I ordered a framework laptop and it's shipping out soon. I'm realizing a KVM switch or a monitor with a built in KVM would be nice for use at home. Does anybody know if the framework laptop support charging and video out over USB-C? If not I guess I'll try to take it into a micro center and find out. Edit: Nvm. I just found it listed

And this is why I put a copy of my digital purchases on Nas.

Slots 2 and 4 are primary on this board.

Are you putting it in slots 2 and 4?

The C1 is a downdraft cooler and the h5 is a tower cooler. And they were both on an overclocked R7 1700, 3.9 at 1.35v.

After using Cryorig C1 and H5 in the same system I can say the C1 is not even close. It's more comparable to a 212. The H5 keeps my CPU at 65C during a stress test. The C1 was at 80C.

Update: Yesterday I received an ML240L RGB from Cooler Master. They still have not replaced the RGB controller and at this point I don't care. It's been almost 6 weeks from RMA open to receiving a partial replacement (3 failed parts, 1 replaced and 1 returned). I am beyond frustrated with Cooler Master at this point and will never use one of their products again. I purchased an NZXT H400i and a Cryorig H5 Ultimate this week. I've rebuilt my system into this case using this cooler. My build no longer has any CM parts in it. I plan on borrowing somebody else's hardware so I can demo how my old motherboard is broken. I don't think this old motherboard will break a CPU. It's just very unstable with higher power draws at this point. I am going to give away all my CM parts because I have no interest in using them. I'll probably give them to somebody local looking to put together an mATX build.

Just so people know I'm not crazy and making stuff up, I've attached some censored screenshots of emails I've received today. Also, another update. I received my broken motherboard back out of nowhere today with a note saying it's not broken. If I have time between some work and yard work, I'll be putting together a video on how it is broken this weekend.

And yet another update. I just got another email saying they shipped me something to another rando in Colorado. I guess they're just slowly sending everybody else my parts now? Or maybe they're sending me their CRM database one contact at a time?

Holy crap. Amazing new update. I just received a "your package has been sent to you" email from Cooler Master saying they they shipped my stuff to some rando in Texas instead of to me (I live in St. Louis, MO). And now I cannot even login to the cooler master support site because it just throws an internal server exception.

Probably lost. I'll know next week.

The correct AIO and controller.

Update: They're sending me a return label and shipping me more hardware.

They didn't even You didn't say they wouldn't even send me back the same product I sent them. I shipped them an ML240L-RGB, then sent back an ML240.

Update: My lowest expectations weren't even met. I'm simply blown away at this. I shipped cooler master an ML240L-RGB, the RGB controller that it fried (cooler master's RGB controller) and the motherboard that it fried. Cooler master shipped back a different AIO (the master-liquid 240, no RGB), no RGB controller, and no motherboard (not even the motherboard that I sent them).

Update: I just received a notification that a replacement part is on it's way. Throughout this process I have only received automated responses (received, in process, shipped, etc). I have no information on whether they are replacing the other parts their product broke. Service experience so far: Poor. I'll leave another update when see what they shipped to me.

Update: I finally received a response to my RMA request. Gotta pack things up and ship them out now.

Update: It's now been over a week and I haven't received any response to my RMA request from Cooler Master. I've opened a support request ticket asking if they're even going to acknowledge it at this point. I am not impressed.

The cooler master Q300L or Q300P might fit your bill. It can comfortably fit a 240 rad in the front and a 120 rad in the back. A 240 rad will fit up top if you don't have tall RAM getting in the way. Their specs don't officially support a 240 up top, but I tried it out in mine and it fits. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mini-tower/masterbox-q300l/

If you're getting it from a store they should all have stickers stating if it already supports Raven Ridge. Or they can flash it for you (they shouldn't charge for this AFAIK).

The ML240L is sitting on my coffee table along with the parts it has broken (motherboard and RGB controller). I swapped out my motherboard today. Prime 95 passing w/o issue again.

I think that's a reasonable expectation. However a defect in their product appears to have broken (at least) two other pieces of hardware in my system. If they won't do anything for me I'll probably just not get anything from their company again, they'll never notice the slight drop in revenue, and life will go on.

I'm putting this here mostly for documentation purposes, in case something like this ever happens to anybody else. And maybe there is an expert in here who can tell me if this sounds right or if I'm way wrong. TLDR Version: I bought an ML240L RGB back in March 2018. It must have had a defect and developed a short somewhere in the RGB side of things. It appears to have broken my motherboard and an RGB controller. I didn't know it had a problem until it nuked the RGB controller. I've just opened an RMA and asked Cooler Master to replace the unit and the hardware that it has broken. I wonder what will happen. Most recent Update: Full Version: Back in March, I bought an ML240LRGB AIO because I was moving to a smaller case (the Cooler Master Q300L) and my Hyper 212 evo would not fit. I moved my hardware over and everything seemed great. A Prime95 stress test showed temps were well under control and everything was cool. A few weeks in, I noticed the rainbow effect wasn't working anymore. A quick investigation revealed that the Green channel from my RGB header was no longer working. Bummer. I'll just colors I can make with Red and Blue for now. I also noticed some random blue screens, but I thought they were just random problems with running overclocked memory. They weren't super frequent. My birthday was this week so I decided to treat myself. I bought a Cooler Master 3 pack of 140mm RGB fans that came with an RGB controller. So I wired up the new fans and RGB controller and everything was cool. Then I was like "Oh wait. I should plug in this AIO and it's fans to this new controller so the colors will all match." As soon as I did that and powered on the computer I noticed the CM RGB software isn't working. It's saying I need to plug in the controller. But it is plugged in. Then I noticed windows show a popup from the systray saying a new piece of hardware is malfunctioning. Then, I started to smell that wonderful burning PCB smell. I checked around and quickly found out that my RGB controller is now HOT. I quickly unplugged the SATA power cable and the smell started to disappate. But now I realized there was obviously a problem with my AIO. It has apparently killed my brand new RGB controller and at least the RGB stuff on my motherboard. Then I did some stress testing and at stock settings with a 240mm AIO on it my CPU isn't able to pass Prime95 for 2 minutes (temps are fine). My crashes seem to be making a lot more sense now. They all happened while playing games or doing other intense work. So now I've opened an RMA with Cooler Master asking them to replace the defective AIO and the components it's broken. But I'm not sure what else could be broken at this point. I'll be pissed if my R7 1700 is busted because of this.

I concur. I have this in mATX. Amazing value and actual heatsinks on VRM.

Thinnest? Probably the cooler master lite series. But why? Rad thickness shouldn't be an issue unless you're cramming it into a node 202 or something.
