What’s your CPU like? I’m assuming an i7 since your GPU is so beefy. Asking because I have the same PSU and I want to know if it can survive that config

The faux-Mac look of it is slick. That's probably where i'm going next, because the CPU cooler restrictions of the SG13 are being felt with my non-k i7 8700.

Decluttered my SG13 by replacing the SSDs with a M.2 drive. Things look slightly less gross inside because of it. I sort of built myself into a corner because I have a NH-L12S CPU cooler which covers a lot of the ASUS Z370 board I have, and needs to come off entirely so I can unscrew the dumb gaming heatsink ASUS has on top of the M.2 port. I really wish these cases were easier to work in. Or better yet, had something like my old, very un-SFF HAF932, where you could remove part of the panel behind the motherboard to add things on the rear.

Just gonna shout out that even the NH-L12 just barely "works" on keeping a i7 8700 (non-K) cool. You'll have to undervolt and play around with BIOS settings to not hit 95C when playing Overwatch or something. When it's all under control, you'll be generally at a balmy 80-85C on intensive games. I'm pretty stoked about the Nano S owls or something sent me, just because I can use an actually good cooler that isn't concerning me most of the time.

orcane posted:What case was that? I have a 7700k in a Dan A4 with a jury rigged cooler (Noctua fan on LP53 heatsink) and games get it to like 70°C which is not an issue at all. I can get it over 90°C with Prime stresstesting but that's it. Sugo SG13:  The case is almost perfect, and it certainly was when I had my i5 6500, but I need something much larger to cool my i7 8700, and that can't really happen when your max cpu tower height is like 65mm.

I got around to building with a Nano S and golly it’s a lovely experience. Cable management is really easy. There’s a lot of thought put into the case, like captive thumbscrews, rubber grommets around the cable routing holes, the sound padding, the fans. Also this thing is super quiet. So so so quiet. On the flip side, the case is actually way larger than I thought it would be. In fact it’s a fair bit larger than the mainstream desktop computers you’d find at a Best Buy. I feel like it didn’t need to be as tall as it is, especially given the lack of ODD slots. There was a lot of unused space, but then again I have pretty minimal components (air tower cpu cooler, EVGA GTX 1070 [2 fans], SFX PSU, M.2 sticks instead of any SSDs) Pics coming soon. Also if you have a SFX PSU, there’s a high chance you’ll need extension cables because the distance between the PSU and motherboard is comparable to a full tower.

orcane posted:The Nano S... if you use a (eg. 600W) SFX PSU this won't be a problem, though.  In my experience, you'll probably have to undervolt the CPU a bit which will certainly throw overclocking out the window. But you'd be able to fit a cooler large enough to keep the CPU cool enough to maintain the turbo boosts. The Fractal Design Core 500 is also worth looking at. You can fit a really long card in there and I think you get 10mm more clearance with CPU coolers. If you go that route, make sure to get a SFX PSU; an ATX will get in the way of a long GPU. Luckily for that case, you wouldn't need any extension cables from the PSU to the mobo.

In my experience it’s basically dead silent. At worst I hear a low hum. I also have the windowless version. Don’t forget the PSU extension cables with that Corsair.

How about a Fractal Design Core 500? It’s ITX, only a little larger than the Sugo 13, has a front mounted PSU so you can do a tower CPU cooler without having to worry about water cooling. Fits long graphics cards if you get a SFX PSU. Pretty darn quiet for me.

If you’re in the states I’d say go EVGA. Should anything happen with your PSU, their RMA department and tech support absolutely rocks. I think Corsair updated their cables with the 750W SFX line. I have their 650 SFX. Great quality and all, but the cables are horrific. The plugs don’t snap in easily and are physically painful to your thumbs to connect and remove. Do a bit of research to see if it changed. If you don’t build and rebuild your PC often it shouldn’t really matter, but yeah, not fun. buglord fucked around with this message at 19:57 on May 15, 2019 |

SG13 is a fun build but its one of those cases you have to measure twice, buy once when it comes to component shopping. It gets cramped very quickly when you have an ATX PSU full sized GPU, and SSD's. That said, that curious little shoebox handled my EVGA GTX 1070 just fine and at least lets you put a Noctua L9i inside if you must use an ATX PSU. Going SFF will allow you some taller heatsinks, since the PSU is mounted above it. It looked fairly clean when I went that route and replaced my 2.5" SSDs with M.2 drives instead. I'm still miffed the SG14 looks as goofy as it does in 2019. How in the world did they come to that design

Looking for a compute stick for a family friend. Shes used one before and liked the extreme portability. Budget is sub-$300. Uses include MS Office suite, internet, maybe some Youtube. Storage isn't a concern because she almost exclusively uses cloud storage. As long as Windows 10 has enough free space to do those semi-annul/annual big updates, i think that'll be perfect. I feel 4GB would probably be a good floor for RAM because she's often multitasking with browser tabs, multiple Excel spreadsheets. It looks simple enough to find something that matches those requirements on Amazon, but a lot of these are from companies I've never heard of. For anyone that's used them, how reliable are they long term? Shes gone through a series of extreme budget laptops that screw up for one reason or another. Because the compute stick is a tiny motherboard in a metal rectangular shell, I'd imagine there's less points of failure?

Nano S is incredibly well made and is the nicest case I’ve used. Sound dampening is great too. As an ITX case though, it’s pretty huge. Having half the GPU being covered by your PSU is kind of a letdown, but mitigated a bit of you get a SFX unit. If you go this route , you’ll likely need an extender for that 24 pin power cable. My Corsair SF600 had a cable which was functionally too short because the distance from the motherboard and PSU is pretty significant. Either get a cheap $10 extender on amazon or get a custom compatible cable (I’m sure you know this but mixing PSU cables leads to tears and violent wallet spasms.) the only real fault i found with the Nano S was the misleading name

Internet says that intake is good for the front. I have a 120mm Noctua fan (NF-A12x25 PWM) set as Intake in the front because 140mm gets in the way of my GPU. Incredibly silent and moves a lot of air. I even have a 92x14mm side fan as an exhaust, held up by sandwich twist ties.

It’s kinda wild to me that all the previous SG-14 prototypes were way off the mark too. Starting to think maybe the SG-13 was a one time happy accident. The Just Cause 2 of the series.

Silverstone's RVZ03 ITX case got a great review on GamersNexus and that's semi recent. Maybe thats where their A-team works? Im curious how R&D works and gets their inspiration. The SG-14 seems like it was made by people who heard of ITX but never saw it before.

Brand name and/or long warranty good. 80+ ratings are proxy for good components but don’t sweat gold Vs. Plat” (correct any of that if it’s wrong btw) I believe this website was posted before but this guy reviews that nitty gritty side of PSUs with the noise graphs and wizard energy scopes to see if its likely to burn your house down or fry your components. I usually check him out when im in the market for an additional PSU which isn't my usual choice. https://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/2018/11/06/corsair-sf600-platinum-power-supply/

The SG13 is one I try to replace with something else but it’s just way too good in the <$200 price range. Everything else is either too big or restricts GPU length or CPU cooler height in some way. The Dan A4 has been my ideal upgrade for a while now but then I’d have to deal with the NH-L9i which has trouble with my stock i7 8700. And then there’s the $200 price tag and no mass production which always gives me enough time to talk myself out of it. ITX is an illness which takes and takes.

Zero VGS posted:OK so a bunch of reasons... Legit curious to see how it all turns out. Not clear on your recent post history (and also I’m on mobile) but what case are you using for this? I’ve been wanting to do a backpack PC myself for a while now. My SG13 fits into my college backpack with room to spare for a KB/M & required cables, but then I’d need some sort of ultra portable monitor to also fit in said backpack. I know those exist, but the quality ones cost as much as my 27” 1440p 144hz Gsync monitor. That and GPUs are trending towards the “wrong” size for me.

I'm just happy it wasnt a noncommittal statement that indicates their vanishing or some sort of doubling down. It seems like they're owning responsibility, even though it looks mostly out of their hands. Seem like good people, and its nice that they aren't going the route seemingly everyone has been going the past few years.
