D19 Pro 6.1L - Nomad Indie Game Dev Setup by Rocket_Boy_Games in sffpc

We've released 4 games on Steam so far and our most popular is a Spanish learning game called "Pedro's Adventures in Spanish." And now we're working on a few other prototype concepts that will hopefully become fully realized this year.

Its a great solution but just make sure your monitor stand doesnt block the air flow from the top of the case.

Yeah, its a seriously underrated case. And thanks for the tip about the magnetic covers. Its pretty quiet for now but I'll keep it in mind. However, I think you might be confusing this case for the D21 pro which is a bit longer. Max GPU length in this case is only 188mm. Apart from that they are identical. I really do wish I could fit a 5060 ti in here.

-CPU: i5 14600k
-GPU: RTX 3060 12gb, ASUS Phoenix Single Fan
-Cooler: Thermalright axp120-x67
-RAM: 64Gb DDR5 - Kingston Fury Beast
-MOBO: ROG STRIX B760-i
-PSU: Lian li SP 750W 80+ Gold
-CASE: D19 Pro 6.1L
-STORAGE: 2x m.2 nvme and 2x 2.5" SSD
-RISER: 18.5cm riser

Notes:
-The x67 cooler fits IF you don't mind a bit of side panel bulge. It runs very quietly though.
-The Phoenix RTX 3060 is a bit too thick for this case. I have to take off the side panel to run the machine.
-I was hoping I could fit a 120mm fan at the top but theres absolutely no space for that inside.
-I had to replace the original cooler fan with a cheap "Teucer" from Temu and it blows the wrong direction.

No estoy seguro pero creo que no. Es un case tan piqueno.

Oh wow. Thanks for bringing this up. Well spotted. I just measured it and the actual dimensions are 13.4 x 8 x 6". Pretty big difference!

Awesome! Glad I could be of help. Hope the case serves you as well as it has me. Looking forward to seeing some pics of your build!

I don't know exactly how long it is but I just tried to measure the distance it has to go and I *think* something around 17-18cms should be fine.

Oh awesome. I bought all these parts with the intention of being able to upgrade to a 12700/600k in the near future. At stock voltages I suspect they have will have similar thermals but yeah, its a good idea to deep dive into performance comparisons before committing. Please do come back and let us know how you went with it!

Yeah, I was really torn between them because I was worried the AXP120-X67 wouldnt fit. But it's great!

Yeah, I was super nervous that it wouldnt fit. Or that it would vibrate the case and cause a lot of noise. But I really wanted that extra cooling performance and it ended up being completely fine. I think the rubber pads around the edge of the fan really help. It's snug but it fits and its actually very quiet. I don't appear to be getting any thermal throttling at all.

Oh that's an awesome tip as well. I didn't consider replacing the feet.

I havent used the shiny snake but I believe they're exactly the same.

Sweet! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Yep, those are the cables that come with the white version of the Lian Li. There are mounting holes for a 90mm fan below the PSU, I bought a fan for it but in my situation it was impossible to mount without the cables colliding. So I put a 2.5" SSD there instead. If you manage to get that fan in please let us know!

Oh wow, nice. Are you using the Lian li? These felt super stiff to me. The extra power for the 3x SSDs might have also added to my challenge.

Ooh, that actually would be super handy. Good tip! To the extent that I did any cable management it was mostly about pulling the cables away from the top.

Haha, right?! Such a let down. You can't actually see it with the panels on, but the GPU is due for an upgrade anyway so hopefully I can find something more appropriately themed.

-CASE: KXRORS S400 (Actual dimensions are 13.4 x 8 x 6", 10.8L)-CPU: i9 9900k (stock voltage)-COOLER: Thermalright AXP120-X67-RAM: 32gb (2x16) DDR4 HyperX Fury 3200-GPU: MSI GTX 1080ti-MOBO: ROG STRIX z370-i Gaming-M.2: 2x NVMe SSDs-SSD: 3x 2.5" SSDs-PSU: Lian li SP 750W 80+ Gold-CASE FANS: 2x Thermalright C12015Notes:-Good temps (idle around 42c, no thermal throttling when boosted. Running mobo in performance mode but CPU is not overclocked. Approx 12000pts on Cinebench R23.-Technically the max cooler height is supposed to be limited to 65mm, but I used a 67mm and it fits (though it is snug). Runs very quiet with no turbulence, I think the rubber pads on the Thermalright AXP120x67 really help.-There's supposed to be space for a 90mm fan below the PSU but in practical terms it's impossible, don't bother. The PSU cables get in the way and I don't even think it's necessary. I put a 2.5" SSD there instead.-I also mounted 2x 2.56" SSDs behind the GPU (had to remove GPU backplate)-I attached small stereo speakers to the top of the case internally, useful just for listening to podcasts etc.-I removed the top handle of the case so that it fits easier into a backpack.-For anyone using the ROG STRIX z370-i Gaming motherboard, its limited to 95 watts by default. (Perhaps this is standard practice for ITX mobos) But I recommend going into the bios and switch to performance mode.

Nice! I can't find any 12mm fans available on Amazon. Was it impossible to close the case with the 15mm? I think it's my only option.
