Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

[loader963]

The first time, I put it between the GPU and the bottom rad at the back. However, I changed it to between the two radiators in bottom front when I changed up the loop as I thought it looked cleaner. No pics of the changed one, but it turned out nicer imo.

Did you try to clear the bios with the button in the rear io panel? Sometimes with my z370-i I had to clear it when I got too aggressive trying to OC and had the same symptoms you are describing.

Yes, the only way to get the motherboard to boot is to unplug the cmos battery. This was a huge pain in the ass with the massive VRM heatsink-i/o shield combo on the Asus Z390i.

Does anyone have the experience of having to install the gpu before mounting an EATX board?

No, not me, but why?

 

[CantingSoup]

No, not me, but why?

When I tried to mount install the gpu after, the slot was hitting the motherboard, but I fixed it by installing the gpu first. Just wanted to see if anyone else ran into the same problem.

Could you send picture about it??

You can see how the slot touches the motherboard when attempting to install after mounting the motherboard.

 

[VegetableStu]

did you remove the PCIe mounting cover before installing? o_o just to check

 

[CantingSoup]

Is it the long plate that goes above the slots? If so, I didn’t remove it.

 

[Phuncz]

You indeed need to remove that plate or cover to add/remove PCIe cards.

 

[VegetableStu]

yeah that's removable so adding cards would be possible o_o
(i mean it's a challenge for leaving it in)

 

[CantingSoup]

Thanks all. I feel dumb lol.

 

[VegetableStu]

it's alright, LOL. trivial mistakes are nothing

EDIT: for reference, the reason why there isn't a cover for most other cases is because the mounting tabs are inside the case rather than outside, so that's not a thing in those cases

 

[loader963]

Thanks all. I feel dumb lol.

Nah. Dumb is staying silent and never learning a better way because you’re afraid to look stupid, therefore staying stupid.

 

[MarcParis]

Thanks all. I feel dumb lol.

Don't be blame...I was caught also on my first Cerberus-x assembly..

Once our handle delay is over and the coupon for OptimumTech expires we will be getting on NewEgg. I need to check back in with Joshua / Dan / Wahaha about SFFLAB - they have a lot planned and a bunch of projects, will see where this falls.

It's been another few weeks since the coupon expired, what's happening with NewEgg?

 

[TheHig]

Leak test is go.

Hoping for a shakedown cruise tomorrow.

Same as delays with the other cases I was developing - we had large existing customers buy out all our production capacity well past end of year. We're running 24/7 right now, I am at the limit of what we can do until new equipment is in budget.

Also, coupon code!!
