he was asking for a newegg.com listing/link ._. (which I couldn't find a cerberus listing independently btw)

haha guess we'll have to wait and see if it launches with the SM550 next week or so

Sure this setup should be compatible with Cerberus-x except front 240aio with 25mm noctua fans as radeon vii, at least is measuring 305mm in length.. as far as I remembered you have 329mm depth inside cerberus case.

Front radiator setup is only viable while using standard 10.5" / 26.67cm graphic cards.

Alternatives are simple :

• Get a 120/140mm aio and keep same gpu
• Use standard GPU length and keep 240mm front radiator

The RTX card seems it would be too big for the dimensions you've posted https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-2382-KR

No RTX is good for cerberus-x and front radiator.

RTX evga 2080ti is 269.83mm length.
Radiator is 30mm thick
Fans are 25mm thick

Leading to a total of 324,83...let's say 325mm.

vs 329mm case lenght/depth it's a tight fit...but it fits.

After you can ease clearance by using noctua 120mm and 15mm thick. They have been used succesfully on several crammed setup like one from @fabio

Thank you for the great reply! For AIO I'll probably opt for NZXT Kraken X52, which seems compatible (height wise) with the PSU. I might even go for a SFX-L PSU with a single card to start with.

So...i "modded" my Cerberus build and it dropped 5C on the GPU LOL

If you go on sfx-l, i advice you to put it on front position.
Thus you can opt for apogee drive ii + your choice of tube and radiator.. full customed watercooling (powerful and quiet ddc pump, efficient and copper radiator.. in aio size..
Check this option with my setup..

I guess you can use apogee drive ii with side sfx/sfx l psu but maybe without top radiator (easy to remove)

Correct on next week!

But USB C is delayed. Again. Thanks China.

I would like to mention several air cpu cooler from Thermalright that should be compatible with Cerberus family :

• Silver Arrow 130 : dual tower, 120mm fan, however difficult or not yet available on market
• 
  
  
• Silver Arrow ITX-R : 147mm tall dual tower, black nickel (i must admit, it's beautiful..)
• 

Silver arrow ITX-R should be similar to Syche Fuma rev B : you could mount inside Cerberus, but without side bracket.
Best orientation should be towards top of the case to exhaust hot air from gpu and cpu.

i still wonder how such 120mm dual towers cpu cooler perform vs noctua c14s, either a cpu cooler or gpu hot air exhaust..

If we can gather up a good number of the compatible coolers I am happy to put them as recommended on the CPU cooler part of the Cerberus spec sheet. I will start adding up ones I find.

that is absolutely great news, thank you for listening to your customer base!

@KSliger Is there any updates on a tempered glass panel for the Cerberus X?

I'd prefer to use an AIO or air cooling system, custom watercooling solutions aren't for me.

Dislike most sff, there are a lot of compatible cpu cooler..

Maybe you should give some examples : c14s with front sfx, fuma scythe oriented to the top (intel) with front sfx psu, aio with side atx psu, etc...

@KSliger when the Cerberus is available on NewEgg, will it be using their shipping? I find that NewEgg shipping rates are decent value on most things. Just hoping that the NewEgg partnership may help a little on the NZ$530 plus taxes (NZ$133) it's going to cost me to get the Cerberus I want!

Will be using their shipping rates, so should be way better. Do not have any quotes or estimates right now, but shipping for an H200 should be around the same.

 

[confusis]

That looks like it may knock NZ$60 off the shipping, which is helpful
