HI Guys
I just got my new hardware for the SFF
I have 2 small question for you:

The case SG08B , does anyone know if this case can fit Corsair Hydro H90 ?
My new specs:
I7 4770k
ASRock Z87E-ITX
G.Skill Ares 2x8GB DDR3 2400Mhz (F3-2400C11D-16GAB)
Asus GTX580
Intel 525 Msata 240gb
WD 4001Faex

i had also my old PSU Seasonic X-750 (gold edition) does any one knows if this psu will fit in this case?

Thanks
;):D;)
 
Hi.

I believe both sg08 and sg09 (the one I had) have 140mm case fans.
If you remove it and replace it with the H90, it should fit w/o any major problems.
I used h80, I don't know how much bigger h90 is,

As for the PSU most standard ATX PSUs fit, it's good that this seasonic is modular - this should make fitting the GPU a little easier.
 
Actually, the SG08 and the SG09 are completely different. The SG09 can fit standard ATX PSUs and might be able to fit the H90 (I always thought it had 120mm and 180mm fans only, but I don't remember that well) while the SG08 cannot fit ATX PSUs or the H90. The only fan slot the SG08 has is a 180mm fan right above the motherboard. There aren't many ALC that are 180mm, and there isn't enough space to fit a radiator in the SG08's 180mm slot anyways.
 
The fan bracket in the Sugo 08 supports more than just 180mm fans. The H80 will work in the Sugo 08. Not sure about the H90. Its not as thick as the H80 since it only has one fan but it is wider so I am not sure if it will conflict with other components or not.

Also IIRC the Sugo 08 only fits 140mm non modular ATX power supplies. The one that is included is decent but not great/spectacular but will be more than enough for your build.

Also which Asus 580 do you have? If its the Direct CU II, its not going to fit. If its the reference blower it will fit(blowers work best in this case especially if you are using a closed loop cooler).

Oh, oops.:eek:
Well here's a picture of SG08 + H80, it's pretty tight:

I've been building a new Haswell PC, using SG08 and H90.

The SG08 has a 180mm fan, and 120mm mounting holes. The H90 has 140mm fan.
I ended up making a 180mm to 140mm step-down adapter out of 1mm thick aluminum sheet (leftovers from when I cut a side window in an old black Lian-Li years ago) - you can use acrylic too.

The problem is mounting the H90 radiator - if you mount it *underneath* the 140mm fan, it interferes with the hard drive cage or with the videocard. I ended up mounting radiator on top of the fan, with fan blowing down (into the case, still in /suck/ configuration - if fan blows into the radiator, there is increased noise), and there is plenty of clearance all around.
