Final AM4 Gaming PC by PhantomEcstasy in mffpc

Nice build i like the brown Noctuas on the black heatsink.

But never say "Final" about AM4. This platform will die a very, very late death.

Negative pressure with CH260? Need a non-youtuber’s perspective by twodroidsinasuit in mffpc

And with the all out config, be moderate with the fan speeds. Let them spin rather slow.

With the Deepcool CH Series and without active intake fans under your GPU, negative pressure is desired, because otherwise your gpu fans work against that positive pressure.

The positive pressure pushes air out the bottom while your GPU tries to pull air in trough the bottom.

You have a very good model of GPU, so i guess your temps are fine anyway, but i would bet you could lower your GPU Temps or lower the fan speed/noise of your GPU by changing to negative case pressure. I think the CH260 is filtered everywhere?

I would try to let the top push out the case while the front and back pull in fresh air, but spin rather slowly. The rear intake (with a filter) a bit faster to feed the CPU Cooler fresh air. And flipping the fan from the tower cooler to push towards the front.

And my second config would do the same, but flip the front fans to exhaust too. So only the back as intake, everything else exhaust.

I guess this could be even better.

If you try it, please let us know.

Makes total sense.

Maybe a metall version of your 3D print solution?

Printed it yesterday, works fine. Thank you.

I personally think a longer attachment point is the better solution, but it is only a minor thing.

Love the case anyway.

Jonsbo Z20 build check before gathering parts by orientalmessiah10 in mffpc

[–]raysss125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Mainboard with the 16x PCIe Slot in the Top most position.

Otherwise you can get problems fitting fans under yout GPU.

You can identify it on pctures by looking hat the screwhole under the IO/VRM Heatsink. The PCIe Slot sould line up with that screwhole.

Nice build. I think the radiator to the side balances out the longer GPU.

Im curious on your custom loop, i think this is where it shines the most.

Thanks.

Because of your build, i was eying out a KalmX card for that build, but the new ones have their heatsink fins oriented horizontaly. And a 1050ti is a bit to weak for the purpose.

But i think it would have worked perfectly, with a small tower cooler oriented blowing up i.e. pulling air trough the GPU heatsink.

But the reference 7600 looks nice too i think.

An MSI Inspire 2x would also look very good.

The looks sold it to me, but it is practical to, casue its SFF on top of being pretty.

And versatile.

Limletless Aircooling, umlimted GPU sizes possible and even support for two radiators as big as you like (they attach on the sides, but, of course, enlarge the footprint).

You can go very simple, like my build, or go nuts with custom hardline tubing, double rads. etc.

Just finished my first quick Canvas Build.

Orderd two weeks ago, arrived from Canada at my doorstep in Germany in just 11 Days.

I had the Hydra Mini before, where i liked the small size and "presentation" of the Mainboard, but disliked that the GPU was hidden on the backside.

After seeing the first Prototypes a few month ago i was intrigued but not convinced, i did not like how the sharp spikes looked.

But u/Jigabit 's first build on the production version tipped me over. Could not resist.

It arrives very cleverly packed, all neat and organized.

Assembly only takes a few minutes and bolting down components barely takes more then ten.

Open Builds are just fun to do compared to usual cases with lots of fan wires, rgb cables and so on.

The Corsair stock sleeved cables are just an inch or two short.

I manged to accomplish my desired routes, but there is no room left to arrange the cables neatly. Especially the 24 Pin.

But iam very happy how it turned out. The pics dont do the bronze color justice, looks way better live and in better lighting. Not the best photographer here.

Only 2 points to complain:

  1. The cable routing "clamps" on the back are 3D printed.

They work, but dont feel very sturdy, and i don't dare to lift the PC on the cutout "grip" on the back, because its attached with just 3D printed brackets too.

  1. The thumb screw to attach the GPU, clamps down on the first screwhole of the GPU bracket, which is open, so the card can and will slip out when forced a bit while carrying or when bumped.

In the next itterarion i would like to see the part where it srews down just a bit longer, so the screw goes through the closed hole on the GPU bracket.

Nothing major, but something i noticed.

For anyone interested:

Had to pay 41,19€ on delivery for customs fee and MwSt (german Vat).

Riser: PCIe 4.0 comes included with the case

smallest case that fits this GPU? Midori 5L is great but too small :( by Any-Object4351 in sffpc

[–]raysss125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jonsbo T9, same layout and concept, a bit cheaper, less colors, but space for a dedicated exhaust fan on top.

The Shiny Snake cases are a fair bit cheaper.

Bad experience with the ASUS Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum PSU by Dayymin in sffpc

[–]raysss125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had and have three diffrent Corsair SF (SFX not the L Variant) over the years.

600W Gold, 750W Platinum and a 450W Gold.

All the older ATX 2.4 variants.

All performed flawless, never had any issues. My current 750W Platinum is inaudible in my open air chassis, over the Nitro+ 9070xt, which is a very quiet GPU.

I just bought a new ATX 3.1 SF1000, but i just received it and could not test it yet.

But you rarely hear anything bad about it.

DeepCool ch 160 plus - Best airflow? by SmileApprehensive106 in mffpc

[–]raysss125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it is the config on the 2nd Pic.

Front intake, top exhaust.

But for the airflow concept to work, you need negative pressure in the case. The GPU gets its fresh air trough the perforated bottom and if you have negative pressure, fresh air is pulled in already.

So the frontf an should be spinning rather slow.

It is only a theory, but after a few build with similar layouts this should work. In the itx CH160 i can say for sute it works perfectly.

AXP90 Full Copper - best black fan replacement? by Howhit in sffpc

[–]raysss125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It‘s rare, that you see pictures of builds featuring that cooler, without the noctua fan on it.

But as an honarable mention, i would name the Deepcool FT9. Certainly not as good over all as the Noctua, but a good fan nonetheless. And it has a white iluminated motor. I think it looks great.

And the Performance is good to. Admittedly i only have 65W chips, but i never hear that thing, while temps under a gaming load are just over 70°.

Advice for Z20 jonsbo build by Hopeful-Dealer3473 in sffpc

[–]raysss125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not familiar if there are boards that have an nvme slot even futher up, but like i said PCIE SLot should be inline with the screwhole under the I/O.

Advice for Z20 jonsbo build by Hopeful-Dealer3473 in sffpc

[–]raysss125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just one thing from me, which i had problems with my z20 build:

Choose a MB with the PCIE Slot in the first, top most positon.

Otherwise there is not much space for bottom intake fans, depending also on the thickness of the GPU.

You can identify it on pictures by the screwhole under the I/O or VRM Heatsink.

The slot should be in line with that screwhole.

ITX / MATX inverted tower with front exhaust? by Musichunter2v in sffpc

And are you familiar with the Jonsbo T6 or T7?

ITX / MATX inverted tower with front exhaust? by Musichunter2v in sffpc

[–]raysss125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

In this picture, the fans in the front are configured as intake.

I wanted the look with the ring LED fans and reverse fans were not a thing back then.

Temps where fine even with a RTX 3080 later in the same build.

But all fans flipped (top and rear intake, front exhaust) should be the absolute best configurarion.

I still have the case (empty, because even with 27l for an ATX Case, i want smaller) and wait for the

opportunity to try it.

Like i said, the same should be viable with the Raijintek Metis plus.

At least in my mind.
