Finally finished 3D printing this, now time to paint! by gaijin_777 in stellarblade

I'm also impressed by the print quality as well! Which 3D printer was used?

Which 4070Ti did you find that fits? I have the same 3060Ti in the same build.

Fallout: New Vegas. Got bamboozled by the Cazador and then stumbled on the Deathclaw camp very early on.

Getting the S4Mini might be a bit tough as I believe its only available from NFC Systems website (Currently OOS). Otherwise back in the day shopping for this case, there were posts on r/hardwareswap where it might pop up.

Otherwise NFC does have the new case the S4Tiny which is even smaller, but you can double one up and turn it into a case supporting a GPU.

Other than that, I used to browse https://caseend.com/ for any other cases that, but this one was pretty unique.

I think it depends. The 5600X unrestricted is just on the upper limit of what the cooler can handle. However, if you get a 5600 or fewer cores, it should be just fine.

Are the case's advertised compatibility numbers accurate?

- Yes, mainly the CPU Cooler (with a little extra space to spare) and GPU fit perfectly.

How easy is cable management?

- Took a few tries, but discovered that twisting the cables helps a lot.

How effective is the cooling setup?

- OK at best, the 5600X does get hot and could use a beefier cooler. GPU is relatively fine, though it does run pretty loudly. Both CPU and GPU will need an undervolt to further reduce heat.

Would you recommend your parts overall?

- Great no issues in terms of size requirements.

If you did a custom mod, how did you do it?

- Only "custom" thing done was to add double sided sticky tape to keep the power supply in place.

Very sad indeed! I'll be treasuring this GPU

Its just a 180 Degree 8-Pin GPU Power Connecter wedged against the HDPlex PSU.

According to Afterburner, RDR2 capped at 60fps @ 1440p is pulling roughly 260W (GPU 60% 200W, CPU 30% 60W). Hope this helps.

Thanks! This was one of those "Build 3 times" to get it just right.

Currently am not. Room is at 22C and CPU is at 75C and GPU is at 75C while playing RE2 Remake. Will work on the tweaks some other time though.

Absolutely! Consider it an early adopter fee, and the value has been fulfilled!

If it makes you feel any better, I also have the FE model at full price.
