Thanks senpai
>>52358532
Looking at it again, I'm actually pretty sure I fucked that up.
They're pretty similar though, and I'm quite sure it is a Lian Li case.
>>52358521
No, it's a Lian-Li A05FN
But I don't play video games or do anything graphic intensive. Why should I have one?
"Mini". Shit takes up more space than my mid tower.

>>52357938
I have this case and the front fan constantly runs at 100% and is loud as fuck. Feels bad, man.
>>52359010
People don't appreciate the next evolution of cases. Today's ITXes are tomorrow's normal cases.
Don't worry. They'll eventually learn.
>>52359010

>>52358211

When will someone make a clone of 90s cases?
>>52358030
>SLI without the disadvantages
You've never ran SLI before.
>>52359142
There were a few companies that did that back in the 90's. But they had to change just like the rest of the world.
>>52358990
The D15 has no pump noises and can't fail or destroy my parts. It comes with the fans too.
It is really much for muchness.
Presuming the NAS I just built manages to withstand the test of time, it'll pave the way for me to downsize my tower during my next build (no more need for several hard drives, I can make do with one and an SSD). I feel like a moron for buying a Define R4 last year.
The main thing I worry about with mini-ITX is the firmware not supporting everything that a full sized board would; gotta do some research and find some good ones. I've put all my upgrades on hold for now though, considering the only reason I really NEED to upgrade is the Rift, and I refuse to pay $600 for it. So, might as well wait another generation. My 660 isn't a bad card, I'll survive a couple more years on it. This i5 2500k just keeps on chugging though; nothing I've thrown at it has been too much to handle.

I don't give a shit. All I said was that it's fucking big, and it is
I bought a a full tower. Its supid big. I only have one gpu but I wanted the ample airflow. Living in Australia it does get quite hot.
Did I dun goof?
Tempted to sell it for close to its original price and and pick up a smaller case. Thoughts?
I thought it looked cool. Does not go with my setup at all. I fell for the meme, I hate it.
How are the thermals under load with these types of setups? This is the only thing I'm worried about when it comes to using a mITX pc for gaming.
>>52359411

>>52359442

You did, but it's too late.
Enjoy your big case and build better next time. Mini-ITX builds require pre-planning.
>>52359464

>>52359394
Just so we get this straight, the two fans on the CPU cooler come with the CPU. The fans in the case I bought separately. I'm assuming you're not talking about the case fans as there are three if them and you're talking about two fans.

No, but HBM2 increases performances massively. Literally all CPUs are going to benefit from 3D memory because memory access has always been the largest bottleneck for CPUs.
>>52358152
Shit.. ive been looking for something like this for awhile.
>>52359931
huh? I've built more than one Source 210 build for customers all while using the Hyper 212 EVO. There is probably half a mm between the very top of the cooler and the side panel, but it DOES fit.

Why is it so hard to find small cases though?
Like look at this thing, this case is one of the smallest ones I could find (14x13x12) and it STILL has so much fucking empty space.
How is this MICROatx and the cases are 80% empty fucking air, this upset me considerably.
What's a small, quiet case?
I want to downsize from my Define R4, but I love how quiet it is.
>>52358114
Don't you mean 3.5= 7
>>52360851
define mini?
>>52360851
This one is kinda small I guess.
>>52360826
Its the thermaltake Core V21, I just wish it was smaller. You might find something I couldn't in the MiniITX area.
Only the Pascal Titan and 1080ti will have HBM
>>52359917
My 212 barely fits in my case. Literally less than a cm between it and the side panel. My case is a midtower. Yeah, I'd call that big
>>52358830
PCI-E -> USB.
Basically, external GPU adapter.
They're expensive though, and the performance is shit.
>>52358055
I've diabetus too.
Are there any ITX motherboards (X99 or Z170 socket) with a PCIe x16 slot and another PCI slot of any kind (i.e. for a TV tuner)?
>>52362039
ITX boards typically only have one slot. The only ones that sort of come close are Shuttle boards, and they're pretty proprietary.
>>52362081
I thought to. To me it's the only limitation to ITX. I'd love to have a HTPC/digital TV box in the lounge room.
>>52358152
>ML08B
This looks like a fucking suitcase.
I love it. Going to buy one when I get my next paycheck.
>>52362081
BTX boards have two slots, but they're exceedingly rare.
Which is strange because two-slot cases are quite common. What if I have a single slot graphics card? Haha oh wait, modern single-slot graphics cards don't exist anymore. Not even a GT 710 is single slot.
>>52362434
I'm pretty sure you can get a single slot 750Ti, but that's beside the point.
I do miss somewhat powerful single slot cards, though.
>>52362461
we just need DVI-D/I to die. it's what is fattening up modern cards.
>>52362527
Not really, it's TDP for the most part.
That 9600GT had a DVI/D port.
No way I can fit my triple slot gpu SLI in a case like this. I feel like I barely have enough space as it is in my full tower.
>>52362527
DVI-I is the only thing keeping copatibility with VGA and analog video in general, it's not going away in a while.

>>52358001
>Samefagging this hard
hello reddit
>>52362039
Mini-ITX motherboards are not physically large enough for more than one slot - they cut off right after the first one. That said, there are a few slightly-larger-than-mini-ITX boards with two slots, like pic related. Being a bit larger, they aren't guaranteed to fit in every ITX case, but most cases that don't have anything directly in front of the motherboard (PSU for example) should be okay.
The real problem is that virtually every mini-ITX case on the market only has two expansion slots, and you'd need three to be able to use a dual-slot GPU + another card. Also, these two-slot boards are invariably designed for budget system builders, and lack high end features.
>>52362748
I went full retard and bought a mini itx without realising that my pcie wifi card won't fit next to my gpu. Had to buy a decent usb wifi adapter after I assembled my pc. This of course isn't a problem for anyone that can use ethernet.

I went mini ITX for my home server so it could sit on the shelf next to my router and modem. Well, the case isn't that small, it has 6 drive bays as I use it as a NAS, but the rest of the case is small.
Still rather use full sized for my desktop. Its a desktop, space doesn't matter, cooling matters more to me.

Pic related (the oversize cooler is so they could achieve passive cooling)
>>52359455
A10-7850k in my ML08B sits between 50-60C under various loads. That's because I'm using a Noctua only rated for 65W cpus and that A10 is 95W. Just got a Scythe Big Shuriken 2 rev. B (58mm high -- case maxes at 60mm high coolers) but haven't put it in yet
ML08B really only allows cooling through the cpu cooler. There's a 500-page thread on overclock.net where one guy cut custom holes to hook up a closed loop water cooler (somewhere around pg 490)
Pic related. I've since rerouted the mobo headers under the psu and it's much cleaner

What's the point of big cases anyway? Do small cases heat up easier?
I have a big one with a lot of extra space and been thinking about switching to a smaller case if I'll manage to fit it all in there.
>>52365286
they heat up more than a case with more space and thus more airflow but it can be easily mitigated with proper precautions.
People like to freak out about it though, I'm not entirely sure why.
>>52363839
>>52363832
>>52363796

>>52365449
The catch is price, and a 48mm CPU heatsink limitation.

I had a bitch of a client (some spoiled Russian kike's son) who wanted the "ultimate gaming machine" that could play his CS:GO at 4K at 100+FPS...
And his 4K TV that was capped at 30 Hz.
So I built the kike and AMD-build (FX-9590, MSI 990FX board, one R9 280X) and charged him for the list MSRP of everything (the FX-9590 had an MSRP of $300+), my hourly fee, and an additional fee for rewiring his home entertainment room for the computer. I then told him to buy a 4K monitor and a better 4K TV, and the kike's father actually bought them for him.

They were literal kikes though. I'm just a kike by trade, and only to clients who think they know better than the person they paid money to build their computer because they didn't know how themselves.
I'm actually a really bad businessman because I try to save my clients as much money as possible so they can get the most for their money. I should be Jewing them for every part, but I can't bring myself to do it on people who are alright.

what do? I didn't plan on upgrading for awhile yet, maybe even 2018 if I'm being honest, as I've had absolutely zero cpu bottlenecks in the 5 years I've had this thing, but having a smaller case would be really nice

How much noise? I kinda like the silence of the noctua D14
>>52368315
Definitely more than I'd like at load.
Ay idle its audible from up close but not too bad.
If i wasnt going to move into the dancases a4 asap i would be using it, and would have stuck with my u9b-se2.
>>52368404
At idle*
It should be fairly obvious that it'll be louder than a D14 though.
Anyone dares to make a gaming PC out of this?
>>52368473
Well I use one as my router
Here is the best looking ITX case. Whether it's nice to build in or not is another matter.

I do not understand why would anyone not get a node 304.
>pc gayming
what a waste of money
I considered it when I was building a new PC but all motherboards with that form factor cost more.
When I upgrade my PC in a year or so I'm going with ITX. My HAF XM is just too big
>>52362628
What cooler?
>>52357938
how the fuck am i gonna fit 2 GPUs, 3 SSDs, 3 HDDs and a BD drive in there?
>>52371279
you can usually do all but 2 gpu's in ITX builds.
>>52367769
This is fucking erotic
Let's say money was no object (obviously be realistic, no $20k 167 cores of gold shit), what would your build minus periphs look like, /g/?
>>52364269
3tb hard disk are less reliable than 4tb.
do not take green wd, they break easily, i find my self confortable with the blue.
i don't know what do you do with a i7 6950x at 1500$, but consider spending less money on the cpu and take a real gpu card, if you have that money i suggest to wait for the top tier from pascal, they should come out soon

That's amazing, really. Had no idea the power usage was that low.
>>52372209

>doesn't state what size.
Drop to an ITX case and board, take off one nano and make it just one 4k monitor then. Can't do much else.
>>52357938
I wish this case had better cable management but I love it none the less. My gpu is at 24c idle and CPU 32c. Underload, the GPU never goes over 44c but my CPU ramps up to 46c.

If for some reason it wasn't though, soon enough Silverstone is going to be releasing a 700W 80+ platinum (!) SFX-L PSU, which would definitely be enough.
Also the i7 has a TDP of a mere 65W. I considered putting the 6700T in there but I'm not sure I'd be ok with 2.8ghz/3.6ghz vs 3.4ghz/4ghz.

This isn't included on pcpartpicker. You'd still get the idea though, no quad channel on Skylake means i'd still be sticking with haswell-e just because of this piece of work right here.
>>52372325
>Had no idea the power usage was that low.
Power usage is always low. I fell for the meme too. Could have easily done 550w.
>>52372437
I went 750W, but because I wasn't sure if I was going to SLI. This is on my mATX build though.
TDP is pretty low on skylake, had no idea since I hadn't bothered to look at it much after I built my PCs.
>>52372407
it's still a SFF. But if I must

Have a fractal define r4. Love it, quiet and good to build in. A bitch to move however, would be nice with a smaller case for a future build. But in that case I'd like a small case that's quiet and would fit any size GPU and most cpu coolers.
>>52372722
The Fractal Core 500 or node 304 sound like they'd be a pretty good matches for you.

The 250D is an unreal case to build in but I wouldn't call it a small case
Volume wise it's as big as my NZXT Vulcan
Off topic but I think this thread can appreciate this

This bothered me about most air coolers, but why aren't the heat spreader fins arranged in a circular shape? Most of the air coming out of the fan disperses into a radial pattern, with a dead spot in the center behind the fan hub. If you arrange the heat pipes and the spreader to follow the contours of the fan, wouldn't you be taking advantage of the optimized airflow?
Sort of like what Zalman's been doing, except with more, flatter heat pipes around the edge of the cooler and the fins spreading inside to catch the air stream?
>>52373174
Could be cost effective this way. You should design a HSF and make money off it
>>52372814
Node 304 is larger than mATX cases.
>>52368095
There wasn't much advance in terms of CPU power since Sandy. I'm still using an i7 2600 myself without any problem. If you are not extremely limited by space you should just stay with what you've got. Of course, if you really want to upgrade you'd need to get a new motherboard, given that Intel has changed sockets.
>>52373217
I agree it's a bit big, that's why it was second after the core 500.
The 304 is "only" 19L, that's not /too/ bad.

custom loop in a Node304.
>>52373217
>>52373298
At 20L and 18.6L, respectively, I wouldn't call either the Node 304 or Core 500 "big" for mini-ITX cases, but average. I'd say big is 25L+ (e.g., Prodigy, 250D), and small is <15L, so 20L is right there in the middle.
