Joined the NR200 gang. Wanted to make my system easier to move between my office and living room. Vertical mounted GPU wasn’t the initial plan, but it’s nothing 7 Noctua’s can’t resolve

Weekly Case & Parts Recommendation Thread (Start here if you are new! Help here if you can!)

# New to SFFPCs? Beginners Guide, FAQ and Starter Cases

If you're new to SFFPCs or PC building in general, take a look at this article written by u/ermac-318 for some answers to your questions, as well as recommendations for some easy cases to start with.

# SFF Cases and Parts List

If you're looking for a case or parts to go in your SFFPC, the above spreadsheet maintained by u/prayogahs and u/ermac-318 has data on cases, motherboards, GPUs, CPU coolers, RAM and PSUs.

# Set filters to find parts for yourself

In the toolbar of the sheet, go to Data -> Filter views for some quick filters, or select Create new temporary filter view to create a custom one. You can also copy the sheet out into a spreadsheet of your own and make your own notes.

# Ask for help here

Once you have an idea of the case or parts you are considering, make a comment in this thread detailing your requirements and what cases or parts you are eyeing so far, and discuss what you like or do not like about them.

Making an SFF PC has the interesting effect of making your wallet also SFF

Fan Configurations for NH-U12A in a S620?

Heya. Recently built a 5800X/2080 Super into a Sliger S620 with an NH-U12A and was curious to see what other folks have been doing fan config wise. I tried rear exhaust with top intake and had okay temps (40C idle/72C on load). Switched to rear intake and top exhaust and idle temps were higher (43C / 74C load). I was thinking of adding a side exhaust, but that'd mean I can't use the windowed panel.

I suppose I could use the alternate setup for the PSU so I can fit a front fan, but then I couldn't use the cables. (they juuuust fit in this config.)

Anyways, I know the more popular cooler to use is the NH-D15S but wanted to keep things a bit less crowded aesthetically.

NCASE M1 Build and fan configuration testing

Hi,

not the best time to upgrade your system, but I couldn't resist.I already made a preview post about my ASUS Strix 3090 deshroud, but I wanted to show a bit more of my now finished build. I also uploaded a video of the deshrouding process, just a mostly raw uncut version though.

Specs:

|Mainboard|ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT|
|:-|:-|
|CPU|AMD Ryzen 9 5900X|
|GPU|ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 ROG STRIX OC WHITE|
|RAM|2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3800MHz, 14-16-16-36, (F4-3800C14D-32GTZN)|
|Power supply|Corsair SF750 Platinum 750W|
|CPU AiO|Alphacool Eisbaer LT 240|
|AiO Radiator Fan|2x Noctua A12x25|
|GPU Fan|2x Noctua A12x25|
|Storage|1x Samsung 960 EVO 1TB, 1x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB|
|Case|NCASE M1 v6.1|

Side

Yes, the STRIX 3090 does not fit the NCASE M1. At least not without the use of a rotary tool.

But then it fits, no slim pci-e power connectors are necessary with a little cable managing.

even the front connectors are in place

​

I tested thermals with Fire Strike Ultra Graphics test 1 in a loop for at least 30 minutes with a period of roughly 5 minutes cool down afterwards. Logging was done with HWiNFO64. I set pump and CPU Radiator fans to a fixed RPM while changing the GPU fans in different fan configurations to match an 40db(A) noise level for comparison. Sadly the STRIX does not report RPM for the external fans, so for those only the % were logged.

Fire Strike Ultra settings for testing

Noise normalization to about 40db\(A\) from roughly 20cm

I tried the following configurations:

GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake
GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust
GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust
GPU 2x Noctua A14x25 Exhaust+ CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust

I for some reason forgot to test GPU Exhaust and CPU Intake in this run, though I have tested it before and it didn't performe better than a full exhaust configuration.

As the GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust performed the best and furthermore the GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust crashed my system when I just closed Fire Strike due to an overheating of the motherboard and CPU, I didn't tested other configurations for the GPU 2x Noctua A14x25 than as Exhaust with the CPU also as Exhaust.

The Noctua A14x25 do not fit without grinding the fan's frame down on the inside where the ncase's mounting hardware for the side panel sits or removing said mounting brackets.

My custom profiles are fan curves for both CPU and GPU as well as an undervolt to
868mV at 1905Mhz Core Clock, +550Mhz RAM for the GPU.

Results, dT above ambient logged with a EVE Room

Thank you for reading, hope it helps, I'll try to answer any questions left unvoiced, but I won't take it apart for testing other configurations anymore, that whole process was a pain, thanks for your understanding!
