So there's 5 hours left in the Kickstarter, congrats on reaching the goal! I think we're all very excited to get our hands on this case. Do we have any more clear pictures of the white finish? Most of the comparison images I see are renders and not real cases. You say it's a bit more glossy than...
That Sweclockers water-cooling build looks awesome so far. Are the (what I'm assuming acrylic) side panels something you're looking at? I didn't see that in the renders you made for the poll. I think a lot of people who intend on doing water cooling would prefer that over a window cut into the...
Do you mean leaving off the bottom fan and only using the top fan? If so that will be impossible. All tests done with the L12 are with the bottom fan on and the top fan off, leaving almost no room between the heatsink and the side panel. If you were to leave the bottom fan off and replace that...
I think Pashalski was half-pitching the idea of a solid metal side panel without ventilation, given that he already mentioned solid and ventilated glass side panels. So Greyhound was arguing that whoever doesn't want side ventilation is using water cooling and would therefore would want to show...
You do. There if you want the case and like what you see then you should back it to get one and hope it reaches its funding goal. You don't have to worry about the project not getting full funding and basically losing money with nothing in return.
It's a pull, which I believe is the stock orientation of the cooler. The idea is that all cool air is brought in from the sides of the case (CPU, GPU, PSU) and hot air either passively rises through the top, or you place fans in a top hat to pull hot air out the top.
This is as close as I could find to the RAM restrictions. I don't know where the bottom point of the heatsink in the picture sits in relation to the height of the RAM off the board, but it should give you some kind of clue. Someone here might have the exact number...
The newer model NH-L12s does NOT fit in this case. Right now it seems one of the best coolers to get is the NH-L12 before the revision. You could probably find one on eBay if you wanted. Here are the tests they did with other CPU coolers. Looks like the next best option is a Shuriken with a...
Open air. I have a Gigabyte 1080 ti and 7700k, and I'll be using the SF600 as well when I get the case (I have a standard ATX PSU now). Ideally the five fans (3 GPU, CPU, PSU) will be the "intake" of the machine, and two slim noctuas in a top hat would be the exhaust. I'll at least have that set...
Yeah I'm definitely not doing water cooling. I mean I 100% plan to have at least one small top hat with two 120mm slim fans on top for exhaust, my only question would be if it'd be worth the extra $$ for the top hat (on the bottom) plus two more fans. If the temp difference is nonexistent or...
I'm in the same boat as you, and I don't think we have the numbers to back up the benefits of fans on both the top and bottom, but I'd assume that any amount of extra airflow helps. That's what I plan to do anyway, four slim noctua fans on the top and bottom.
