Thanks for the update on UK availability, sounds good. I've now been looking at the ASUS DUAL RTX 3060 Ti 08G MINI https://www.asus.com/uk/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-RTX3060TI-O8G-MINI/ This is only 200mm lg & is within 2mm of fitting with the standard LZ7 case with the extended front panel. I may...

Is the front panel extension kit going to be added to the overclockers site for buyers in the uk, as I'm considering the XTD upgrade together with the extended panel. Thanks Geoff.

Low profile USB ribbon cable connector arrived this morning as suggested by Jonny727272:- The plan is to direct the main USB cable (thick pair) underneath the SF600 at the back of the case and connect to the ribbon cable behind the GPU. I still need to sort out the cable management/shortening...

Hi Jonny727272, Thanks for that suggestion, it looks like a possible solution. Once I have done most of the PSU cable management I will see how things stand. One area of concern at the moment is that the Noctua NH L12S encroaches very near to the SSD drive support panel. (its the 4 No cooling...

Initial component test build has progressed:- I'm glad that the Asrock Fatal1ty Z370 MB allows the CPU cooler fins to be aligned with the case fan. Winows 10 Pro x64 now installed on the Samsung 960 Pro. I will need to do a minor mod on the fan casing (remove corner section) of the Noctua NH...

So this lot is supposed to fit into 7 Litres is it :D:- Nearly forgot the part that's going to be doing the most work:- Still can't get over how small this system is going to be!!!

Thanks for your observation, it's a good suggestion, but I have gone for the Fatal1ty version in order to have the TB3 Thunderbolt port. I am planning on using this system on the "odd occasion" connected to an ASUS ZenScreen MB16A Portable Monitor which connects to the TB3 port in Alt Graphics...

I am in need of updating & downsizing my main CAD workstation. Currently system is an i7 4770K housed in a Corsair Carbide Air 540 case. Case:- Lazer3D LZ7 generally fitted out with black panels & red corner components. Top Panel will be the new XL fully vented version. CPU:- Intel...

A very comprehensive dismantle of the cooling solution can be seen here:- I think this will be a good backup CAD workstation for me, & for use when out on site coupled to an ASUS MB16A potable monitor hooked up to one of the TB3 ports.

Just had a though. What about a mod kit for existing LZ7 case owners that will take a full length GPU? you would only need the top, btm & side panel blanks. When the founders editions of the next gen Nvidia graphics cards are launched, whether it be Volta, Ampere, or Turin, LZ7 owners could then...

A nice new video from Jay on Tek Everthing here:- Will be interesting to see the follow up video with benchmarks & temps with the CPU @ 5 Ghz You really need the cable management sorted out on this Jay ;) would probably lower the temps by 5 degrees

Just curious about your USB front panel connections, Does the standard location of these in the chassis get obscured by the HDPLEX400 installation located between the chassis rails?

Jay, This is exactly the info I have been waiting for. Great news on the effective cooling of this CPU with the NH-L12S in everyday use with stock clock settings. Time for me to press the button I think.

Thanks for the info. The gaming & real world temps look reasonable & as you say can possibly be improved upon with either a Noctua NH-L12S or even a Scythe Big Shuriken 2. (happy to put up with the noise over short periods) To be honest I can't see that a 8700K (@ stock) would give much higher...

Any news on the release of these videos yet? Am still pondering over an i7 8700 or an i7 8700K, I'm sure the vids will shed some light on the potential heat problems with the intel coffee lake cpu's
