Hello, welcome to my build! The objective for this SFFPC build was to maximize compute performance/liter of computer hardware, as well as to have something nice and portable to bring around. See the full build on Imgur:

Another Sliger Cerberus X Battlestation

Finally put together my new battlestation in a not-so-sff-build. Aimed for balls-to-the-wall performance and compact design without having to make compromises:

Aklla A4 Pro with a couple of mods, sweet case!

Although the Aklla A4 Pro is advertised as only supporting two 15mm fans on top, but I managed to fit in a 120x25 fan on top with some clever cable management. Also, the NH-L12S along with low profile ram (I just removed the heat spreaders on mine) can fit in a modded/cut up 120x25mm fan for better noise performance.

ASrock B550m ITX motherboard

16gb 3600mhz cl16 RAM

Ryzen 5 5600x cooled by a Noctua NH-L12S

RTX 3070 FE overclocked +1000 mem, +125 clock, custom fan curve for max 50% fans (45dB)

SF600 PSU

While leaving Cyberpunk 2077 running (GPU/CPU intensive game) for 30 minutes plus, the GPU settled in at 82C (56C above ambient) and the CPU was 72C (48C above ambient). This was with all case fans and the GPU/CPU fans set to never exceed 45 dB.

I'm very happy with the case so far but look forward to comparing it to the Formd T1 when I am able to get my hands on one. That being said, the case performs much better than the Ghost S1, and thermally isn't much worse than the Ncase M1 and NR200.

Photos of the build right here!

I ordered the case via Taobao direct and paid $142 for the case, and $60 shipping for a grand total of $202. The riser cable isn't included so I decided to just order the Louqe PCIe 4.0 cable which was an additional $95. The case took about three weeks to arrive after placing my order. You can order a PCIe 4.0 cable with the case for about $60 but with all of the recent issues with 4.0 cables these days, I wanted something that I knew would work and could be easily returned/exchanged if needed here in the USA.

Overall I highly recommend the Aklla A4 Pro!

K55 Case Advice

Hi everyone. I am interested in switching from a Nr200p to a k55. I see you can purchase this case with the 2 aluminum side panels & riser cable for $200 CAD on aliexpress. Does anyone know where to get it for cheaper if possible?

Also, can anyone share their experience with this case? Thanks.

XTIA Xproto build!

Recently finished my Xproto build!

Only thing I'm not satisfied with yet is the headphone adapter (Logitech Pro X Wireless) , if anyone know how to swap that to a smaller one or something I would love to hear some ideas!

I also tried with wifi antennas connected, but I'm getting 500mbps on my 5ghz wifi anyway so decided to go without them for a cleaner look!

Specs:

XTIA X-Proto case (the larger of the size options)

ASUS ROG STRIX B550-i GAMING

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB

Corsair SF750W 80+ Platinum

G.Skill 16gb DDR4 3600Mhz CL16 Trident Z

Nvidia RTX 3080 Founders Edition

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

Ducky One 2 keyboard with mechcables custom USB cable.

Samsung Space monitor (27")

Angled USB extensions are bought from Aliexpress.

Overall very easy to build in this open case, and cooling it is ofc no issue at all. Dust wise I've been blowing it with pressurized air 2 times in 2 months, and I think that was even a bit overkill since it doesn't collect much dust at all it seems!

MSI Suprim and Sliger M580

Hello.

I am the happy owner of a Sliger M580 case and i absolutely love it.

My problem is that is these troubled times the only GFX card i could find to upgrade the ageing one i had was a MSI 3070 Suprim X.

I know it's officially to big to fit but i'm wondering if there is some crafty way to get it to fit, it's only about 7mm to big.

Right now i just have the case on its side with the GFX card laying on top, looks like a super charger on a muscle car. :)

Side-mounted exhaust for SG-13? :)

# SG13 cooling question! :)

Hello! Just wanna ask around first if my idea makes sense haha I'm using SG13 with the following parts:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

* R5 3600
* Aorus B450i Pro WiFi
* TUF RTX 2060
* SF600 (facing down)
* FAN: 140mm Noctua NF-A14 (set to max RPM)

CPU temps still spike to 80°C+ (sometimes 90°C! but only for a second) when I'm playing Hitman 2 on ultra. I leave the case open most of the time.

**QUESTION:**

***Will mounting an exhaust fan in that white square near the CPU make any significant difference? I saw someone do it with zipties.***

I've decided not to get an AIO yet since I will be moving to a Thermaltake Core P1 in a few months. I got the SG13 for portability since I need to bring it to the office.

I also saw couple of videos from The Tech Buyer's Guru about cooling solutions in the SG13 and all low profile air coolers for the CPU roughly have the same range (70-80 °C), but there's a huge difference with the Corsair H60 (60+ °C). I almost considered getting one, but since I will be moving to a different case soon, might as well get a bigger AIO or a better CPU cooler by then.

Thoughts on this side exhaust? Thanks!
