Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure
- Thread starter PlayfulPhoenix
- Start date
Lurker here.
Been waiting for a new product launch to make an excuse to upgrade from my ancient machine. Built this last week but finally decided to share with the Cerberus camp.
Went in with plans for NVLink future setup. Realized i'm kinda limited by general PCIe x16/x8 or 16/16 matx support (unless i'm wrong). Maybe something on the horizon with new skylake x but not too worried. Might get one even with the x8/x4 limitation with my x16/x4 slot board.
(please correct me on my pcie 3.0 mobo limitations this is just what from i've interpreted)
Any opinions on intake/exhaust with my setup?
After running it for a week and 73C gpu temps plans to switch the front rad to intake and the top to exhaust just for more positive pressure and gpu airflow even if it's warm rad exhaust.

Christ, another dude with cats and a Cerberus.
JK welcome.

Welcome, and congrats on your new build!
After seeing the pictures, my first reaction was that to flip some of the fans, but you’ve mentioned later that you’ve already done so - how you have it now was my suggestion as well.
We knew it!
Jokes aside. I’m tempted to get a regular version to add to my current X version

Hard to downgrade from a 480mm thick boy rad in my workstation to two 240mm thin boys.
little teaser:
I will post more pics in 1 or 2 days!

Pretty interesting combo..little teaser:

Based on my experience, if your bottom fan are intake, C14s fan will placed in exhaust...this will litterally remove all hot air coming from gpu..
37° peak on gpu. No hot air to remove.Pretty interesting combo..

I'll post first test in few hours, but my oc is not ready and I need to search a little more with this mobo
My radiators and tubing have arrived and I will be ordering 7 120x15mm Noctua fans. Would the following configuration work?
- 2 on top above the ATX psu as exhaust using the top bracket.
- 1 in front of the pump/res using the side bracket as exhaust.
- 4 on the 2 radiators as intake.

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%...Well.

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

And this is my watercooled gpu:
