    Log Building my first SFF

    I'm in the same boat as you and currently in the process of planning my first SFF build too (custom 240 rad for gpu/cpu); was just curious about the X570>B550. I'll probably go B550 as X570 board prices are sooo expensive for the time being. I'll use the extra money probably towards other...

    Sounds like a promising build - Just curious...any reason why you're looking to get an X570 and not a B550? And whats the purpose of your build - I take a pretty solid dedicated gaming rig? custom 240 water cool?

    Thanks for posting that mate :thumb: - thats a decent look at what im up against. Ill probably gamble it, but its a good chance it fits similarly like yours but in the X1. Any issues with your setup at all?

    Yep, the smaller size at ~7.5L is definitely keeping me from considering other cases, plus the x1's quality seems pretty up there too. Haha, that sounds really toasty! Are you moving somewhere colder? As for price, I'm from Aus so the price is quite high - but yeah ITX tax is real, combined...

    Perfect. Exactly what I'm after - thanks again for the excellent documentation and pictures. I should've looked harder. Understood - only on the x1 listing page. I'll probably get in touch and see if he does other sizes... doubtful though. Ah spewing... ill just get in touch and see if he's...

    Yep, youre correct on that one - I checked out the vids posted by @tinyitx above. They've 'shaved' the internal walls of the case by a few mm to make up the extra room (Ive taken a screenshot below, see the internal grooving on the side wall?). I'm fairly certain this is what makes up increase...

    @thelaughingman thanks for chiming in! Just had a look at your build thread and confirmed my suspicions - the X1 has amazing quality. HUGE thanks for all the documentation and pictures you've taken along the way. A few questions if you dont mind haha.. Can you confirm what the cpu cooler...

    Yeah looks really nice and I really dig the configuration of a single-fan water cooled rad in a small footprint... The caveat seems to be a max GPU length of 178mm which is fairly small. I suppose its well suited to those who arent 100% gaming but more like smaller workstations with some casual...

    Man thank you so much for those resources. Yes, youre right in that the D1s and R1s are built differently to eachother.. Most notably for me, was the spine mounting. R1s seems fixed, where D1s seems you can bolt in and out... good if im looking to do custom setups in the future. Build quality...

    Interesting... Ill take a better look and make sure there any deal-breaking differences to throw me off. Otherwise I'll probably just get in touch with them and ask directly. Thanks @tinyitx, really appreciate how much time you put into responses around here. Very good idea, and will...

    Will a HDPlex 200w support this build?

    Thanks for chiming in - wow that post is super timely! Erased all doubt about it then - 200W it is ?

    Will a HDPlex 200w support this build?

    Hey man, thanks for the warm welcome! That's great to hear that it can pull greater loads on the 200w unit. Awesome you're running that build even with the older 160w unit! I *might* upgrade in the future to 1060 but ill determine that when ive got the 1650 up and running - should be alright...
