    Greetings

    OK, that's good news! [I think I will stick to Noctua as well...exclusively (even if others may dislike the color - no need for a discussion here :p)] Well, I have to admit I have examined your pictures and found something else to talk about: At your screenshot with the temperatures I spotted...

    PSi7 [5,7 liter] or "How to stuff a Gaming PC into a PS3 case" (work in progress)

    Thank you, this keeps me motivated! :thumb: (...and of course not having a gaming PC atm :p) When I found out about the smoked acrylic (by accident(!) after disassembling the PS3), I did a quick research online but haven't seen anyone showig it off... To be honest I don't think this particular...

    Hi / Servus dealda, Did you make some progress? I just examined the last photo of your case. If I am not mistaken the case fan and the cpu fans are all creating airflow to the right (front). From my experience you could benefit by getting rid of the hot/used air by pointing your fans the other...

    O.o I even skipped the scary part: Due to the natural behavior of stranded wire sucking solder like crazy, the whole wire insulation got preeeeety jelly (much heat was required to get the two ends together). Well, because the cable was cut just before to the EMI ferrit thingy, I could not really...

    Here I have some extra shots to better see the low profile Nope, such a low profile would not be achievable with any (working) air cooled solution (at least I am aware of). And before anyone asks: I was searching for a custom watercooling loop. But I think all the CPU blocks I have seen had...

    Thank's for the idea, but I am not mad (enough) to do that :D Yeah, in the world of modding normally it would be a legit approach, but in this case also loosing any warranty (still got 2 years left :thumb:) is not worth a single (unused) HDMI port ;)

    For everybody who watched closely: I had to remove the mounting/IO-panel of the graphics card, as the top is curved and maximum clearance is needed! Anybody still curious? Not every detail has been unveiled yet :cool:

    Starfield MC600 with Ryzen 1700 and GTX 1060

    Very nice project! Clean and built with purpose ;) If there is something I learned from my previous builds: Fresh air in = ok, a necessity but even more important is to get the hot („used“) air out! Therefore I would suggest to try the following: First have a look at the temps with the lid...

    PSi7 [5,7 liter] or "How to stuff a Gaming PC into a PS3 case" (work in progress)

    With an empty case in front of my I let my imagination take over: More power = better PSi7 is going to be operated in standing position only larger graphics cards are (mostly) cheaper just start doing it keep using all parts as long as possible before staring the "swap" I made some simple 3D...

    Hello to all the nerds around here ;) First I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the whole community! I have been reading here for some time and now it's my turn to share something with you: My first SFF built - code name PSi7 (still work in progress) Just a quick note ahead: I never...
