a little update on my Q11
change the fans now i'm very happy with the temps...
You did not mention which case it all goes into... but it should fit in quite a few of the cases. It does not look like you're going to have the HSF height problem. You should watch out for where Big Shuriken may overhang the mobo (and potentially bump into a case wall), but it sounds like you should be able to turn it so as to avoid this issue and leave enough space for RAM to be installed. Seasonic X-400FL is too long for cases like Lian-Li PC-Q18/25.
We are in the Q11 thread so he's most likely going to be using a Q11 ??
You might. The PCI-e lane is very close to the socket. I can't give a precise heads up, I only know that you can use that lane at the Gigabyte. You could try to estimate the distance between the socket's midpoint and the PCI-e lane and compare that to the Gigabyte. The Big Shuriken's diameter is 125mm, so you have a radius of like 6cm. That's the space between the given points it needs at least.
I've gained a ton of info from this thread, but now it's time for my own build. Could you let me know if all of this sounds like it will work? My main concern is if I can use the AXP-140 passively, and if I can't, if the fan will fit in the case.
I'm building this as a Plex server, file server, HTPC, and light gaming machine from the couch.
Case: PC-Q11B
CPU: i5-3570K
CPU Cooler: Thermalright AXP-140-RT, no fan, run passively
Motherboard: Asus P8H77-I
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB
HD: 2x Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB
SSD: Samsung 830 128GB
Video: No video card, integrated graphics only
PSU: Silverstone ST50F-P, short cable set
Wireless: Intel 6235 WiFi and Bluetooth Card
@all thanks.
Specs are
Processor : I5 2400 only (planning to get a k series soon)
Motherboard : Asrock Z68/HT
Mems : Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb (removed the heatsink)
Video Card : Asus GTX560 non-ti
Cooler : modified Antec 620
Casing : modified lian li Q11
PSU : Silverstone 450w sfx
do you got details on how you mounted the PSU and more pics of it?
First of all, do you recommend the SFX PSU from Fortron (FSP300-60GHS) ? I can have the Fortron for nearly half the price of the Silverstone (ST45SF) one here where i live... (in Europe)
Do you know if i can encounter any problem with the Asus P8H61-I or the P8H77-I (ivy bridge) motherboard ?
Great looking build! What are your temps like? How's the noise?
Hello, I'm new here.
Just want to share my q11 setup.
1) Direct to MB (onboard header)
2) Dunno, I think 2 pin
Replaced the stock fan with a high CFM one.
My 7970 still runs hot as hades and hits 95C in Witcher 2.
The CPU stays pretty cool though.
Now I'll have to modify or rig something to keep the card from bursting into flames.
update...
Looks cool, however there seems to be a lot of air in the tubes, have you thought about putting a T fitting in there to help fill/bleed the tubes?
