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

    Fully agreed on your assessment! On top if your GPU is passive, you can try a fan bracket also, but I don't if you would have enough space as you have some other expansion cards..:)

    Nice setup. Your airflow has some possible optimizations..:) The front fan seems useless and the C14S fan should be as exhaust, especially when you will get your RTX 5080 Super exhausting 400W of heat.

    It should be all good!

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

    I looked at it. Most probably it is compatible but the assembly mechanism is just...terrible..:) Ahah smallest case size can be crazy. I remembered a 3L for an ATX MB...but that's all..:):) Nice board this B850M Mortar, 5G network, 2*gen5x4 m.2 + 1*gen 4x2 m.2. What type of usage would you...

    About Gen 5 m.2 drives I would agree about their excessive heat generation for the 1st models...till 2024. Recent models (9100 Pro, SN8100) are WAY better, cutting almost by 2 the power consumption versus early generation. I would say that Gen 5 mainstream time has just started. USB4, for AMD...

    Sorry for the lack of recent updates...just way too busy at work...🤣 I was looking to potentially to move my 9800X3D back to mini ITX (FormD T1), especially with the MSI X870i Edge Ti. However, as it has only 3*m.2, and only 1 gen5, thus it would be making no sense compared to my Asus B850E...

    Prototype Isogrid/Aerospace inspired open case concept

    Very interesting concept! Thanks for sharing it! I'm just completing my answer/feedback. Basically your proposed design is similar than Sliger SM580, in more refined version..:) I suppose that the best point of your creation is the architecture flexibility. For GPU compatibility, at max, aim...

    Log Ncase T1 v 2.5

    Thanks a lot for your feedback! It is crystal clear. Your experience is very interesting, especially by measuring impact of PL limitation. For now I'll stick to my R7 9800X3D (ATX setup) and 12600K (Mini ITX). The R7 9800X3D remains the best in terms of efficiency, even it is already...

    Log FormD T1 meets MinisForum BD790i! (Build Log & benchmarks)

    What is happening to FormD T1 (Ncase) : Why are they changing the orientation of their gen 5 riser??! This making the T1 no longer compatible with RTX 5080/5090 FE models!

    What games are you playing?

    For my sanity I even go further, no more multiplayer games. Now I prefer to platinum some solo games if I can...:) Last achievement is Stellar Blade (really, really enjoyable game). I just finished my 3rd run, just started my 4rd run to capture excellent moments!

    Log FormD T1 meets MinisForum BD790i! (Build Log & benchmarks)

    Well, well, as I just finished Stellar Blade for the 3rd time (4th run ongoing) and I don't have just yet another game to platinum, I'm considering to solve those instabilities issues met on my 12600K mini ITX. After some thoughts I guess the issue is linked to the DDR5 speed, ie 6000MTS. Alder...

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

    Well, well, with open shroud GPU, ie basically all recent GPU except the Nvidia FE Models, the case must handle a good airflow (in & out). The issue is with BIG GPU cards, you can't just be big enough to fit them, but BIG enough to handle their airflow. In the current setup, the Cerberus is...

    Well, I'm also following their Reddit for the refresh line up. They announced that the Cerberus will be part of the first wave of renewal...however ETA is not confirmed...already 2-3 years...even if I expect a release for this fall 2025. In terms of design of the next gen Cerberus, I'm worried...

    Well, well finally CO-15 was not fully stable...it crashed after 10h of Stellar Blade. Back I was testing using Dragon Age the Veilguard that is pretty demanding on the CPU so it was faster to crash. Thus I'm back at CO-10..c'est la vie!
