    Concept Powerful, silent, compact build: Fractal Nano S

    Looking at the Mothebord specs Assuming the CPU is positioned close to the center would mean its center to be positioned at 17cm/2 = 8.5cm from the edge. The Grand Macho is 9.8 cm from edge to its center. That would put the CPU fan 9,8-8,5 =1,3cm over the edge of the motherboard, thereby...

    Concept Powerful, silent, compact build: Fractal Nano S

    Interesting thought! The corsair vengeance LPX are 31mm in height so it seems it migth be possible to fit the cooler. Fitting the fan above the RAM though seens like it could be challenging. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Thermalright/Le_Grand_Macho/4.html

    Concept Powerful, silent, compact build: Fractal Nano S

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree, the testing methodology is questionable, at best. The way I see it with AIO in this case On the exhaust: The CPU will get warm air from the GPU On the intake (240mm): The GPU will get warm air from the CPU On the intake (120mm): The GPU will get warm...

    Concept Powerful, silent, compact build: Fractal Nano S

    The Grand Macho cooler seems awesome. I think an SFX psu could be beneficial to make as much room as possible for GPU fans? EDIT: The Grand Macho cooler might not be such a great fit after all. Seems it might not be possible to fit the case exhaust fan...

    Concept Powerful, silent, compact build: Fractal Nano S

    Interesting thought, could you elaborate a little more on that? I'm thinking it makes sense to feed cold air through the radiator to cool it. Mounting it as exhaust will feed it already warm air. What are you thoughts? Short SFX PSU planned (Corsair SF 450) :) This video though suggests...

    Concept Powerful, silent, compact build: Fractal Nano S

    Not much material to find about the SKTC Q3 ..the NCase M1 though could probably be an option. To start somewhere, I'm probably going to give the nano s a try. After a lot of research, I see two viable builds. Any feedback welcome, on which would perform best (lower temperatures) and be...

    Concept Powerful, silent, compact build: Fractal Nano S

    I want to build a high performance (computation and gaming wise), silent pc in an as small case as possible (with as few compromices on equipment as possible). Dust filter is preferred and overclocking is not wanted, as it's counter productive to a silent pc. So far I've come up with this *...
