SCRAP TO SPARK update #6 three things went wrong before I got anything working. the AIO can't cool the BC250. rated dissipation is well under what the chip actually pulls it would've throttled on day one and I'd have spent a week blaming the board. the last package is sitting in customs. - no eta. - can't do anything about it. and the H1 is too short for the card. not tight. short. normally you buy a different case. I can't buy a different case. no top-ups is the rule and the rule is the entire point. so I did what any normal person would do and picked up an angle grinder. - cut left. - cut right. - gutted the interior, - drilled new holes, - fabbed a mount for the ATX plate. - different cooling solution entirely. the H1 that's sitting on my desk is not the H1 I started with. it fits. came here to turn scrap into a spark. today I just made more scrap. €0 spent still $4k from the Spark
