Yeah I have a 7900x heat monster in mine. Which is why I didn’t think it would be a good idea because the amount of heat that would be coming off the cpu block.well using an ATX case for a 65W or lower cpu is a bit useless lol..![]()

Wow I’m curious to know if/how you are able to tame the 7900x in the Thetis.Yeah I have a 7900x heat monster in mine. Which is why I didn’t think it would be a good idea because the amount of heat that would be coming off the cpu block.
If it doesn't work with my Dark Rock Pro 3 i might go with a 240mm AIO. I am thinking since there are space constraints it might limit the ability of the fans to intake air since the psu is so close. Anywho, we are taking over a NCASE thread someone should create a thetis thread to continue this conversation if there already isn't one.Wow I’m curious to know if/how you are able to tame the 7900x in the Thetis.![]()
Don’t tease me like this. My emotions can’t take it.Thus your wait is almost finished as Cerberus-x will be released in serial pretty soon..![]()
We will see how market will welcome cerberus/cerberus-x..Don’t tease me like this. My emotions can’t take it.
Edit: November release now wow. I still like the design of this ncase much better and still going to hope and hold out but we will see.
I appreciate everyone's thoughts. IMO the M5 layout is hard to beat for what it sets out to do. I doubt I'll be able to come up with anything much better.
BTW, anyone see the new ASUS workstation board? I kind of want to make the M5 just to see someone cram one in...
For this, instead of the standard 8in wide case, I'd want a ~14x14x5 ... lay two 240mm rads parallel to the mobo, and a GPU parallel as well. You could lay all 3 side by side in a 13x10in space and somehow still fit a small SFX PSU in there.I appreciate everyone's thoughts. IMO the M5 layout is hard to beat for what it sets out to do.

Well, I should be cautious here, because I haven't examined the EEB spec. Wikipedia says the rear I/O is the same as ATX, but some of the standoffs are different (which I've confirmed by comparing the pic of the board with my reference ATX motherboard model). Physically, though, there's just enough space for it. There's about 3mm between the front fans and the edge of a 330mm deep EEB board.The M5 would fit an EEB board??
Kind of. Top 240 rad should work the same as it would with ATX (i.e., blocking some PCIe slots), but a front 280 is definitely out. Front 240 is probably out too, since it would overlap the front of the board, and the three foremost RAM slots would most likely interfere.Could you still water cool?
Now that would be something to see.I appreciate everyone's thoughts. IMO the M5 layout is hard to beat for what it sets out to do. I doubt I'll be able to come up with anything much better.

The only possibility for an ATX PSU with such a board would be at the back, positioned over the CPU area.Yeah that would definitely be something. One of the largest boards in a case that's traditionally the size of Mini ITX. I'd say then you need to put 7 of those single slot 1070s in there, but you'd need a massive ATX PSU, which I'm guessing won't fit with the wide board.
Well, I've previously mentioned a drive cage that could be attached to the front or top rails. That takes up one 120x120mm "slot" on the rails, though, so it's either/or with fans/rads/PSU for any given "slot" (of which there are four in total). That cage would mainly be for 3.5" HDD mounting, however.Necere, on a more serious note, have you given any thought to drive placement?
I thought one was in the works but I could be mistaken.Those sockets are comically large, you can bet there aren't waterblocks or Asetek brackets for them. You'd probably have to make one. What am I even talking about.......
Now we just need the M5, this $1000 board, and two of those 28-core $13,000 Xeons to break a Cinebench record
wonder what the intended use of those PCIe slots is. It's not like you can fit 7 graphics cards unless they are single slot ones, but why would a server need that. Also, for having 96 PCIe lanes
STH already has you beat
PCIe SSD storage, 100GbE networking or FPGA based machine learning come to mind
