Mini-ITX edition
Ayyy
How about my XL-ITX? :^)

ITX is best edition
anyone here build a pc with the graphics card behind the motherboard?
>>54538642
What case?
red/black memers ww@
>>54539077
Why would you do that?
Can you even get PCIe extenders that long without destroying bandwidth?
The angle just makes it look big
>>54538642
I don't usually post, but since you said mini-ITX.
>>54538913

Holy shit that's dope.
>>54539403
its a shame that these kind of cases are only made by individuals or in small batches and cost $200 ea
>>54539356
I thought those are radiator fans?
>>54539809
They're on my radiator as well.
They work well enough for intake and exhaust. I like the aesthetics.
If I were going for pure performance i'd have gone for Noctuas or Yate loons or whatever.

Silverstone Sg13b
Gurus of ITX, I plan to do ITX build for my living room. The last time I did a build was in 2007 then I used laptops. The goals:
>quietness so I guess low thermals are necessary evil
>some gaming capability preferably 1080p but 720 is acceptable), mostly gamepad quick games like platformers, tekken-like fights, some racing and comfy couch games
>low power draw
>least amount of cabling
>low cost
My concept:
>ITX board (obviously), probably AM4 socket
>non-k Zen APU, preferably no more than 65W (or CPU plus PCI powered GPU)
>m.2 SSD (media on NAS)
>appropriate amount of RAM
>air cooling
Pls critique and advise

It's 26.8L, which isn't particularly small for mini-ITX. It probably only looks small there because he's crammed it full of radiators.

This is pretty neat.
>>54539063
If only you'd turned that one fan 1/4 turn so you didn't see the wires. Oh well.
Obligatory.
Just bought a new RAM kit, so I'd have 32GB. It's too tall, and I either need a thinner radiator, or to just use the kit with no heatspreaders. lol

I like the portability for all the moving I do in uni.
If I see everyone else here doing well with ITX what is the trouble?
>>54547959
Why limit yourself
I took the retards route and build a separate PC that I keep in my dorm. Whenever I go to college I take one of my graphics cards with me, whenever I come home I take it back. That way the only thing I ever have to worry about is one graphics card.
>>54546491
nice ITX case. What are the temp differences?
>>54548133
what the fuck this is actually a good idea
>>54548146
About 3-5 c for everything but the M.2 compared to full ATX. M.2 drive goes about 10-15 c higher, up to 60c at load, but it's just some memory chips so I'm not worried.

They're still Noctua's. And though I put a sticker on them, it's a sticker they came with. Maybe I'll just take a new photo with the dust filter in the way so everyone can stop having an autism fit over the fans lol
>>54550274
Becuase this is /g/

Yeah but those of us who aren't retards understand the NF-12 and NF-14 are still amazing fans and they look better in black, if that means buying the Linus edition, who gives a fuck? Performance trumps all you dumb faggot.

Yes. And a minimalistic, great performing black Noctua is far better aesthetically when compared to the regular shit brown color.
See here.
>>54550467
Prefer browns over black with linuskektips
>>54550420
Not him but the black looks sleek as hell EVEN with Linus sticker. I enjoy it, but then again I also enjoy his scrapyard wars series. It's fun, and we'll edited.
>>54550494
Retarded.
>>54550433
You can get the industrial 3000RPMs if you wanna go that route senpai. They are also black plastic.
Also, based 6 year warranty.
>>54550467
My OCD is telling you to move your fan to the left a bit, your nail holes allows it.
>>54550544
I believe the NF-F12's are a six year warranty. I just didn't want the noise level of the industrial line, which is why I avoided them.
>>54550571
It was that far right because the route I needed to run the 24-pin. It was in the way a bit, so the fan was more off to the right.
>>54550544
they dont look as cool though
>>54538642
I was thinking about building in this case a while back. I imagine it's really hard to build? I know how to assemble a computer but I have no experience with ITX or cable management.
I see you used an SFX PSU, even though that case takes ATX. Why?
Also, I was thinking an AIO watercooler for the CPU would be a good idea, but I've never dealt with watercooling. Would aircooling work better here?
>>54539248
In so torn between this and the sentry. This one is functionally smaller, but the sentry give some leeway on GPU thickness.
Sentry is also going to be cheaper.
Low light
Any ideas to make the 8+6 cables look better?
>>54550670
Price on Sentry?
why do the best fans on the market come in the ugliest fucking colour
the noctua brown is absolutely hideous
I'm really thinking about doing this build with a 1080. For whatever reason I keep balking at the idea of MITX.

i've gotta redo thermal paste soon so i will grab a new shot when i do
>>54551013
Is that an L9I? How are the temps in a case like that? I've got that sucker crammed in a node 202. Any headroom for OC?
Down blower or tower cooler for the CPU assuming you have the space available?
>>54551362
it is the L9I. Temps at idle ar ~40*c and head up to upper 70s when under load. The front fan is mostly useless sense it only is able to pull in air from the side of the vents. I've thought about making a foam/mesh replacement for it
>>54551604
>any room for OC
i haven't tried but I doubt it can handle much sense it is rated at 65TDP. It's super quiet though.
>>54550808
They're aiming for $150
They're having it laser cut and bent from steel bf doing final assembly themselves instead of stamped an produced by lian li like Ncase and dondan.
>>54551604
>>54551636
The heatsink is pretty small as well. I just assumed it may had to do with my case being small. 40C at idle? I'm at 32C currently with an I7 4790K.
>>54551737
Yeah, I haven't changed the paste in about 2 years....
>>54551642
Lian Li doesn't use die stamping for most of their cases, either, which is partly why they tend to be more expensive. They use an NCT rather than laser for most of the cutting, but otherwise the process is basically the same as it is for the Sentry.
>>54551737
backplate isn't standard on nanos?
Best itx-mobo for G3258? Thinking asrock h97 itx/ac because it's one of the few available here. Asus h81iplus and gigabyte h97 wifi are options. I bought Cm elite 120 advanced from sale already.
>>54551875
They count on it not being on display. Besides why would a 6 inch card need the extra rigidity from a back plate?
>>54538642
not a fan of the case but pretty good setup OP

>>54550633
I used an sfx psu to save space and keep some air flowing above the cpu, also, it came with much shorter cables. My only regret was buying a Silverstone PSU because the fan is pretty loud when not under a heavy load.
I didn't use a water cooler because the cpu I'm using doesn't get nearly hot enough for me to need one, though I will be getting one when I upgrade.
It's not a hard case to build in, if anything it's quite fun, do note that if the GPU is too long, you won't be able to fit a 140mm fan on the mount. The only reason mine fits is because I attached it with some Velcro.
>>54552044
>You got any fans to get any air moving through?
There is a 120mm fan in the top panel directly above the board that is either pushing air out or sucking it in, I'm not sure which.
It's 25 degrees in my room and the CPU cores are at 38 degrees and the two hard drives are both 40 degrees.
>>54552044
>At least coordinate the fans

The dust management is great. I rarely ever have to dust, and the filters are very nice quality. Really couldn't ask for much more for what the case costs. It's a bit dusty now inside, but I haven't sprayed any air internally since January. And I wipe the filters down once a month or so. Maybe longer. I'm lazy with it.
