I cut the two led cables and put a 100k Ohm trim potentiometer (variable resistor) in and can adjust exactly to the brightness I needed. So 100k Ohm is (after some trying) the right number, and they cost some cents. Actually everything between 70 and 120k Ohm should do fine. best regards mariachi76

Yep. Its just not mini. regards mariachi76

The PSU-fan was facing downwards, but taking air from inside the case. So the aifrolo was: Geminii->CPU-Fan blowing upwards blowing into the PSU-fan->PSU-> outside. But the PSU got too hot. 2. Isn't the cpu fan supposed to blow the air into the heatsing and in the mainboard? Well, either way...

Hi, I had SG06 a I7-2600K on the Zotac H67-ITX and a AMD 6850 with a Coolermaster GeminII Swith PSU-fan blowing upwards into the PSU. GeminII S is about as good as the prolimatech samuel. My config uses about 250W under full load (8xprime and furmark). However, the PSU got extremely hot at...

Another PSU (450W ST45SF) is on the way. I think the PSU simply overheated with the high load, and the CPU fan blowing the hot air directly into the PSU. If I plug the PSU into the socket and turn it on, the fuse blows -> I guess it is the PSU not the mobo/gpu. However, I hope the mobo/gpu...

I'll try when my system works again (PSU is damaged)

If you bend the GeminII S just a little bit with your hands it doesn't block the PCIe for example on the Zotac H67-ITX. Just need some insulation in between. regards mariachi76

I do have some noise with headphones on the front panel

I just built a SG06-300W system with a Zotac H67-ITX, a I7-2600K and an MSI 6850. I made a full load test with Prime and Furmark together, and after about 2 minutes the PSU shut down and is dead now. PSU-Fan was facing down, and it seems the hot air of the CPU-cooler/fan was too much for it. I...

Any other comments? Maybe rather personal experience or technically more sound information than just an opinion? regards mariachi76

Hello, I am thinking about making a raid 0 with two OCZ Vertex 3 120gb drives. I would use an onboard JMicron 36x 6GB/s SATA controller. However, I am not sure if real-life performance is much better than with a single drive. Also the unability to use the strip command might be an issue...

Which CPU cooler are you using? Cooler dimensions might further limit your choice. A cheap µ-atx is here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Compucase-6T10-Mini-Tower-Chassis-Support-Micro-ATXM-B-/320682464063?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopComponents_RL&hash=item4aaa2a133f regards mariachi76

It depends on the plastic. With a part of a PET-bottle (your normal coke bottle) you should do fine. It melts above 230°C, and your CPU cooler probably wont get hotter than 80°C.

Whatever plastic/foam you have lying around. You just have to avoid any short circuit on your graphics card caused by the heat pipes.

Just don't forget to put some sort of insulation between the heatpipes of the CPU cooler and your graphics card!

I don't have the zotac board yet, but I do have the geminii and did lots of measurements. It should fit by about half a millimeter :-). But if needed you can slightly bend the cooler. So in total: Yes, you can make it fit, and i think it is the best cooler for that board. You can also use the...

Silverstone TJ08 is the smallest mATX case (in terms of volume). It is a mini tower. regards mariachi76

Techreport.com made an excellent review of the Zotac H67-ITX motherboard: http://techreport.com/articles.x/20290 regards mariachi76

Do you have any issues running these components with the st45sf psu under full load? Like chirping or other noise? See "St45 sf total crap" thread in this forum. Regards, Mariachi76

My link works here. But it is to the h67. There is no P67 yet. regards mariachi76

And an english review at bit-tech http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/motherboards/2011/01/21/zotac-h67-itx-review/1 regards mariachi76

Tanks a lot for that, it is good to see that mounting the hdd like that fits, and that it has been done before. Awesome build by the way, I'll for sure post mine whe it's ready. Regards, mariachi76

In the Q08 the additional space is mostly occupied by a 5,25" odd and a ATX PSU. What exatcly didn´t fit into the SG05? I am askin because I also have to decide between the two cases for my new build I will start in about 2 weeks. regards mariachi76

Why did you change from the SG05 to the Lian Li Q08? regards mariachi76

I see, thanks for that. It seems it can be removed easily with a dremel. regards mariachi76

I would flip the PSU anyway. I plan to use a geminII or a geminII S (have both at home). I will remove the 8cm fan of the psu, cut away most of the fan grill and put a 12cm fan into the PSU (with half of it being out of the PSU). or The latter one (GeminII) might be a bit more difficult...

Looks good. But a hdd is 5.75 inches long, so the "about" part of the 6 inches could be important :-). In summary, I want to have 2 SSDs (raid 0) and one 3,5" hdd in the case, and without blocking the airflow. Additionaly, I want to mount the hdd vibrationproof somehow. Up to now, I see three...

You mean like that? If there is enough space between the cooler and the right side (as should be with the layout of most 1155/1156 itx boards with cpu socket close th PCIe), it might work. Did anybody ever try that? Or could somebody measure that? regards mariachi76

Thanks, you helped me a lot. This means that a 3,5" hdd will not fit there since it is 102 mm broad. Mabe if I mod the front (make a hole so the side of the hdd is basically outside. This might work in an SG06 with the larger front.) Its a pity, because in the standard position, the hdd...

Could you - or somebody else - measure the distance between the edge of the motherboard and the front side (inside under the fan), and eventually also the distance from the right side to the graphics card? It would be much appreciated. Also the distance between the base of the case and the...

But I might buy another motherboard later, or use the CPU in my second computer later on. And the price difference is about 15€ at the moment. regards mariachi76

Sure, the more watt the better. But the 450W PSU seems to have issues with at least some people here (see the "ST45SF All Crap" thread in this forum). I`d hope for some input of somebody who really tested one or both PSUs in a similar configuration. regards mariachi76

Hello, I am planning for the following build: * H67 ITX board (Zotac?) * I7-2600K (no overclocking) * 2x4 GB Ram * AMD 6850 standard, no overclocking * 2x SSD, 1xHDD, 1x Slim BD Rom And I have to decide between the 300W and the 450W PSU. Does anbody have a system with equally...

A first review can be found here: http://www.funkykit.com/component/content/article/51-motherboards/7027-review-zotac-h67-itx-wifi-motherboard.html It seems to be a good performer. UEFI bios is confirmed. Regards, mariachi76

Thats what I am saying. You can only increase BCLK, but this affects all the system (Memory, PCIe...) and you will run into stability issues very soon. With multiplier changes, an i7-2600K would go up to 5.0 GHz with appropriate air cooling. However, H67 does not support multiplier changes...

The H67 can not really overclock. You can just increase the frequency about 3 to 5 %, risking an unstable system. But you can not change the multiplier of the CPU with a H67 board, which is the way a Sandy Bridge CPU needs to be overclocked. regards mariachi76

Tanks for clarification. After all, your suggestion of two external drives might be the easier (and cheaper) solution. Regards, mariachi76
