Quick question: With a standard 2-slot height GPU set up in the bottom two pci slots (using a riser cable), is it possible to put slim 120mm fans (think prolimatech ultrasleeks or scythe slipstream slims) below the gpu? I understand that if it is possible, it'd be extremely tight.
Yeah, there are slots that the wires slip into that automagically cut into the insulation to make contact. I'm not going to say all sata power connectors are like that, but all of them that I've ever seen on my modular PSUs are like that.
If you don't mind cannibalizing power cables, you can do what this guy did and make a custom cable to specifically fit 2 drives and (possibly) a slim ODD.
I've done essentially the same thing (sorry, no pics at the moment), but instead of terminating in a traditional sata power connector for...
Unsure if this has been posted or not, but this is something that I'll definitely be looking to buy before long. The placement of the USB3.0 header on the Asus Impact VI is in an already poor position (right next to the PSU), but combined with the stupidhuge default USB3.0 header, it's...
I actually made that entry in the doc. I have the Strix 970 in a V3, and instead of cutting the pcb on the gpu, I modified the case itself (which may or may not appeal to some people). I removed the back pin socket, cut a small portion of the socket out, and had to remove the ball of the back...
Just finished migrating into my M1, apologies for potato picture.
CPU: Intel 4770k (stock clock)
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-L9i
MOBO: Asus Maximus VI Impact
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 970 (it fits with some slight engineering)
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500gb
HDD: WD 1TB Black
PSU: Silverstone...
If (when) I buy an sx500-lg next month for my new M1, I'll likely replace the stock fan with one of these if it's not as quiet as I'd like. I'll post again with results if it turns out well, or even if it doesn't (again, this'll be at least a month away, unless someone else performs a similar...
Would it be possible to fit another 2.5" drive between the sfx psu and the front of the enclosure? Right below the push pin, there might just be enough room, unless the bracket that supports the psu is too narrow.
