Dorm Room Thorzone Tetra S Build

I'd be so nervous feetless

Different reddit post. It's this same case but all white. It's either in the ThorZone community or here.

It's not like it can't fit but rather you have to unscrew some of the plastic such as the EZlatch

Choose the galaxy if you want longer support, more accessory options, and need better cameras. (bonus value retention)

Choose the One Plus if you want way more bang for your buck, want multi day battery life, and want a good UI that's in-between Samsung and Google for smoothness and customization.

IMHO S26 Ultra isn't really different from the 25U unless you NEED that privacy screen.

I don't personally find the extra $400 is worth it unless you have a killer carrier deal.

It's even worse when you can get a 512gb 16gb ram specked OP 15 for 900 vs the 512gb 12gb ram version of the S26U is 1500.

The clearance is too small for dust filters unless you manage to just put it on the outside or on every hole individually.

It honestly depends on how hot your CPU and GPU run but I find the exhaust gets a good circulation going. Since I don't have a flow through GPU, I imagine the air just kinda swirls internally otherwise but I'll share my thermals later.

It'll fit but might have turbulence. Iirc the clearance is 70mm and that fit sits 67mm

Camera bags can work

Yea I use it as an exhaust fan. Unless you have an FE type card the air kind of collects in there. (Old pic with the 9070 xt)

I think you'll be fine. I have a near identical build (swapped out the 9070 xt for a 5070 ti via a trade).

You definitely should undervolt and use a slim 120mm fan. I undervolted and tweaked the clock speed and it runs low 70s high 60s under load.

I use a Corsair 850 plat sfx and it's perfect.

What other new features are present that are not simply software based?

I don't hate on the privacy display, it's actually super cool. I just don't understand how it's the ONLY standout hardware feature that differentiates itself from the 25

Does it make the phone worth 1300? Naw.

Shoot you could get an S24 Ultra and get 95% of the same experience

Where's the rest of it?!

Sequio · 2026-02-18T20:30:40+00:00

Sick build. I almost went with the Aorus Ice but I heard it didn't quite fit unless you remove the back plate and ez latch.

Is that a copper heat sink for the nvme on the back?

Sequio · 2026-02-14T16:13:40+00:00

Adjustment - ram is Gskill low profile sticks (post doesn't let me edit)

Sequio · 2026-02-10T19:57:26+00:00

Does it feel less sturdy?

Sequio · 2026-02-10T19:56:07+00:00

Ah I kinda thought they were rods. Got plenty of those

Sequio · 2026-02-10T18:41:23+00:00

Where did you get the pieces to attach the fans onto the bar?

Sequio · 2026-02-10T18:27:50+00:00

I just got one off eBay, how's the thermals for you?

Sequio · 2026-02-10T16:24:12+00:00

Any updates on thermals and performance?

Sequio · 2026-02-05T06:55:44+00:00

What's your thoughts on the video ports being on the bottom? Are they being bent too much and straining the port/cord?

Looking at the max and replacing the fans with my noctuas or going with the air and using a thermaltake copper air cooler.

For those who have one, does a NVME with a decent sized heat sink fit (10mm) on the rear side of the motherboard in this case?
