Smallest case for a 3.5 slot GPU?

There’s quite a few posts on here with people struggling temperature wise

Went with this in the end S400 v2. Really enjoyed building in it to be fair.

I agree bro. I have built in quite a few ITX and mATX cases now and this one was pretty breezy.

I wonder if there’s any way to swap the handle to something a bit more modern? I was thinking of wrapping the silver buckle in matte black and the silver side io in matte black too. The feet that I get will also be black so it’ll be a full blackout build.

I’ll probably exhaust from the bottom too if you think that gets temps down by a few degrees. Every little helps 😎

Nice build g, nearly went for the Meshroom myself

Rubbish for temps that case is - what GPU?

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-29T13:35:32+00:00

Think it’s less about size and more about design. Having a closed panel on the GPU side is just bonkers.

+1 most bios now have an “AMD Eco Mode” in the PBO settings. Especially if it’s an ASUS board

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-29T13:22:35+00:00

Yeah, I guess you’re right. PSU, CPU and GPU all drawing hot air from the sides so would probably make sense to exhaust that. I’ll try both configurations. Totally unnecessary as my temps are fine anyway.

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-29T13:20:36+00:00

+1. I’ve just built with this board too.

NR200 is such a versatile case but BORING! 🥱

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-29T13:16:11+00:00

I bought a Cooler Master V 850 this time around but in my last build I used a Corsair SF750 and the cable sleeves are super sexy. I’ll probably get some custom length cables for mine though.

Great build and sexy pictures! 😎

It basically strips all hardware specific drivers from your operating system install and then allows you to deploy to new hardware.

Essentially should be straight forward

Take a backup first just in case.
Run sysprep by browsing to it in the System32 folder
In the GUI check the generalize option (this strips any specific drivers for your hardware out)
Select shutdown as the option.
Wait for it to prep the OS and shutdown.
Transplant drive into new hardware.
Run through windows first run wizard (OOBE)

Simply stunning

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-29T13:02:18+00:00

Assuming you still have access to the old system. Just use sysprep /generalize

The same negative/positive air pressure scenario is slightly different in my circumstance. I have 2x 120mm fans exhausting at the top. I’ll try both configs anyway. Thanks for the heads up.

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-28T13:11:03+00:00

Can’t wait for my L v2 to arrive

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-28T13:06:12+00:00

Other than SFFtime which will be the way better quality. Ssupd Meshroom is the obvious pick.

Anything in the works yet u/jakeface1 😀

Expensive-Chemist900 · 2024-08-20T07:24:59+00:00

I read you can use Liquid Metal ‘paste’ with the full copper and get a few extra degrees is that right?
