I decided with prices falling on AM4 components, to max out my primary system with a Ryzen 9 5950X and 64 GB of Corsair 3600 LPX memory. But since I can not keep from swapping out components on a weekly basis, I purchased a Sliger S620 case with its 5 pop off panels for easy component access and...
Having recently completed comparison testing of the Sliger S610 case in both normal and inverted orientation at https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/inverted-pc-case-temperature-comparison.18785/
it was apparent that this particular single case fan arrangement would allow me to compare...
I purchased the Thermalright SI100 CPU cooler and decided to compare its cooling performance against the Noctua L12 Ghost Edition both fitted with a variety of 120x25mm fans.
Without a fan mounted, the Thermalright SI-100 at 74.8mm, is 8.8mm taller than the Noctua L12 GE at 66mm. As a reminder...
I obtained the new small low profile IS-55 CPU cooler from ID-Cooling and have tested its cooling performance and compared it against two larger low profile coolers – the Thermalright AXP120-X67 and the Noctua L12 Ghost Edition.
The cooler is tiny – even smaller than I thought it would be from...
I tested five seven 120x25mm fans in the Thermalright Silver Soul 135 CPU cooler:
Thermalright TL-C12PRO-G – included with cooler
Noctua A12x25
Arctic P12
Scythe Kaze Flex Black
Scythe Wonder Snail
Be Quiet! Silent Wings Pro 4
Be Quiet! Silent Wings 4 High-Speed
I know others have bent their...
I compared CPU fan cooling performance on the Thermalright AXP120-x67 CPU cooler.
For a more complete description of the cooler see my posting at: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/thermalright-axp-120-x67-cooler-performance.17625/
This was installed on my MakerBeam open chassis without...
I have never been totally satisfied with the air flow through the S610 case. I believe I have found a simple solution for an air cooled build.
First issue is the rear space for a 92mm fan. I believe Sliger underestimated the height of current motherboard IO heat sinks. Your choice is to either...
I duplicated (almost) the single fan only testing with an Alpenfoehn Blackridge cooler I earlier conducted with a Noctua L-12 Ghost Edition. I intended to reuse the Carbonaut thermal pad, but is is fused to the Noctua cooler’s cold plate. I used the Noctua NM-AM4-L9aL9i backplate. I would not...
