Now my Slimline have two USB 3.0 front ports. I bought a cheap Aliexpress USB 3.0 front header to replace broken USB 2 front ports You need cut with a razor blade or a knife a plastic cover to fit the header on the shroud and add tape or glue to prevent some movement when you plug something on...

New upgrade. I decided remove the metal piece of the case between pci brackets to see if that improves thermals (considering the blower style fan, this card needs have clear the exhaust grill to push hot air outside fast as posible) The metal spacer between 1st and second pci express slot blocks...

A look to the inside If you buy the AXP 100 look carefully the Motherboard you want to use it In my case the Z490GTN dont allow to mount it on every position The fix to fit the heatsink was bend the cooler to have clearance (VRM and RAM block the cooler) Or buy a ram without heatink, its the...

I rebuild my Slimline because the motherboard and PSU died on a storm with multiple shutdowns. This time picked a Intel CPU because Ryzen processors and Motherboards are expensive My new specs: Core i5 11400F with 45 watts TDP Limit (runs similar to 10400F, but 11gen has PCIE 4.0 lanes,a...

Ok i think finally found the best noise/performance/airflow setup for this case To someone who try to reuse this little box on the future, without spending a lot of money trying to reach to the same goal: If you find a way to mod the HP S3000 stock cooler to fit on Intel 1200/AM4 socket, with...

I installed again the AMD 92mm fan, and remove the delta fan because the PSU feels cold even with maximum energy load All the fresh air coming from the 92mm enter by the grill of the PSU and keep the components cold. If you are tired of the noise from the Flex ATX PSU, you can use a Noctua...

Hi I replaced the Gammax 300 cooler, because there no clearance with the side door and that produces turbulence , increasing the real dB fan noise. My repleacement was a Thermalright AXP 100 Full Copper with Eloop B12P 120mm fan locked @1400rpm, 17dB and 50-58°C on CPU intesive games Its really...

Hello again, i bought a new cpu cooler, The fan started making some annoying noises and someone told me its caused by the fan, its too close to the side panel this produce turbuleces which amplifies the DBa of the fan. So i choosed the Thermalright AXP 100 Full Cooper, its only 44mm tall (vs...

My Shuttle PC60 start failing some days ago No matter which game i tried to play the system reboots instantly Thankfully i kept the Shuttle PC63J , used on a older pc build With the stock shroud the PC63J dont let me put back the motherboard, the PSU its too big and block one screw hole for the...

Look on Aliexpress , you can find cheap but decent motherboards for Xeon processors if you wanna try on the future a new build. The VRM s on this case suffers if they arent cooled with a decent heasink, my X470NH motherboard shows 58-63°C with a copper heasink playing games I set the cpu fan...

Windows version isnt the factor you cant install the updated BIOS, If the the meta info inside the BIOS update doesnt match...

With the stock cooler you gonna fry the CPU and VRM's if you put a 95 watts TDP procesor inside this tiny case To keep VRM on safe temps with a 65 watts TDP processor, i spent 40 bucks on a high performance cooler, Because with the stock Ryzen cooler, altough the CPU temps stays safe, the...

I use dental floss with alcohol, with some force the proccesor thankfully came out with success And all pins are ok.

I received today thermakright TFX thermal paste The results was insane,considering my previous TP isnt a bad one CM Master Gel Maker (but now thinking maybe i got a dry unit of the Gel Maker, because the CPU and the cooler glued together when i reaplace the thermal paste, and the last apply was...

I added a thermalpad to the SSD NAND's and controller, and now the temps dropped 10c (before 55c- after 45c) Plus i put 4 cooper pads to the motherboard's VRM, Biostar heatsink only covers 4 VRM , 1 of the left side and 2 of the top dont have any heatsink With the pads now all the VRM are...

After 6 months i can say my Slimline its now 100% like i wanted I removed the stock fan of the CPU heatsink (Gamemax Gama 300 if someone want to know the exact model) Because Gamemax stock fan was noisy under load, so i take the Arctic fan i bought it before and fits perfect, now the noise its...
