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

I am getting ok performance from CPU and GPU now with C14s as intake, i removed the rear 92mm exhaust fan and placed it on top of the GPU jut below the C14s, that clears out the pocket of hot air that sits there and forces it out of the top exhaust (i have a nf-a12x15 there). i still might try with an AIO to see if i can make it work, either 120mm in the front intake or 240mm on the top exhaust with no coverWell it depends...
For GPU cooling, yes, 645LT is beating C14s inside cerberus-X
For CPU cooling, C14s is beating 645LT only while used as intake (but this is worst case for GPU cooling). C14s as exhaust is worst on cpu cooling but good for gpu cooling.
In my case, I always used C14S with Dual fan (either exhaust or intake..
). While using C14S, Rear fan is mostly useless..For AIO, definitely Front 120mm/140mm intake with Rear SFX PSU & side exhaust should work really fine.
Top 240AIO in exhaust should be difficult to do (doable with mod) and result, in game, should be average as "fresh" air will come from exhausted hot air from GPU..
Checked back through the last several pages I'd missed to see if anyone had tried it yet. I found some time and installed the Iceman NCASE M1 DDC Pump/Res unit to the back of the mATX Cerberus. Very pleased with the result.
nice to share it again to Cerberus community..
This external DDC/Reservoir Iceman is very convenient to watercool everything inside Cerberus..
What about noise or vibration?
Its not as quite as a D5 that's for sure, which I knew moving to a DDC unit, but without having the prior experience to rely on its difficult to gauge.nice to share it again to Cerberus community..

It does come with vibration pads for the screws but I didn't install them and I haven't heard any vibration noise using the EK 3.2 DDC PWM.
Thanks as Always @MarcParis for your thorough tests.
I presume that a 3080 FE is same length as a 3090FE. Would a front NFA12 fan fit in the front of the case for helping to vent the hot air off the GPU? Looks like it might be a little long.
Also what is IBT 2.54?
3080 fe is 285mm, 3090 fe is 313mm per nvidia's site
IBT is Intel Burn Test. Quite useful tool to test CPU & RAM overclock stability. Used it since a couple of years and proved to be very good to test both CPU & RAM stability.
I used it also for comparing CPU coolers but you need to store also total time required to finish IBT 2.54 Very High (to make sure CPU is working as expected)
No. RTX 3080 FE is way smaller (2 slots, 285mm long) than RTX 3090 (3 slots, 313mm long). By the way, no place to front fan with RTX 3090 (possible with RTX 3080)...on top of that, I don't recommend to use longer GPU than 313mm in Cerberus...as it could be impossible to fit inside (there is a narrow passage just above GPU location).
Doing a bit of an update to my build. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on sleeving? I am going to be sleeving 1 24 pin connector and 3x8 pin PCIE ones. Should I go purchase out from moddiy and use their pre sleeved cables or do it myself? Just curious on people's thoughts here.
Also what should be the optimal measurements for these cables if my ATX PSU is mounted above the CPU?

My question/post is about another variety. I recently ordered a Cerberus and while they sent an order confirmation, it's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything from them. I've requested some info/clarification from their sales email/support twice, but I've yet to receive any type of reply. Is this company still alive?
The old product page shows it is no longer available, but I found a new product page here:

Hi, I'm very intrigued to Cerberus X for my Threadripper build. I would like to check if all my components fits before purchasing.
Here's the list of components.
Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Master E-ATX MB.
Enermax LIQTECH TR4 II 280 AIO CPU Cooler.
SilverStone SX800-LTI SFX-L Power Supply.
Possibly a 120mm or 140mm Noctua fan on front.
Possibly a 92mm fan on rear.
Thanks!

Welcome!
TRX40 eATX MB (only +2cm width vs standard ATX), SX800 LTI (rear mounting point) are fitting Cerberus-X.
Liqtech TR4 280 should fit inside Cerberus-X in front position...but it will depend on your GPU length.
Thanks MarcParis for a quick answer!
Given that TRX40 eATX mb is only +2cm compared standard ATX, would SX800 fit in front position? I guess if it does not work, I may go with a standard ATX mb.
For the AIO cooler, does 280mm cooler fit on the bottom position? I would not want to sacrifice a GPU length for this. If 280mm won't work, I guess I can go with 240mm to be safer.
