From the slack:
US is still on track and we estimate the shipments to be sent to North and south america around November 15:th
Europe. The cases are currently in our distributors hands and we they will start shipping them late this week and get all out by next week
Directs, we just got off...
And today's update:
We are close, waiting for Taiwan to come back with the last details, then we should be able to sign! Also we have prepared a number of emails that will go out to various groups, slackers, first dibsers, KS backers with TopHats, KS backers without TopHats, newsletter...
As of 5:00 PM Eastern Time (aka NYC time):
We just finished the calls with both suppliers, still some questions that need answering, we will make the decision in the morning when we have gotten them. Price is secondary, quality is our first priority, long term, that will affect the LOUQE brand...
Yeah, I use the slack but I'm not sure it's the best method of communication. I understand the desire to limit it to just backers giving input but it's self limiting and can be very confusing even for people who are used to it, not to mention how quickly threads happen (or don't)
I originally planned on going with an air cooled build but I think I'm going to switch to using a Celsius S24. Anyone want to purchase an NH-L12 (not L12S) BNIB send me a PM.
Edit: sold
Can you post some temps if you get the chance? Hopefully with the normal under fan and the one you're trying out but even just the current configuration would be cool.
Edit: just saw your Reddit post also, will you be updating there, here, or both?
The L12 by defaults doesn't support the AMD socket AM4, it requires a compatibility kit (free with proof of purchase of the L12 + an AM4 CPU or motherboard). Hopefully the Ghost L12 will come with built-in support for AM4.
I've got another question. For the test XS setup where you just have the single 92mm fan on the NH-l12, is that in a push or pull setup? IOW pushing hot air out of the case or pulling fresh air in. I think I recall you saying pulling air in but I just wanted to make sure
The Louqe Ghost S1 which is starting its Kickstarter on Saturday (the 25th) @ 21:00 CET can accomodate all of that with an extra top hat. Price is probably going to be ~$230-240 but would still fit your criteria.
Maybe I missed it but what are the actual dimensions on the GPU side? I know it says dual slot so does that mean 48 mm? 50?
Looking forward to joining the Kickstarter for this, looks great so far!
