I know a lot of ppl on the forums were debating the PSU - it's a SFX form factor gold-rated 450W unit from silverstone. Especially the jumper-pin type connections for the front panel power button and LED's, they are hard to reach. I think if I were to do it again, I'd probably populate the board 1st before putting it in the case.small cases and mini-ITX just makes maneuvering anything after you've bolted the board in place a gigantic pain. Which probably speaks to how well components are standardized these days. Hrm, build notes? Sadly, I'm not that detailed, so all I could remember was that I just plugged all the different pieces in and it seemed to work.much more seamlessly than I expected. Honestly, I'm not the best builder so the heat paste might have been a tad thickish and I might have dropped the heatsink on the mobo by accident a cpl of times.but hey, it's running fine AFAIK Not absolutely silent, but not loud either, until the GPU starts going. I've tried a more aggressive fan curve on eVGA Precision X that keeps it in the 70s max but it gets a tad loud-ish. BF4 gpu hits ~85c on stock fan settings, where it hits 62%. Not sure if it's actually doing anything.

I'm sure the SG05 or SG08 gets a little better cooling due to the large diameter/low RPM case fans those things are designed around, but eh, haven't really had problems with this case.ġ samsung 830 SSD + 750 gb 2.5" Toshiba spinny left over from a macbook pro drive upgradeĬooler was the noctua NH-L12 - had to put it on upside down/heat pipes up which is not recommended by manufacturer.temps look like they are 29-31C idle, ~58-62c after ~5 mins of prime95 mixed before i got bored and quit the program.Įxtra fan is a Noctua 120mm pwm in front.kinda felt like maybe I should something there. Meant really for water cooling but I'm happy w/ air so far. The only main gripes so far is I'm not a huge fan of the tool less side panels - always afraid I'm going to break one of the pegs or something, and I'm bad at stripping the screws on aluminum cases, but I don't think I really did that too badly.(yet). I really like it, especially the aesthetics and the size. its not how the hoses ended up.Picked up one of these from another forum member who had extras.paid probably too much for a case so I'm a bit embarrassed, but definitely less than what they are going for in ebay! Fortunately, I think they are popular enough that the designers are thinking about doing a second run/rev2. its not how the hoses ended up.its the only pic i had of the moboĮdit: second picture was me mocking up hoses trying to min max space available. I wanted to make something difficult and relatively unique.Įdit: second picture was me mocking up hoses trying to min max space available. I know some will say something like I copied that youtuber but that's fine. The inside of this case is ridiculously crowded.īig downside is i think because of the turbulence in the case (all fans are pull), this thing is very loud even at low ckily I am a bit hard of hearing so its not too bad for me.
GPU PCIE cable are ridiculous and wont fit in the case but i have some customs on order I will swap in. not sure why but I am not worried for now. when gaming its at about 60C idle about 43C (ryzen 3800X). Temps are good with the 2080ti FE running at about 50C on Heaven at max settings 1140p (35C idle)ĬPU is strange though. Yes there is about a 5mm gap between the lower rad fans and GPU but there are no real issues. If i need to test it i can cross connect the quick disconnects to run the loop on the lower rad only Using alpha cool quick disconnects on top rad to get access to the mobo. Sorry about the crap photos i didn't build it with the intention of logging the build. I choose to do something difficult for my first time and it was not easy. Just finished my first water cooled build.
