Well.
Near 4 hours playing bf1 2k 144hz and this is the first results:




Cpu RPM 1000 max
Gpu RPM 960 max
front, top and rear 600 max

I need to check my bios settings because i set the manual voltaje to 1.2v but in the game dont crash until 1.175v.
I have my 1080ti in 0.900v 1900mhz but I can get 0.900v 1935mhz (1 mhz more, and crash)

I'm very suprised with the fan on the sf600, not spin at all. Much more better than in the dan a4 and the ncase m1

Well, as I supposed while looking at your 1080ti temperature, your gpu is far to be working at 100%...:)
Check max power usage of your 1080ti : 200W, whereas my MSI GTX 1080ti Gaming X on 4k gaming (like FF XV or Mass effect Andremoda), I'm reaching 330W and 82-83°C...:D

For cpu temperature, X265 benchmark is a good tool to see real temperature on gpu load.

And this is my watercooled gpu:

Is my second line in your first quote! :


And no, i dont play with gsync, I limit my fps at 150 with tiva tunner static server
Well 2k resolution, i suppose it’s 1080p..:) (was not sure)

At you are limiting your fps at 150, that’s why your gpu power usage is limited to 200w. Standard 1080ti power is around 250w at full load.
That’s also why your sf600 fan is not spinning.

Could you try, just for fun, bf1 with no fps cap please?

Gpu power is limited because I'm undervolting it.
I will play now 20 or 30 min without cap.

I have exactly the same settings than ncase and dan (no oc cpu here) and the sf600 is very loud, but in this build i cant even ear it

No fps caps (200 fps battlefield engine cap)


Eiswolf is a nice solution for gpu.
If I reset msi afterburner and play at 1981mhz my gpu get 38°

This is my actual undervolt 1900mhz 0,9v aprox:

Yes I fully agree on SF600..it's pretty loud in warm environnement.
I guess that your cerberus setup has more air to breath, by far, vs dan case.

Definitely undervolting your gtx 1080ti is succesful..;)

Now you can even increase voltage and core speed..;)

Cool! Actually mine is 60mm tube. I have the D5 as well, I'll decide later which one to use! Till 160/165 can fit with no problem with the GPU in the 1st slot. ;)
Yep, exactly same requirements for me :)
mini-ITX board height - PCIEX slot height = 160/165 mm :)))

is there room for a 92mm fan if I use front sfx mounting kit? just wondering because Im concered about vrm temps on maximus x hero with 8700k 5ghz 1.25volt. This board doesn’t come with a temp sensor for vrm and when I touch it, it’s pretty hot. I currently have 2 exhaust fans for them. Im using my case open and psu is literally outside of the case because although this 1200watt atx fits in the case, its way too big and im not moving around with my pc yet. (getting evga 650gm which is sfx)
