@KSliger Whatever happened to the side panel that was half vent holes and half window?
Could I also make a custom order for 1x side panel to have vent holes on the whole side panel for the Cerberus X? Current available order only allows for vent holes on half of the side panel.
Measurements shows that it can fit a fan in the unused space between the Side Panel and the GPU. I can use the vent holes themselves as mounting holes. This allows for better GPU cooling.

That side panel was discontinued 30 pages back.
Safest bet would be to PM @KSliger to see if there are any still around their facilities.

if it's from the bottom of the PCIe teeth to the absolute top of the card, it should fit inside I think
is it the AORUS Waterforce GPU? that's default height on the GPU side, but if (on the tiny chance) the inlet block part is interfering you miiiiight be able to change just that part (might want to check though)
Basically if your aorus GTX1080ti is this one :
It should fit inside cerberus with no big deal as it's using reference size.
We have the side panels, but none of the window inserts. If anyone knows a machine shop that has a mill with a vacuum table we would be happy to order these front them - unfortunately every shop in our area is booked out for months, and ours is broken.
After a crazy Saturday, testing tons of options (yes, I've replaced thermal paste and pad on the Titan V 
)
IT'S TIME for a leak test finally!
There are few changes from last time, but soon I will write a build log!

Sorry if this has been asked, but does the Cerberus X support SSI CEB boards? They're 330mm wide. The Cerberus X's internal width is listed as 330.17mm. I'm wondering if it would barely fit.
Edit: I originally referenced Asus' new crazy ROG Dominus Extreme board, but it seems like it's 14"x14", so it's out of the question for the Cerberus X (and any other case currently on the market come to think of it...)

it barely fit the eATX Asus X99-WS o_o that's definitely out of the question (i think)
EDIT: yeah definitely not. VRM row is outside the ATX border on the top.
EDITx2:
okay for "normal" boards, you miiiiiight be able to squeeze a CEB board in if it's shorter in width than 329mm. definitely check ATX motherboard mounting points since the far end is usually different
Also you'd lose the SSD mounting points and maybe even the front PSU mounting point (since it might interfere with any ATX 24-pin under it

Anyone know if the Enermax coolers ever got fixed? I’m floatin’ ideas around a Threadripper build.
don't get Gen 1. Gen 2 may have issues with the fans themselves (at least the few on newegg seems to be bringing that up), so unless you'd want to RMA the entire set when it actually happens or if you already have other fans you'd be using...
They've (finally) admitted the design flaws - first round of gen2 batches were also affected, which is why stock has been so dry. Pretty worrying that they didn't fix it BEFORE releasing gen2.
I'm planning on waiting it out a bit longer - to get confirmation that they're not just lying to us again. It's also still almost impossible to source the AIO in Australia where I'm based.
Enermax USA Support said:We are fully aware of the leaking issue and have stopped selling our 1st gen TR4 cooler as well as the first batch TR4 II.
The revised TR4 II coolers have fixed the problem and are arriving to our warehouse bi-weekly by air shipments since early September.
We have reserved some units just for RMA so if you are still having problems with the 1st gen Liqtech TR4 or the early production of Liqtech TR4 II, we are more than happy to replace it with the newest version.
It can be done by filing an RMA request on our website, https://www.enermaxusa.com/support.php
Feel free to PM or reply to this post for any questions. We are here to help

Right..... seems like it won't fit by 1mm or so.
@KSliger I hate to be the specs police, but by god it still annoys me every time I see it: the volume for both the Cerberus and Cerberus X as listed on your site are less than they should be.
Cerberus:
The dimensions given for the Cerberus result in a volume of 19.6L, rather than the 18.725L listed.
Cerberus X:
For the Cerberus X, the first set of dimensions comes to 23.4L. The second set does result in the listed volume of 19.4L, but IMO it's quite misleading to use the inside volume, as no one else measures it this way. It's pretty clear also that this excludes the front panel, which itself encloses some space that should be counted. As a point of comparison, if I measured the M1 the same way it would only be 11.4L, rather than 12.6L (though this excludes the feet and non-enclosing panel extensions, which I think is a fair way to measure).

@Necere I agree, internal volume is just 'cheating'/ misleading. I'm also a fan of measurements declared excluding what they exclude. If someone is selling a case with a volume measurement excluding feet, declare it IIRC Bitfenix tried to market "Internal Volume" when they launched the Prodigy.

Not a problem, fair to enforce common metrics.
Cerberus volume was calculated based on volume of the case to the OD of each face, excluding the feet.
The dimensions listed include the feet, but the volume calculation does not.
Cerberus internal dimensions would result in a volume of 16.22L.
Felt measuring OD without feet was a fair comparison to something like the Cyorig Taku or DSE Vertex case would be oversized based on its supporting base, or just in general to cases that use tiny feet because their airflow does not require a bottom intake.
However you're correct on Cerberus X, should be 22.4L when measured to OD less feet for volume.
I will correct some of the explanation on the pages for the dimensions and update them when I can.
