Not bad and definitely interesting. I always thought that the "Scyscraper-Layout" is kind of more space efficient because the footprint on your desk is smaller. Looking promising, can't wait for render pics and more details. I just hope the volume won't increase that much. Good job!
Does anyone know where i can buy better case feet and power button here in europe? dondan di say something about this a while ago but i can't find any updates on that :/
dondan i have one question about the top grill: if I will rotate the case, fans on the top side, will they have enough space and holes to properly exhaust the hot air?
I'm talking about the yellow area.
Well.. it's gorgeous and i want one, what more can i say?
Also, the side panel behind the the motherboard will be all perforated or just the PSU area or not perforated at all?
I need this cooler so much.... all this waiting makes me go crazy at this point.
I'm glad we have people like dondan that are shifting the industry in the SFF direction, without him maybe we would never had such a cooler in a big manufacturer mind let alone making one. Thank you!
To be honest i like both versions as long as the overall design of the case and the feet (man, i love those case feet design) won't change. Can't wait to see the prototypes !
dondan any news about those "new", better grip case feet, where and when we can buy them? I'm searching for something better for a while but i can't find anything.
Also an update on my last post, testing done. I was really impressed by the results 3-5°C cooler on idle and 8-10°C load with the...
On the cooler side of things, i made a custom fan duct for my motherboard.
With the cardboard prototype temps were 2°C lower on idle and 5°C on full load.
I will mount the 3D printed version today (just arrived 30m ago) and i will let you guys know how much the temps dropped.
dondan do you think it would be viable to make 2 versions of this case, one for water cooling and one for air cooling?
With the total added space of 55mm you could fit 2 fans at the top and 2 at the bottom for a total of 4 fans. Or just 2 fans at the bottom/top (however you flip the case) and a...
dondan I agree with you, and after some explanition and clarification the only thing that is worth considering changing is the fan hight compatibility (but you did that already) maybe +10mm for 25mm fans (the new noctua high static presure fans are verry promising). I don’t see any point for...
I like the main concept behind this case, cold air sucked in on one side and hot air exahusted on the other like a perfect sealed duct, but i think the design and the cooling would really take advantage of the Vlad502 first 2 pictures suggestion. The hot air that rises it would be exahusted out...
My right side panel is about 1-1.5mm offset(downwards) and about 1mm in the top-front corner. I tried everything, screws no screws and is does stay the same.
Maybe add screws to the back of the case (like on the bottom of the panels)?
I don't really care. As long as the HSLP-48 is 10-15°C cooler then C7 or NH-L9i inside the case (DAN A4-SFX) I will buy it. After all this is the goal, in perfect condition (test bench) many coolers perform good but in "real world" few manage to stay at the top.
Looking forward to more tests and...
That's a thing i would like too. 99% of the GPU's out there will be too high and will not align with the side panel perforation and the button ones are not cooling anything (except the riser). I don't know if there is enough room to lower the whole GPU assembly (it might interfere with the PSU...
It seems like the Lian-Li prototype is higher quality, the heatpipes bends are more refined, more solider on the contact with the fins and also the base finish. Let's see how it will perform.
Thanks for the answer, what position do you recommend/use?
One more thing, if you take feedback for the future version of the case - would you take in consideration putting a headphone jack in the from of the case on the future 1.1 version? i was one of the people that voted against that in the...
dondan, what's the correct positioning of the 3M raiser cable, on the back of the GPU or behind the motherboard? Mine did come (from the box/factory) on the motherboard side, so i mounted it over the raiser but now i'm actually worried about not puncturing it with the C7 mounting screws because...
I buyed it second hand (almost 20$ cheaper). I was so happy...
Well i will try smaller standoffs and a slimmer fan until i can foun a Nexus alternative in Europe.
Is not mine, i found it here.
I'm asking myself the same thing, maybe is just the pins-closing-system with few mm tolerance and maybe it goes away when you put the screws in.
