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

    Could it be glue? GN did a tear down of the FE reference cooler and he needed a heat gun to melt a ton of glue on the shroud, but that was plastic.

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

    Interesting... I hadn't considered that limitation. Maybe the best combo will be 1 AIO and 1 air-cooled. Will just have to wait and see.

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

    In anticipation for a Nova dual-GPU build, would you guys agree with this ranking (in order of best cooling-to-noise ratio): 1. 2x AiO liquid cooling (Corsair HG10 or equivalent) 2. 2x Standard-fans (EVGA ACX or equivalent) 3. 2x Blower-style (Reference design) (4. feasible or utter insanity?)...

    Dell U3415W discussion - 21:9 UltraWide (3440x1440)

    Always been a fan of Dell monitors. This one is tempting indeed, but I'm trying to wait for the Asus/Acer G-SYNC 75hz panels. Should be an interesting comparison.

    Smaller, curved 21:9 1080p from LG

    Has anyone tried this monitor yet? I'd like to hear people's opinions on curved 29".

    Silverstone SX700-LPT 700W Platinum SFX-L

    I gotta agree with mazzy80 here. Any case that has room for dual GPUs should easily accommodate a full ATX PSU. I'm happy with my SX500-LG in the M1, but it's an extremely tight fit. If SilverStone came out with an improved SX600-G, I would consider replacing it. This SX700-LPT is a pass for me.

    NCASE M1 v3 Build Thread

    The trickiest part to consider is the clearance between the GPU and PSU connectors. Don't screw in the PSU to the case yet. Plug in all the modular PSU connectors you need first. You need to bend all those cables up as and secure them somehow. Because of my H100i, I had to get those...

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    I want to at least jump in here and say that Silverstone is pretty much my only option for a 500W+ SFX(L) power supply. For that alone I'm appreciative. I held off on the SX600-G only because I knew the SX500-LG was coming out with an emphasized effort on reducing noise. Had the SX500 not been...

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    IIRC there was a site selling custom cables with shorter connectors for the SX600-G. Anyone know where those were, and if they're compatible with the SX500-LG?

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    FWIW, I couldn't be happier with my SX500-LG. I'm using a H100i in a push configuration (blowing the radiator heat outside the case) and the only time the PSU fan turns on is when my GPU heats up. The H100i does an exceptional job of keeping the PSU in silent fanless mode otherwise. I also...

    NCASE M1 v3 Build Thread

    I suspected as much, thanks for the info. I'll look into the custom filters I saw from the other thread.

    NCASE M1 v3 Build Thread

    How do you use the fan filters? They seem to be a twist-and-lock mechanism but I couldn't find anything for it. Specifically, I want to attach them to the bottom of the case since I plan on using a blower style GPU.

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    i5-4690K and GTX 670 OK so here's my findings. Out of the 5 "Gigabyte Motherboard Temps", only 2 of them changed when I switched from P95 to 3DMark. GB MB Temp 0: Increased from 35 C to 42 C GB MB Temp 2: Decreased from 69 C to 30 C So Temp 0 should be related to the ambient temp, and Temp 2...

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    I don't have an accurate way to measure my ambient temp, but I have P95 burning my CPU right now and they're running at 80 C. And then according to Corsair Link, I have some "Gigabyte Motherboard Temps" but I don't know what they refer to: Gigabyte Motherboard Temp 0: 35 C Gigabyte Motherboard...
