    Hackintosh SFF Case Advice Needed

    These are my parts. I have 2 constraints: 1. I have an HDPLEX 400w + HDPLEX 400W ac-dc unit. If I was in the US it probably wouldn't be so bad selling them and getting an SFX PSU but I live in Japan so I'd rather just use them instead of buying a new PSU. 2. It's a hackintosh so I can only use...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    @zovc oh ok, I also had issues at first with trying to measure where to make the cutout for the CPU cooler and CPU as well. What I did was measure relative to the top right corner where the center of my CPU cooler was as well as one of the corners. From there I was able to have someone using a...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    You might just want to wait till you get your case and CPU cooler so you can measure exactly where the cooler will be for yourself. I don't think that you'll want to just cut the entire area over the motherboard because it would probably be better to only need to use mesh to cover the fan...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    @cloudz the problem is that with my RAM and the way the dc-atx unit is height wise I can't fit 120mm fans. I realized that the main reason that my case was getting so hot was that the dc-atx unit was passive. I put one 40mm fan on it and it was much cooler. I'm getting a 92 mm fan that should...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    @breakfast I'm having some issues with the case itself heating up a lot, do you have any recommendations on how I could modify the case to function better at storing/dissapating heat? not sure if it's possible though.

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    I actually have everything fitting/working without issue though I did have to flip the low profile GPU. Both the dc-atx and ac-dc units fit inside fine. It's just that I can't use any full width cards which is the main reason I regret it now.

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    I wish I'd known about how big it was before, my low profile 1050 barely fits with the dc-atx unit. The ac-dc unit is pretty big too, how were you able to fit a 1070 with it? If you don't mind, would you be able to post a picture of it? I might either just mount the dc-atx unit externally or buy...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    Darn, wish I'd known sooner. I accidentally order two and had to use both because they were together long enough to let me flip my GPU. Guess I'll have to try ordering a new one.

    Is there anything useful I can do with a spare wraith spire cooler?

    The fan I'll definitely use, the issue is that I'm going to be moving overseas so I'd rather not take the block unless I need to.

    Is there anything useful I can do with a spare wraith spire cooler?

    For my MC600 Build I got a Ryzen 1600 that also happened to come with a Wraith Spire cooler. I bought a noctua l9a instead because the wraith cooler won't fit, so I'm wondering if there's anything useful I can do with the old cooler. I was thinking that maybe I could replace the fan on my GPU...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    Unfortunately, I can't get either of those since I already ordered a HDPLEX 400 and a HDPLEX AC-DC 300 watt and I don't have enough time to wait for a new one. With a 1050 Low Profile I'm certain that I could mount the AC-DC unit pretty easily where the fan grills are next to the GPU. While the...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    I decided to switch out my 1060 for a 1050 LP since I don't play many games anyways and it would free up some space. How short is short enough for the 24 pin cable? I think I'll probably mount the PSU where you did since my RAM is tall and I'm not sure if it would fit in front of the...

    Advice for an MC600 Build

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tBMsNN I've included pretty much everything I've bought. I have a few questions: Will the RAM fit in the MC600? What would be the best place to place the PSU in the case? Is the logic supply pcie riser I chose fine? Where should I fit the AC-DC hdplex adapter in...
