    Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    I am getting ok performance from CPU and GPU now with C14s as intake, i removed the rear 92mm exhaust fan and placed it on top of the GPU jut below the C14s, that clears out the pocket of hot air that sits there and forces it out of the top exhaust (i have a nf-a12x15 there). i still might try...

    Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    I've narrowed down the problem, the gddr6x on the card gets HOT, and that is what creates a pocket of hot air between the NH-C14s and the GPU. Putting the NH-C14s into exhaust solves the problem and keeps the card very cool, put warms the GPU up slightly. Either way, the temperatures aren't...

    Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    I had a msi trio, but too long so i sold it and grabbed a TUF. I have a 240mm aio on the way, i am going to experiment with PSU position to see if i can jam it up top as exhaust to get a bottom to top airflow path, my inspiration is coming from this build: i have no plans to dremel my case...

    Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    any thoughts on fitting a 240mm top rad in a cerberus x? i have been using the nh-c14s with front mount SFX psu, but now that i have a 3080 in there, there is a pocket of hot air between the cpu cooler and the gpu that the rear exhaust isnt able to exhaust. a small fan in front would help but...

    Log SMALLEST ATX CASE : CERBERUS-X (Complete build log)

    Could you fit a 25mm fan above the NH-C14s as exhaust instead of the 15mm slim fan? im debating which fans to pull the trigger on while i wait for my NH-C14s to arrive, im thinking of doing the following: 2x NF-A14 on the NH-C14s as intake (i bought second hand and it comes with both fans) 1x...

    Cerberus x & Arctic accelero Xtreme iii

    Any suggestions on what the ideal configuration is for a Cerberus x with an Arctic accelero extreme iii? Right now I have the stock triple fan shroud on with two 120mm fans at the bottom of the case and one 120mm fan at the front of the case feeding the gpu fresh air. Would the Cerberus x be...

    Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    Is it possible to mount an Atx psu in front like one of the 140mm compact ones? I searched around and found some references to an "easy mod" but can't find details

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    Nice build! I'm actually not worried about things falling into the fans, I have the fans on the inside of the build as pull/intake on the bottom and push/exhaust on the top, so only the rads are exposed. I really just dont like the unfinished look of it not having a top cover, my solution for...

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    Youre right, the main reason why it kind of bothers me is because i have my fan curve set up to run based off the water temp, so 35 degrees with the top panel off is considerably quieter than 40 degrees with the top panel on. Maybe i'll try cap the top fan speed and see if i can still sustain...

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    I filled the loop using the fill port on the top rad, you can see a pic of it where i modified the radiator bracket to allow access to it. I hooked up a fitting and ran about 2 feet of soft tubing to an external reservoir which was filled up and temporarily mounted above the case and ran it...

    Prototype The world most flexible SFF case? LOUQE Ghost S1

    Anyone use the ghost s1 and the big shuriken 3 combo without experiencing unbearable turbulence? on a b450-i strix, the nfa12x15 ends up pressed right up against the sidepanel and it screams like a banshee.
