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

[VegetableStu]

looking into the size of the Noctua U9 TR4 cooler and kinda figured out there's no space for a slim fan above it on the side bracket
No sure positive pressuring the crap out of it would help at this point ._. or settle with an AIO with a smaller asetek coldplate

Also wondering if Noctua would do a TR4 version of the C14S

Well, you should be able to put a 15mm fan on top of u9s.
U9S is 125mm height and cerberus is capable to host noctua c14s that is 142mm with fan on top...so it should work..

Do we have a list of compatible AIO cooler supporting AM4 with ATX PSU mounted? I have tried both ThermalTake and X52 Kraken, none working...

Thanks.

Can you post pictures of why it's not fitting? We can come up with a bracket for mounting ATX to make it work, seems to be a lot of AIO incompatibilities.

I remember people have been discussing about X52 before because the pump is too tall that it takes up the space for mounting the PSU.I was estimating with the Thermaltake Floe AIO Riing RGB 240 TT Premium Edition and there seems to be the same issue. I will post photos tomorrow after coming back home and install it myself. Using AM4 is worse because the processor is pushed a bit higher from the motherboard than Intel (correct me if I am wrong), making room clearance for cooler a tad shorter.

The H100i V1 works because of the way the hoses protrude on the side of the pump. I was able to get the H100i V2 to work with an ATX PSU but the hoses put more pressure on the back of the PSU than I was comfortable with (Contorted the rear bracket a little). My tests have been with Intel processors.

I'm interested to see the pictures and how much pressure the hose puts on the PSU.

Issue with aio and atx psu is mainly pump height and hoses position.
Taller pumps are simply not working.

After @KSliger, could you design an atx (and sfx) bracket that maximises cpu cooler clearance, even removing side bracket?

To all that placed orders after 1/12 for cases please know we're slightly behind due to the hinge doors for the cases not fitting perfectly on most recent batch. (They fit, but it's risky the screws may strip out.)

Getting them remade and should be shipping all cases by Tuesday worst case! (Friday best case, part orders are shipping normally.)

Delay applies for both Cerberus and Cerberus X. Apologies on inconvenience for the delays, appreciate your understanding.

PM or email me with any questions. (Or anything in general, love hearing from you all!)

@PlayfulPhoenix, @KSliger at the end, are Cerberus and Cerberus-X good sellers?.. Which version is your best seller?..

Staying mum on this for now. We've yet to promote the case at all, though, so we know that a lot of potential demand is untapped as of yet.

The MarcParis / Sliger Oops edition is definitely a very popular choice.

Thanks for the feedback.

Guys, the Thermaltake Floe AIO Riing RGB 240 TT Premium Edition fit with my RM750i PSU mounted perfectly!

great news. Do you have any photo to share please?

Any news on Cerberus X shipment? I was one of the unlucky ones who ordered after 1/12

At first glance, that avatar picture immediately reminded me of CTF-Facing Worlds from UT.

@KSliger

Is there still plans for a vented front panel?

No vented front panel, already having enough trouble with current number of SKUs. Sorry!

Just post a new update of my Cerberus-X...now dust filters are everywhere!...
