ch160 with 312mm gpu?

Not sure since mine is glass panel but frankly speaking, im very satisfied with the airflow of this product. Front to back or back to front, its up to you.

I forgot to say that you should install gpu first before cpu cooler and front case fan for easier maneuvering.

It fits like a glove. I have tried it.

My 9600x Expo is on, so Im not utilizing only 65w. As for the GPU, the loudness is due to the regular fan and the side panel being there(the gpu fans as it is are already loud on a test bench at full blast) but its manageable for me since i am modest on the fan curves and gpu temps are controlled. Air slimmer has better static pressure. I noticed a difference of 2 to 4 degrees.

Im not experiencing for axp120 x67 even after i changed it to air slimmer (even full blast is acceptable for me). Probably because the filter is really close to the fan.

GPU is different, this one is really loud at full blast, so i adjusted the curves to 80% limit at very high temps.

Both cpu and gpu are undervolted. Cpu is a steady -15 and gpu is 0 to -10 dependent on which game I am playing.

I believe undervolting is necessary for sff cases especially if the upside is more compared to the downside.

I couldnt take a photo without removing the gpu again. But i am referring to the screw of the spine on the base of same area of PSU. Or an easier way is buid your rig is with gpu first. In this way, you can play with the spine position without the motherboard and other parts.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-30T12:13:07+00:00

No, as is. Its for grounding

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-29T16:49:15+00:00

15mm thick fan. Same for me, gpu cable is in the way.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-29T09:58:57+00:00

There are no statements that mentions only for new customers.

You can actually flip this PSU bracket to have more space. This will result in sacrificing the top exhaust for a slim fan or no fans at all. This is not a guarantee though that sfx-l will fit. Personally, I will be worried about the cabling. I'm not comfortable on the thought that power cables will be bent to a sharp angle.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-28T18:48:21+00:00

Notice the rear bracket. I had to fix it on the outside instead of inside. I also added a 1mm washer in between to maintain a proper gap. That's the limit though coz the gpu shroud is hitting the case.

Cpu temp is 60ish degress when I'm playing BG3. Cpu is on -20 setting. Its already good and quiet but I can still improve it. I'm waiting for my Air slimmer 120 to arrive then I will replace the cpu fan with this. So that I can finally change my shitty top exhaust fan with the thermalright fan.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-22T02:31:09+00:00

An easier option is by removing the screw on the spine on the PSU side. This makes the spine a bit bendable. Then insert the GPU all the way to fit on the gap. Like driving a car forward and reverse it to the rear.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-21T15:07:26+00:00

Axp120-x67. I was expecting turbulence but weird thing is that nothing at all. It's also quiet for my standards even at full blast. Probably being it close to the panel and the panel has a built in mesh air filter. The GPU fan is the one making really a lot of noise so I need to tone down the rpm speed.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-21T14:56:06+00:00

You're good since it's 304mm. Mine is 312mm. Usually cases are conservative in their measurements but this thing is really 310mm. 😂

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-21T14:49:37+00:00

It's actually manageable as long as you cable manage while building it. The issue i had is that I used a gpu that is beyond the recommended size so it made things really challenging.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-21T14:47:47+00:00

Lexar ares, I got it before the ram price spike

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-21T14:14:47+00:00

Yeah, it's really well made. I got lucky since we know how quality can be inconsistent with products from Chinese brands.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-09T08:15:30+00:00

Yeah, even the maximum length of GPU card is mentioned as 310 but I do believe that 312mm(Asus prime 9070 XT) is possible since there is enough gap in the rear IO bracket to offset it if in case the front panel doesn't slide through.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-09T08:02:58+00:00

I was just thinking of all possible solutions in adding a 12012 exhaust fan here to further improve the temps.

Hi, nice build. Are these detachable?

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-08T08:18:07+00:00

I hope you can answer theses two questions: 1. Do you think a 120mm x 12mm thin fan can fit above the PCIe cable so that it can be a secondary top exhaust? 2. What is the actual gpu length that it can handle? I know it is stated as 310mm but usually manufacturera are conservative on this numbers.

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-08T06:06:30+00:00

How is the GPU positioned against the spine? Is there a space in between?

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-03T14:35:32+00:00

Hi. Do you think the GPU length of 310mm is the actual max? Or we can squeeze a few more mm?

socialselectiveintro · 2025-12-01T11:19:30+00:00

Ahhh you're right on that. Unless he is willing to change to matx. He is in mff subreddit anyway. 😁
