mATX SLI options

[pp_ph]

Did I miss any others?


Nova cooling looks more robust but the SFX PSU isn't very attractive. The price of the case with shipping, tax and the SFX psu not that great either.

Saw U3/C3 builds with a single GPU and they looked great. But SLI in these cases is uncharted territory and cooling is questionable with no spacing between GPUs and lack of ventilation areas. Maybe modding will make it work? maybe not?

RM1.. wtf is happening. ATX in 21.5L. Spacing is nice for GPUs. ATX mobos should be cheaper. Can't fit long CPU coolers. Not sure how I would cool that.

Wow that RM1 is seriously nice though it's looking an outtake fan considering the hardware going in there. Looks a bit like a Lian Li PC-Q07 or PC-Q11 on steroids.

Silverstone FT03 is worth serious consideration if you use reference blower coolers on your GPUs. There's also the Aerocool DS range.

I think those mATX Jonsbo's will need modding to get reasonable GPU temps. The SG09/SG10 doesn't fair that well with dual-GPU temps and they have all those fans blowing at the cards compared to these.

The RM1 may be workable with reference 970s.

The RM1 ( http://jonsbo.com/en/products_29_1.html ) would cool so much better if they added front intake options for a simple positive pressure, across-the-board front-to-back air flow scheme. But I guess that's just not their style.

Just ordered the RM1 from a Chinese reseller, will get here in a couple weeks and will update once I play with it a bit.
