Antennae

Right Angle Adapter

Had to ask this question myself. Asked on the discord. Got this answer from a mod. Mine are ordered.

Ended up finding these! Granted, not as compact and tiny as that button but good enough for me.

I have a couple I'm looking at now for the same reason, interested to hear other suggestions here as well. Edit: heard some good things about these little guys... Maybe someone else can chime in? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LMRK36/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_HHjhEbJZY4EY4

I personally use these.

They work great and the speeds are the same as with the shark fin antenna. They're small and fit. I can confirm this with Aorus B550I and X570I

A lot of people get this and the recommended right angle adapters. Small with dual band wifi. Stock was an issue for me so I found them on ebay by the same maker and it was like a dollar or so cheaper.

Yeah it just wasnt worth it to me. I just use these

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LMRK36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Works just as well and I dont have some huge thing that moves around to worry about

There are lots on Amazon. I got these as these were Prime (and in stock):

Dunno if anyone responded, but you could probably keep most of the components you have already, including the cpu cooler. The NZXT 280mm fits in the NR200 easily, along with pretty much all your drives.

If you want to drop a bit more money I would reccomend a gigabyte b550i, try to get it on sale since I've seen it go for less than 200 before. For your build honestly an SF600 gold is enough, but if you want that extra headroom the Sf750 is good, or one of the cooler master or silverstone sfx psu. Like the comments below said you can also fit an ATX psu in there with a 3d printed mounting bracket (or some zipties), that way you can save quite a bit of dough.

Only other thing I would recommend is two more fans to put in the nr200 since it really helps with thermals, and also some SFF wifi antennas. This ones pretty good: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LMRK36?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I purchased these and they work great so far.

They are wifi antennas. I got em on Amazon. They work surprisingly well for their size. Here's the link to them. https://www.amazon.com/Antenna-Dipole-Multicopter-Racing-Quadcopter/dp/B071LMRK36/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_2?keywords=short+wifi+antenna+makerfire&qid=1578837438&sr=8-2-fkmr0

They’re these ones!. Out of stock currently but you can find all sorts of these little guys on Amazon.

From Amazon, Here is the link.

I know these work with the rog strix x570-i cause it works for me. Assuming that they're the same brand means it can work, and that it's still in the wifi frequency, I think it should work

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LMRK36/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_Fr5eEbCX7GCNP

Not the same exact ones but very similar ones I picked up for my new build after learning about them here

Oh yes. Antenna is an antenna. I purchased these on the recommendation of /r/sffpc

Works great!

Small wifi antennas

Great for portability but they have a problems with packet loss unfortunately.

I used these and they were great. My router was in the same room, though...

i use these without issues. that said, i don't use my onboard bluetooth, so not sure if that's affected. wifi is fine

Yeah, found a pair of stubby ones (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LMRK36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XURVEb2V5X18H) that I like, I don’t like that the current ones stick up over the top of the case

I’m in USA tho.

I've ordered these:

Did you end-up ordering those lollipop antennas? If so, so did they also work at 2.4GHz? Many people recommend these but they aren't available from Amazon UK. I'm getting a B550 Gigabyte MoBo where the sockets are too close together for plugs with an outer casing!

I use these cuties.

The visible antenna was actually an antenna from an old WiFi card. I am using one of these for the WiFi antenna.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LMRK36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_OqrQEbZJYJNTP

They work well but I'm not far from the router so I can't comment on how inferior they are to the normal ones.

Just bought these and plugged them in.

>Why they didn't just stick with those, when they probably still have a shipping-container full of them, I don't understand. They just work better, and they probably still have them and still cannot get rid of them

That type of antenna might get complaints about twisting or also tipping over (then facing down) if they get loose over time.

It's something like this I'm after, if I change: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LMRK36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This with this.

What’s up reddit! Wanted to share my Steck build with you all. Finally downsized from an InWin A1 as I wanted to go even smaller. I was lucky enough to get the deal on that Alienware Aurora R8 on r/buildapcsales a couple of weeks ago so I decided it would be a good opportunity to build something a bit smaller and maybe pawn off some old parts to make a small profit; enough to afford me a Steck at least. I parted it out and took the i7-9700 to put into this new Steck build. (Going to sell the rest of the parts off soon.)

After doing research online, I decided to buy some aluminum bracelet blanks to superglue to my panels in order to have them slide into the case ala the Ghost S1. Credits to the redditor for this mod idea I found out about awhile back! (Can’t find the post anymore) here’s a link to the bracelet blanks.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0195HKKF8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FfUyEbR5665TD

I also bought some replacement feet to give the case a sleeker look. A common mod, but goes a long way in improving the overall look and decreasing the size of the case a bit more. Here’s a link to the pack of rubber feet I bought on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075KZBR2Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The WiFi antennas I’m using (not pictured) can be found on Amazon. Really like the look of these and the performance has been pretty great.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LMRK36?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Shout out to /u/nizzlefish98 for selling me the Steck. It’s been great for me and it’s a huge upgrade over the InWin A1 I’m coming from.

Parts List:

• GPU: Zotac RTX 2060 AMP! Edition
• RAM: 16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX
• CPU: Intel i7-9700
• Cooler: Noctua NH-L12S
• Mobo: Asrock Z370 Phantom Gaming ITX
• Storage: 1tb Crucial P1 M.2 SSD

Yes! It was a great recommendation from someone else in this sub!

these antennas: https://www.amazon.com/Antenna-Dipole-Multicopter-Racing-Quadcopter/dp/B071LMRK36

with these right angle adapters: https://www.amazon.com/BOOBRIE-Coaxial-Adapter-Connector-Antennas/dp/B07DC2374L

Nah I only have two connected to each. For the BCM94360CS, I only have it connected to the wifi cause I didn’t want to go through the trouble of setting up the internal header on the motherboard just to get BT working when I could just use a USB BT adapter I already had laying around.

But yeah, I bought these antennas and some of these, which are connected to the CNVi card on the motherboard I/O cause I wanted something low profile and I just used the stock antenna that came with the motherboard with the BCM94360CS and kinda just have sitting next to my computer.

As for the pci brackets, my suggestion would be to either possibly drill an extra hole into it or buy two brackets with two holes each, or just go with a BCM94360CS.

Just updated the PC part picker as well, but I bought these ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LMRK36/

They perform quite well, better than the previous ones I had. Only thing I had problems with recently was Xbox One Controller having a bit shotty connection (delay / irresponsive), but I can't say for sure if that problem is related to the antennas or not. The controllers have been working completely fine until just recently. Wifi works perfectly fine so far.

I swapped out the internal card to an Intel 9260 this past weekend and I've yet to try out the Bluetooth on it, but I know it has helped my WiFi connectivity. I also changed the antenna to 2 individual mini ones so I'm not sure if that helped as well. I'll try it tonight and report back to you.

It's a mix of 90 degree adapters and these antennas.

I used short antennas for drones instead and they worked! Just make sure you find RPSMA ones if you don’t want to use the ones I have linked below. I didn’t like the way the antennas stuck out perpendicular to the motherboard so I also purchased 90 degree adapters. Enjoy!

I am currently using this, though I also ordered a longer one on it's way that bends to see if there's any difference in speeds.

What I'm using, similar, but shorter: Antenna and right angle adapter.

They have line-of-sight to the AP, so the inefficiency compared to bigger antenna isn't that big of a deal for me. May be in many other setups.

I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LMRK36

They work fine connecting to my Wifi 6 network.

Do you mean like these? NGFF

Or maybe mini PCIE?

Or would you rather just use mini externals?

They're only 2 dbi. I got these:

and these:

My desk isn't too far from my wifi router, so these work great for me. If you're running a wifi 6 router with a wifi 6 adapter, these have surprisingly good range. They're cheap enough to try and see if they work for you.

[These](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LMRK36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) work pretty good. And you can get these [right angle connectors](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DC2374L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) so they don't just stick straight out.

I know most get theirs from this link but it doesnt ship to where I am:

​

So I went looking around and found these in Taobao:

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=606465984967

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=525962770635

​

Based on my tests, I found that the right angle connectors got up to the max speed faster than the straight ones so I'd recommend those.
