So, I am considering attempting a case mod to make my Dark Base 901 Pro BTF motherboard compatible, but I would like to attempt this on a spare motherboard tray. I have heard that the BeQuiet! spares department can sell all kinds of spare parts, however I sent a message to them via the BeQuiet! website nearly a week ago and have not yet received a reply.

Is it worth me sending another message? Is the removable motherboard tray something the spares department would be able to sell me?

Thanks for any info anyone can offer!

Hey! I have been reading about Corsairs Thermal Protect cable and how it works, but I have a specific question about the placement of the sensor.

There is only one sensor, and that is on the GPU end of the cable. But I have seen 12v 2x6 connectors being melted on the PSU side of the cable as well as the GPU side.

What if the loss of contact/fault happens on the PSU side of the cable, since the native 12v 2x6 cable has the same connector on both ends, and its the connector design that has caused this whole mess? If the Thermal Protect sensor is only calibrated to trip if the GPU end of the cable gets too hot then doesnt that mean that a thermal runaway and melting could occur where the cable is plugged into the PSU?

Or does the increased amperage across the cable cause the entire cable to heat up evenly along its whole length, so that the sensor trips regardless of which end the loss of contact is at? If not, surely it would have been a better idea to put a sensor on both ends of the cable?

Any insights here would be really helpful! I'm getting ready for a new build and want to make sure I understand as much as possible about how this works.

Thanks!

Hi there!

Has anyone here built in their Dark Base 901 Pro with an E-ATX motherboard, like the Asus Z890 Extreme or comparable motherboard?

How did you handle the cable routing when the mobo connectors are pointing to the side, rather than pointing straight up as on a normal ATX?

I have been searching Google for a while and I am struggling to find any good pictures of a build like this, and I would like to see how others have done the cabling/which cutouts you used, as I am considering what kind of mobo to get for my new build.

Thanks for any pictures!

Hey! Can anyone here that has one of the Noctua AIO's tell me what the exact dimensions of the magnetic logo/badge are, that sits on the top of the pump? I am trying to formulate an idea...

Many thanks!
