Rookoo posted:I've got a corsair 250d which apparently is fairly large as far as MITX's go. FWIW and anecdotal, but I built my wife's system into a 250D, and a few different GPUs with 3rd party coolers didn't really fit (GeForce 780), so I ended up having to use a card that had dimensions pretty close to nVidia's reference cooler.

I'm really looking forward to the the Cryorig Ola, but it's just too bad that it'll be almost another year before it comes out. The Dan A4 would also have been nice if it hadn't ended up costing almost $300 to ship to the states.

NoDamage posted:At ~$285 shipped to the US that's a drat expensive case, are you willing to pay that much and wait until December for it? The extreme size of the case also imposes quite a few component restrictions, for example some aftermarket video cards with larger PCBs won't fit, and there's maybe a handful of CPU coolers that are compatible. For any case > $200 you'd likely want to get multiple generations of use out of it, and personally I think I would get pretty annoyed with playing the "does this component fit in my case" game every time I went to upgrade something in the future. Not worth the hassle just to save 1.5 inches on width and height compared to the M1, unless you absolutely must have the smallest case ever. And even the M1 has limitations, with some wide GPUs with the power connectors on top not being able to fit due to the PCIe power cables not allowing the side panel to fit. People have had to cut down the plastic PCIe cable ends to get the sides to fit. That's why there's some excitement over EVGA's Power Link l-bracket that can allow the PCIe cables to connect on the end.

Has anyone heard anything more about the Cryorig Ola? It seems like after Computex they haven't said a word, while they have talked about the Taku.

VulgarandStupid posted:What uses does USB-C or Thunderbolt have in the desktop space? I mean for laptop it makes sense, you have high bandwidth for docking stations, external graphics, monitors and power. But in a desktop, you'd have all of that stuff on the computer itself.

I just wish Cryorig would give an update on the Ola, because I'm that

bacon! posted:Are there any commercial cases that have a similar cooling strategy to the case in the Corsair system? The reviews I've seen of it say both the noise and cooling performance are quite nice, but the cons you mention are kind of a dealbreaker. Probably the Silverstone Fortress cases currently, and at some point (maybe?) this year the Cryorig Ola.

VulgarandStupid posted:I have a Silverstone FT03-Mini and its not nearly as good. It only supports a 120mm radiator, not 2x240mm. That is a huge difference. Other than the only one case fan and vertical layout there's nothing similar. Yeah, I misread the post. I wasn't thinking from an equivalent cooling factor, just from the general aesthetic approach of a vertical square-ish tower. I have the original mATX Fortress (now in a closet) and while I never had cooling issues, it's a pain to work with. There's boutique cases of similar vertical arrangement available also but they tend to be expensive or hard to obtain.

What's the general view of the quality of the riser cables Silverstone uses in the Raven cases?

It doesn't necessarily belong in this thread, but I picked up a Raijintek Thetis and re-built my system in it, and it's a pretty nice case. By far the smallest case I've ever owned that could still somehow take an ATX board. My mATX Z97 board still looks huge in it, but I did go with a SFX PSU to help with cable routing/management.

HalloKitty posted:This can't be understated. It's mental what people will pay for a 3770K or even a 2600K, let alone a 4790K.. basically, if it's less than 10 years old and is overclockable, there's a market. Good to know, since I'm going to try to sell a 3770K and 4770K soon!

Has anyone here built a system using the Cerberus or Cerberus X? Thinking of moving my ATX system over to a Cerberus X, and now just trying to decide between the black and slate gray color options.

Is anyone here running a SF750 with any of EVGA's 3080or 3090 cards that require the three 8-pin connections? I've been seen conflicting info about whether it's ok or not, with some sites saying it is, and others saying they don't recommend it. I was hoping to step up to either the 3080 or a future 3080 Ti, but now I'm nervous about the safety of using three connectors.

Romes128 posted:Not specifically a SF750 but I'm using a Silverstone SFX-L 700 watt psu with an MSI 3080 Gaming X Trio that has 3 connectors. I played Cyberpunk for hours with no issue. I haven't run any synthetic benchmarks, but if you use 2 cables (1 with a pigtail) you'll be fine. denereal visease posted:Three PCIE power cables should be fine. The people reporting problems are using two cables (with one daisy-chained) to make three connections. Thank you both! I actually had previously picked up the individually sleeved cable kit from Corsair, so I do have 2x spare PCIe cables and can use one of them for the third connection.

LODGE NORTH posted:I think I've more or less decided on a 3070. I think it'll be "easier" to get one and wouldn't push the budget up too much and with the goal of having really solid PC performance, I think it's worth it. Why not the 3060 Ti instead of the 3070? You're getting like, 5% more performance with the 3070 over the 3060 Ti, but it costs 25%+ more.

Are there any lower-profile tower air coolers that work well with the 5900X? I have a Cerberus X and currently have the half-mesh side panel, which worked well with a Dark Rock TF. But I want to change it out to the window panel, which would probably starve the Dark Rock at that point. The Cerberus X has about 148 mm of clearance/height available. Alternatively I could do an AIO but that'd require placing the radiator on the bottom of the case...
