    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Those temps are way better than mine, i will try to reseat the cooler again later this week. Maybe i'll try using less thermal paste - though i used the same amount as usual.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I had to dismantle the water loop in my M1 V1 a few months ago to scavenge the Titan for a mixed-SLI project (that kinda worked, but wasn't perfect), and now that the 1080's are coming I'm planning to get one for my M1 build - i wanted to stay on air this time though. I managed to find and buy a...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    Hmmm, this would make pipe routing really difficult though, they woudl have to pass under the GPUs somehow. I guess the best option would be to just go with full air cooling - a 700W SFX-L, 4770K, Noctua C14S or similar.

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    Thanks for the answers. So essentially, with a SFX-L air cooling seems the most reasonable way to go in this case, that's a bit disappointing. With a regular PSU, is it possible to install a 240/280 in the bottom with another 240/280 in the front? Also, what is the clearance for the CPU cooler...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    This case is just what i want (no, need) - sorta kinda M1-style mATX. Got a few questions though, apologies if there are answers earlier in the thread, I admit I didn't have time to read it all. 1. I assume there is no space for a slim ODD anywhere? Not an issue, just wondering. 2. My goal would...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    For me it was enough to install the front screws first, and rear screws second (V1 chassis, V4 fan bracket).

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I wouldn't count on noise reduction really. Sample of one, so ymmv, but my rig is quite noisy under load (H220 with 2 Noctuas on a 4770 and a Titan with an EK block). In idle it's mostly noise from the PSU fan, but it would be the same on air anyway. Not to discourage you from building it of...

    Best SFF ATX

    Off the shelf, the NZXT S340 would be my choice, at 38 liters it's reasonably small for an ATX. Not exactly SFF though...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    No, a single 2.5" in the front inside mount. ODD in the front outside mount. Like in my current setup, but with a different shaped rad:

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    A quick question - is it possible to use an EKWB Coolstream PE 240 rad with a front mounted HDD? I'm in the process of moving my gear to a new flat, so can't really check myself. I know that with my current H220 it was a very tight fit, and the PE 240 seems to be slightly larger.

    2.6l ITX HTPC build - Chieftec IX-03B

    Nope - have a look at the opening for the mobo backplate: Maaaaybe if the GPU was rotated 90*, but even then i don't think it would fit.

    2.6l ITX HTPC build - Chieftec IX-03B

    Why not NUC? Three reasons: 1. It's a budget build - the whole system above cost me a total of ~140€, plus RAM and HDD from my parts bin. At this price point, I'd be looking at a NUC with an Atom or ULV Celeron at best. 2. Parts commonality - as far as I know, all NUCs use SODIMMs, I don't...

    2.6l ITX HTPC build - Chieftec IX-03B

    Hello there, Ever since moving my main rig to small form factor, I've been looking for a smallest possible box to house a budget HTPC in. A few days ago i found this: Chieftec IX-03B. It was pretty cheap (~50€ including a 90W Pico-PSU and a power brick), so I decided to give it a go. The...

    Which M.2 on ITX

    Not sure if it's the same for every M.2 socket, but the one on Asus M6 Impact has no screws, you just stick a card in the socket.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    With a H220 you can only fit a single drive at the front mount. I have a 9.5mm one installed atm, i don't think a 12mm would fit.
