    Yep ram died after 2 weeks :/. New ram booted with XMP first try. Old ram took a ton of fiddling to boot at higher than normal speeds at all.

    Great case, unfortunately my computer turned off yesterday and won’t turn back on. Think my ram died so I ordered more to see about getting it working again.

    Got my build up and running, performing great and nearly silent except under extreme loads. Loved building in the case, very easy to hide cables behind the GPU with the standoff setup. Hardest part was tightening fittings bc I was stupid and didn't do it before I put it all together and I didn't...

    I'm doing two slim rads with normal fans which works out to 90mm (25mm x 2 for fans, 20mm x 2 for rads) and I think 95mm is the max at the shortest section.

    I’m using a modultra lobo. Integrated ddc pump/cpu block that’s super low profile. Includes active cooling for the pump too which greatly extends the lifespan of the pump while barley adding any heat to the system.

    Got my case! So excited to build in it after the new year (still need to order cpu mobo ram storage etc.). Extremely high quality feel in the hands and the machining reminds me of when I’m working making aerospace parts (don’t tell spacex but I’ve held parts that I know went on rockets that were...

    30 series doesn’t have the sense pins as they were finalized before the spec was. It works with any 12+4 connector, but the 40 series needs ones with the sense pins grounded.

    Might want to get custom cables, Dream Big Ray is highly recommend alongside the main options as being cheaper.

    From what I’ve heard it’s much louder than a 750 at a given power draw, and you don’t really need the extra power it provides

    A bunch of people in the SFF Gurus ordered it, some got a completely different PSU, others got their ordered canceled and refunded with no reason why. Not worth the risk imo just wait for Corsair’s or get the SF750

    I’m waiting on so many things. Even canceled and re ordered parts to get them sooner but the earliest I’ll be able to build is mid January :(

    I ordered the new alphacool 280 thin rads that are 20mm thick. Should be available off Amazon if in us, otherwise find them at another retailer. Should work better than the regular ones with slim fans if it’s not too late for you to return.
