I have a Sliger SM560 with an Asus GTX 1080TI Rog Strix OC Gaming that fits nicely and intend to also upgrade to the ROG 3080. Based off of Asus' dimensions and Sligers max acceptable dimensions it will accept one. You won't be able to have an AIO for the CPU or the add on hardrive tray in the...

I've decided to just stick with NVMe for now and will explore RAID options down the road. I do appreciate your help and advice! In other news - I just ordered the Sliger SM560 and I picked up the Sabrent 1TB NVMe a bit ago when it was on sale! I will continue picking the puzzle pieces up as I...

I did quite a bit of research into memory in an effort to find something better and cheaper and found the G.Skill Trident Z Neo seems to be the best bang for the buck. A) Samsung B-Die vs Corsairs unknown B) 16-16-16-36 vs Corsairs 16-18-18-36 Price difference is only $4 but if you consider...

So in regards to this I have never owned a machine with raid setup and therefore do not understand the inner-workings and to be quite frank raid has always been "scary" to me. The biggest question I have contemplated and don't know how to search for is can you run 2x NVMe in raid 0 AND also run...

Hey and thank you for the reply :) I have been trying to figure my storage situation out. I'd like to do raid 0 with dual nvme and then have a 2tb sata drive for backing up. As I understand it you can run raid 0 nvme with a data drive but you must leave bios in AHCI mode, so I was thinking of...

Hey thanks for the reply! I think the AIO would be sufficient as long as your GPU will still fit with it. From what I can tell the Noctua l9a and C7 CU both keep the 3700x plenty cool with vented sides and a negative pressure setup. That's the downfall to SFF, everything is a trade off one way...

Well despite no replies I chugged along with my research and have come up with the final build list above. The plan is to start off air cooled and when I upgrade into a better CPU (say 3900x) I will switch over to the Ghost S1 or Nouvolo Steck and do a custom loop. I really felt confident in at...

I've been researching my butt off for an sff build (including the SM560) and everything looks good to me, for the 3600 the Noctua should be plenty with vented side panels as it can handle upwards to 95w with good case ventilation. The GPU will depend on your configuration but from what you've...

Well this is just an amazing build! I love how artistic these builds can be, well done - my hat's off to you! The cable management is sexy, the process looks tedious as F but therapeutic at the same time.

First off hello :) New here, first post and definitely will have some redundant/noob questions. As the title says I have not built a desktop since 2003 but my background has been and always will be a tech head tinkerer. I would like to avoid as much trial and error as possible to reduce wasted...
