The OFFICIAL post pics of your SFF thread...

The build turned out really nice!

A few of my small retro systems (Baby-AT or smaller)

Here is my latest setup...

2080ti and 8700k in the Corsair Crystal 280 mATX case. Was running in an ITX case (Phantek Enthoo ITX) but I reached the airflow limit of that case and temps were not good. Believe it or not, temps are better with this case even with the tempered glass panels choking the airflow.

10" SVGA CRT Monitor came in the other day. Got it all setup

It arrived. Serial # 946, looks like new. Not even sure if the previous owner used it for more than a few minutes. There's not a shred of dust inside the thing, inside the power supply or even under the motherboard tray.

Small update on my Jonsbo U1 Plus build:



Now much better cable managment, tried to hide as many cables as possible, added on bottom a Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fan (I painted the case outside black, because no Chromax series exits yet for this amazing fan). On top at the PSU area I added a 92mm Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM fan (also black painted) to to cool VRM and RAM better and I removed the front USB/audio panel and the 2.5" HDD/SD cage for better airflow. Next step will be to get GTX 1660 or 1660 Ti to replace the GTX 1050 Ti, should be ok with undervolting to keep it cool and silent when I still use the Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fan for the GPU.

Hey! I'm trying to pick CPU heatsink for the same Jonsbo U1 Plus case now.
One important question regarding your Xilence cooler: does it cover RAM slots? I see that you use low profile RAM, but could you please make a closer pick of the heatsink vs. RAM. I'm going to use high profile RAM, so if the heatsink will cover it even for 1 mm I'm afraid it will not fit.
Thanks.

Hi I'm using currently new RAM, G.Skill Trident Z RGB which is higher than the previous RAM. I have 1mm clearence between RAM and CPU heatsink.

I want this

Jonsbo U2 - good airflow and cooling performance for a 60 Euro 15.5l ITX case.

Here's my Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB with Ice Tower and a black aluminum case I just finished. Looks like a shrunk down Lian Li haha.

I just built a mini-ITX with the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with the EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING, in the RAIJINTEK OPHION EVO!
Liquid cooled, great temps, very quiet!


A monster gaming machine. Here the thread of this build.
Enjoy!!!

Got a Thermaltake Tower 100 Mini, which is a lot bigger than I thought it would be... lol. Next to it is my Jonsbo U1 Plus that I moved parts out of.

These cases are really cool. Definitely big. But, cool.

So decided to push a SFF <20L case build to the max for the living room.

Case: Silverstone Sugo 15 + 2x Noctua NF-A12x15 Fans
CPU: AMD 5800X, cooled by Silverstone PF240 + 2xNoctua NF-F12 Industrial 2000RPM
GPU: EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming, limited to 300w/800mV.
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair Impact VIII DTX
RAM: G.Skill 2x32GB Trident Z 4000mhz
Storage: w.d SN850 2TB x 2
PSU: Silverstone SX1000.



Did it work? It was a tight build, clearances around radiator hosing, fans and PSU cables required some creative putting together of parts (i.e. attach PSU cables to GPU, but not to PSU so I had enough space to wedge GPU in, then route to PSU). Also had to use slim NF-A12x15 fans on rear intake and top exhaust, rear intake to give chipset fans on motherboard space to breathe, exhaust I could have wedged a bigger fan, but as the case is already positive pressure, wasn't deemed mandatory.

Setting Radiator fans to intake instead of exhaust did wonders, 5800X isn't going above 50c in most games with an ambient of 20c. Hot air exhausting into case gets rapidly extracted by roof fan+psu fan, and air being blown in by radiator is maybe 35c tops.

GPU in its stock form would hit 83c (temperature limit) and then sit, indicating heatsoak in the case. Dialing voltages back to 800mV, and limiting power to 300w has brought temperatures to not exceed 74c in most workloads. Using Control as a test, I lost 6 fps with the game maxed out including RT by doing so, with case noise being noticeable from 3m away, but in no way loud or distracting.

If I had a choice, I might have looked at another case than the SG15, it is a bit tight to build in. However, not many cases let me use a triple wide card with a DTX motherboard with airflow that makes sense and radiators that are properly placed. Overall airflow in this case is quite good, but I think that the GPU might have trouble exhausting a touch and in no way try to use a normal size PSU in this case, the extra space given by SFX is almost mandatory.

Oh, and the main reason I built this is to play Time Crisis. Could have easily have just bought all four Time Crisis cabs for the same price, but this was a fun project and hey, Time Crisis looks great upscaled to 8k then back to 4k with Geometry Precision + CRT Shaders on a 65" OLED.

Specs in sig.

Rebuilt my Sliger S610. Had to get the GIGABYTE Z690I AORUS ULTRA D4 out of there. Because, it has really annoying, constant coil whine, around the socket or VRMs.

Specs in these pics:

i7-12700k
ASRock Z690 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB4
EK Basic 240mm AIO with Be Quiet! fans and EK's LGA 1700 mount kit
Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (2x16GB) 5600MHz DDR5 CL40
1TB and 2TB Acer Predator GM7000 gen 4 SSD's
Gigabyte RX 6600 XT
Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold

Here is my console style gaming PC with a Sliger CL520. The pics are a couple of months old and I have since cleaned up the wires a bit.

AMD 5600x with a -25 on the PBO curve and stable on a Gigabyte x570i motherboard being cooled with a Noctua L9a Chromax.

Rtx 3080 fe with thermal pad mod and copper memory plate mod. Undervolted to 1850mhz at .950.

PSU is an 850watt Evga sfx.

I'm pretty happy with this build and hope to keep it for a long time. Unfortunately, video card upgrades are going to be tough later on down the road since they want to make them bigger and bigger. This case is strictly 2 slot.

FE cards are ideal for Sliger's console style cases. Direct intake and exhaust!

b650 9800x3d rtx 4080 32GB ddr5 6400 MT/s 360mm aio and the newfangled noctua 120mm intake at the bottom front side and exhaust out the top back side. We use it for 6x upscaled pcsx2, dolphin, and less upscaling for rpcs3 and also for steam games. Wifi 7 seems to be sufficient to stream these from a local network share as a client instead of clogging up the SSD in the machine though we do install pc games all the roms are streamed from upstairs. I dislike the yellow innards of the usb ports on the front, do any of you more creative people have a non-destructive idea for making them matte black like the rest of it?

Looks like a painted fractal Terra. Unless they’ve started offering it in that style of white.

It's a silver Fractal Terra. It just looks white in the photo.

should post my wife's new build in the lian-li a4 h20 build.

I have two of these. One is running Bluestacks so I can 24/7 click a mobile game, CIFI. The other, here, will be setup to do...something. I dunno what.

Intel Core i7-7700T @ 2.9ghz
16gb ram
1tb nvme
Onboard gpu - It cannot run crysis.

Here's one I been running for awhile. I just installed a Linkup brand PCIe 5.0 riser cable.

I assume the wood top I got, will warp at some point. I painted the backside with heat paint for a BBQ.
If it does warp: the same guy does plastic panels. I'll get one in smoked clear.

3D printed mount for power supply. Because the stock mount isnt ventilated well.

4070 ti super

9800x3D

Custom 12VHPWR cable for the GPU. Its like 4 inches long

Cooler Master Atmos stealth AIO with the pump top cover removed.
Using some Enermax fans which are supremely quiet. 9800X3D doesnt need high airflow.

Im aware the GPU isnt level. Thats how it screws up to the PCI bracket. I kept the riser mount slightly loose, and tightened it last. So, its all connected tightly.

Its either that, or the case gets flexed from forcing the bracked to mount with the card level.

The particular fans on this GPU are totally fine being very close to the vent holes. No added noise to speak of. And the GPU only peaks 2C hotter than a previous case with a lot more GPU fan space

Not a great case for SSD thermals.

I got an adjustable desk for school, and the rigs are finally situated. Figured I would post them up since they are sff.

I regret buying that console style case back in 2022 (Sliger CL520). I wish I had gone with a sandwhich style instead.
