What Ryzen CPU did you go with?

I found the supplier for my cables over at cable-sleeving.com. From a quick glance it doesn't seem like there is a supplier mentioned for Norway. Maybe import fees from another country is cheaper? I don't really know. Also you could look if there are any private people who offer to make custom...

The fan height depends on the PSU you use. In my case (pun not intended), I can only fit a fan not thicker than 20mm between the bottom of the case and the lowest power-cable that comes out of my PSU (Silverstone SX800-LTI). Also, keep in mind that you can only use 90/92mm fans when you have a...

Well, not from factory: https://imgur.com/gallery/v0ud4

What temps do you get rfarmer? I am still looking for a good alternative to my Wraith spire, it can get a bit loud, and the 92mm fan is just too small to keep other mainboard components cool.

It does, but I had to remove the upper plastic shroud around the fan (the one with the AMD Logo in it). The big advantage of doing so is that the LED-ring now iluminates the whole motherboard-side of the case, giving it a nice RGB shine. :)

The 24-Pin Connector is 200mm The 4+4 Pin EPS Connector is 250mm The 8-Pin PCIe is 300mm And the SATA is PSU -- 100mm --> SATA -- 150mm --> SATA -- 3mm --> Sata I was very surprised when I asked him this. First, I wanted to go with a 50mm cable between them so that I could put a little loop...

So I want to post a little update on my MI-6 build. Next to HDD space and a more decent CPU-cooler, I wanted to upgrade the PSU cables for 1) a better visual look of the system (if it is opened, you don't see anything with the side panel on lol) and 2) better air circulation. The old...

This looks so tight! Nice fit. Guess that spices things up a bit in the PPL thread ;) I ordered some custom PSU-cables which arrived yesterday. Already built them in and took some fotos, gonna post a little update ASAP.

Hello everyone, I want to upgrade my SFF-build, and start with the CPU cooler. I build inside the CCD MI-6. A lot of other people who have build a PC in that specific case, including the creator himself, recommend to use the Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B, because it has a high TDP of 130W, it...

Little Update: Thanks to Amazon Prime Day I was able to purchase NFS Payback quite inexpensive. But that game came with two big problems: The first one was that the game usually freezes my whole PC after 15 min of gaming whith an oced CPU. After disabling the 3.7 GHz on my Ryzen, it ran well...

Thanks

What AIO did you install?

I didn't notice any throttling while gaming, but just to be sure I just ran Heaven Benchmark three times. It started with 55°C and around 1860 MHz, and ended after the third run with 78°C and an average of around 1797 MHz. But I think this depended on the load on the GPU, since I still saw some...

Sorry for the late answer. The GTX 1080 stays under ~75/80°C with the stock cooler shroud, but is very loud. I changed the stock fan for a Noctua NF-A9x14, which is held on by 4 bended paper clips. It's much quieter now, temps don't go over 84°C, but there is a whistling sound when the...

Oh OK, sorry.

Wow, I never heard of the AORUS Gaming Box version... this looks amazing. It seems to be the same heatsink as on the standard GTX 1080 ITX, but the bigger fan could really help with temps... Have you run any benchmakrs to proof that? For now I have attached a Noctua NF-A9x14 to my 1080, it fits...

Tek Everything made a Review of the MI-6 today

Thanks for the answers!

Two more questions: how did you mount the fan on the heat sink? Do the stock mounting wires from the Shuriken fit the 140 mm fan? And how is the ram clearance with the cooler on the mobo?

That's the exact same link I found. I don't know if it is visible, I might edit my post a bit.

If anyone is interested it might be possible to mount the Big Shuriken 2 on an AM4 Board: https://imgur.com/gallery/v0ud4. I am tempted to try this out on my build, since the Big Shuriken 2 could be better in the MI-6 than for example the NH L9x65 due to its bigger fan and better clearance...

What are your temps with the 8700K and the Big Shuriken Cooler? Do you have direct die cooling or just changed out the thermal paste under the heatspreader?

Well, there was exactly half a millimeter of the PCIE connector that wasn't going under the little white latch of the riser cables socket. I guess it was just a bad angle to fit everything at once, the GPU slot at the back and the PCIE connector.

oh ok, don't know if that was the reason, now everything fits perfectly. I think the problem wasn't the backplate, I couldn't fit the right side of the PCIE connector into the riser cable while it was still fixed in the case. I haven't detected any interference with the rubber bumpers.

Thanks for the answer :) I don't really want to cut the original cables, I neither trust myself nor my fingers enough. I was looking around, and I could buy PSU cables with desired connectors and length from cablemod, wich would get rid of the excess of cables and would bring better airflow...

Hello everyone, I received my MI-6 a week ago and thought I could share my build in it. Specs: Biostar X370GTN Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.7 GHz 32 GB G.Skill RipJaws V @ 2933 MHz, CL 16-18-18-38 Gigabyte GTX 1080 Mini ITX 8 G 525 GB Crucial MX300 M.2 SSD 2 TB Seagate 5400 rpm HDD 800W Silverstone...

I could but I'm not quiet sure wether to trust Aliexpress or not...

Thanks for that recommendation. The IS-60 sounds promising, but it isn't available anywhere here in Europe.

Unfortunately the Big Shuriken 2 has no AM4 compatable mounting bracket, and the L9x65 is 66mm tall with the AM4-Bracket from Noctua, meaning that it nearly touches the side panel of the case. I can imagine that this would lead to very loud and slightly less cooling performance. So for my Ryzen...

As I said in my other post, there are also some 120x20 fans. I looked at the NH-L9x65-Clearance-Graphic on page 1. Between the fan and the case there is a 3mm gap. The Shuriken being 58mm tall, without fan 46mm, compared to the Noctuas 65mm, you could fit an 20mm thick fan onto the heatsink. The...

or you could try and fit maybe the Yate Loon D12SL-12C inside (Didn't search for long, maybe there are more fans in that specific size). Because the heatsink of the Shuriken cooler being 5mm lower than on the NH-L9x65 (without fan), you could use that extra space to fit an 120x120x20 mm fan in...

Looking at the graphs the Shuriken 2 gets better temperatures than the noctua cooler. So would you recommend it over the NH-L9x65? Is there enough room to swap out the fan on the Shuriken to a more quieter or powerfull one? Love the pics and the stats, and can't wait to get my own Case! Nice...

This is so awesome!!! I already have the 1070, and dont want to change it. But do you think it would be realistic that they could release the 1080 ti in the exact same footprint? The smallest right now is the 1080 Ti Mini from Zotac at 211 mm (8.3 in). The 90mm fan maybe wont be enough for...

Yep sounds good!

Although I really love the look of the bend on the front of the case - much more elegant -, personally, I prefer the first render with the bend at the top, because of the same reasons Brian_R170 mentioned. Nevertheless, the nameplate for the case looks amazing. I hope everything with the fab...

I really love the look of the Power-Buttons! Can't wait for the first run.

I'm sorry, I mean the Wraith Spire, the Ryzen 7 1700 stock cooler. It should be 109x103x54

ok, so a Wraith cooler should have more than enough space. Thanks for the shematic!

It looks awesome! If I looked right you have a Noctua Cooler inside? How much space is between the fan and the sidecover?
