@Wahaha360 what is the weight of case? when do you plan first shipping?

I found answer on my question, Annadtech made SFF 95W limit test https://www.anandtech.com/show/13591/the-intel-core-i9-9900k-at-95w-fixing-the-power-for-sff

i ended up with WD SN750 1tb plus default metal heatsink

any high performance nvme will get hot, i bought SN750 500GB with and 1TB without heatsink, difference is massive, WD Black will throttle (front M2)) and reach 80C+ even with Black Ridge in pull configuration. On the back even in idle, temp will reach 65-70C over the time of CPU and GPU load...

i canceled order for black one, hope they get soon silver on stock :) btw how fast are pre-orders gone? i was not able to catch silver M1

@Necere what is the status with availability? I'm looking to buy silver M1

i returned mine today, it wont fit, plus backplate gets really hot, especially if you have blackridge as pull, not even 92mm fan under mbo help. one of the solutions would be thermal pads, i saw few posts with decent temp drop, depend on your mbo, you have maybe 2-3mm space there btw i move...

@dondan any reason to go with Corsair H60 instead H55? Im looking to get less noisy pump

I got Black Ridge in bundle with case and now im thinking about Corsair H55, also open to any other option With 170mm ITX gpu (RX570) im flexible for best cooling solution. I also have SFX PSU. Im in favour of 120mm AIO, easier to install, with some good airflow planning i think i could get...

Is it worth to go for I7 9700 instead I5 9600 considering I will use 95W cpu thermal limit (long duration)? Use-case: video editing (AVX), no games.... If I use cpu in unrestricted thermal mode, 9700 is clear winer, if they are both restricted, i assume 9700 will have lower max turbo but 2 extra...

Next week I will have Corsair H45 and H55 for test and compare with Black Ridge, i will post results

I saw Optimum Tech video for Asetek 645LT, and he compared it with Corsair H55 120mm AIO, in his test with closed case 645LT had more than 5C better result. Not sure why worse result with 120mm, is it cramped space between PSU, hot air from GPU, hard to say

Im deciding between Alpenfohn Black Ridge 120mm + fan duct or to go with Asetek 645LT? Can I expect -10C with Asetek 645LT in this case or difference is smaller?I have ITX GPU, should I consider 120mm Corsair H55/60? CPU 8700 (planning upgrade to 9700)ITX 170mm GPU, no OC ok with lower turbo...

thanks for the info, I have RX570 ITX, and same situation as SF750, fun curve adjusted for silence. It will generate quite a lot of heat. Im wondering what would be difference between Black Ridge (fan duct) with 120mm fan and vs Corsair H55. If is something in range 5C for I7 8700 non K, its...
