1TB SSD. Got a Lenovo 130W power brick to power it too.
Took a dremel to it and made a 140mm cutout. Put a mesh filter and a Noctua fan on top. CPU runs 38C at idle but peaks at 69C. I will eventually 3D print a 2U case cover for it. This will also allow me to replace the low profile single slot GPU, eventually.
Quote from: Matt Smith on Today at 00:05:39I did something similar recently: took a ThinkCentre M90q Gen 5, with an i5-14500 CPU and 32GB RAM, and then rammed a 16GB RTX 2000 Ada into it using a custom cooling solution from a modder in Belgium. Nuked Windows and installed CachyOS Linux on it. Works beautifully. Fun project.
Hey Matt and PT!
Thanks for sharing these here! Could you email me a bit more info and/or any images related to your projects at
