Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure
- Thread starter PlayfulPhoenix
- Start date
Quick word of warning: if you're using the ASRock Z170 ITX Gaming (or any other board with the same socket placement), the NH-L9i with the heatpipe tips pointing up (bends pointing down) and the top bracket/handle, then the fit is extremely tight. It does fit, but lining up the heatsink mounting holes is difficult with the board mounted in the case, and mounting the board with the heatsink attached is not really possible.
Useless tip: Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 140mm x 15mm fits in the handle kit ! I basically didn't want to waste my NH-L12S' slim 120mm fan since I'm planning on using that cooler elsewhere. I guess the bracket could be adapted to fit slim 140mm fans with 120mm mounting holes. But how it is restricting now it's no upgrade over a 120mm fan.

It’s just this prolimatech is difficult to find. At leadt cryorig 140xt is still here..
Hey chemist_slime, that's a crazy build. Could you share how well thermally is the case handling that amount of power? That's a mini microwave.
Too bad
I think it's the bottom row, so 3 but I have the Cerberus not the x so might want to confirm that.
-Slightly off topic: Was wondering if there was any way to just purchase the machined handle?
Earlier, it was suggested to use adhesive standoffs for the missing ones when mounting micro-ATX motherboards in the Cerberus-X

That looks awesome, I hope you'll be releasing this colour soon!
Have you guys looked at a UK Seller?
Also any ETA on the window panels?
Cheers!

Below is the post I was referring to. It contains another link to a store that sells adhesive standoffs:
Cerberus owners rejoice!

i really want the x399m, but after a cursory sanity check it’s either a 140mm aio or the noctua TR4 U9S. maybe even a higher wattage PSU as well
dammit I need to get to sleep
EDIT: There's the Arctic 33 Freezer TR though. 120mm fans and (hopefully within margin of error) 155mm in height (that's about the height with the side bracket removed)
