^Right, that's what it looks like. Curious about the utility though.

I like to play a game

LTT style custom cables to the PSU!

@Necere
You are right it is for a PSU mount and this will offer a epyc unique use-case.

And its made for LTT because he is one of the few out there that can give it a try.

FlexATX PSU?

FlexATX PSU?

It's the SFX hole mount pattern.

Hmm....

SFX PSU (not SFX-L) mounted that direction = lots more space for the motherboard. mATX layout for the adventurous? An LTT mATX, dual GPU (either slim or 1 each in the horizontal and vertical mounts) build?


Also, it's worth noting that this case is the first in a long time to get me to seriously consider going back to air cooled GPUs. Of course the great cooler on the reference 6800XT helps push me in that direction too. Has the benefit of me not needing to get a second radiator or GPU waterblock, I can run my Aquanaut + EK 240 PE as a DIY AIO. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions. Definitely attractive in terms of freeing up budget for a new case.

Something to do with vertical mounting the case or/and hot plugging it, idk

 

[prayogahs]

Watercooling the SFX PSU lol

 

[Bonusround]

So... the PSU mounts against the front frame, intakes air from the side (as usual) but now exhausts forward, behind the front panel, making the hole in question for the mains power cable.

But why? I can think only of this: so that, when flipped, the PSU does not exhaust into the case itself. Is that it, or part of it?

 

[dondan]

A sp3cial hint: Mounting the PSU this way enables a special compatibility with a component - What component iw this?

 

[thelaughingman]

the only advantage I see is that by rotating the PSU 90 degrees and mount to front frame, you gain back the volume up top that was not usable before because of the tall power extension plug. but IIRC it's only about 10mm in height (?) so not sure what can be squeezed in there haha

wait, ATX PS/2 PSU?

 

[paulesko]

Does it have something to do with the 12v intel standard?

 

[carpet3]

A reservoir?

 

[dondan]

@paul Not directly but if you do this sp3cial build it will be a part of it.

 

[paulesko]

Well, honestly I don´t know, but the measurements for sfx12v power supply with the 12vo intel standards, give these psus a 40mm fan on the side, so the whole psu would have a thickness of just 50mm which is more or less the same as the motherboard IO panel... giving the possibility to mount a very thick side radiator (unlikely, I guess) or some kind of vertical gpu with a non-standard cooling device which I´m not aware of, because that cooling device could go behind the pcb... using the extra room that psu could provide....... I don´t know, I´m completely speculating.

 

[thelaughingman]

@dondan tbh cannot recall anything worth considering sp3cial from LTT's videos in recent times ☹

 

[dondan]

Someone on reddit solved the puzzle.

Please track my last comments: I said sp3cial and i said epyc unique

 

[Valantar]

Ah. So squeezing ... a 64-core Epyc build into this? Sounds pretty cool Makes me wonder what motherboard they'll be using, as I can't find any SP3 motherboards smaller than full ATX from a quick search.

@dondan Three expansion slots? Now we're talking.
