  • No, not worth it b/c it is not better than the ROG 30XX, which fits now at <10L

? Finally an update! Case is in customs. #itshappening

My mini-ITX system is cursed. The Ghost S1 was damaged during delivery and the T1 will travel around a bit, since the post office is claiming my address is wrong and is sending it somewhere... I emailed them yesterday right after the tracking gave me the bad news.
I feel your pain buddy, patience is a virtue. Hope you'll receive yours soon!

I hope you get yours soon. Mine arrived this morning and had been in transit quite a while, but glad to say the shipping box was in good condition and the T1 box even better!

The flat pack will further prevent damage to the parts, so that was a great idea. I hope that this at least eases your mind a bit.

Edit: @Metroversal Happy the wait is nearly over for you!

For cooling performance, is it advised to go with the LT240 + 25mm + 15mm or the ST30 + 2 x 15mm? Trying to figure out if a bigger fan will cool better or a thicker radiator.

But @Wahaha360 never tested the ST30....hence why I'm asking.

Optimumtech runs an ST30 with 2 slim fans. I don't think any singular source or review have comparative data between LT240 and ST30. You will have to extrapolate with the info already out there. In this instance, @Wahaha360 ran a 240 watt 9900k on an LT240 and optimumtech ran 9900ks and 2080ti together on an ST30.

Yeah, I know but if I had to take a guess, the ST30 will give you some performance gains since it’s a low fin radiator (good for slim fans) but I don’t expect it to be too much. In my opinion, it’s not worth the trade off, since the Lt240 will fit much better.

I can’t say beyond that, but maybe someone has both and will test them at some point.

The actual fin core of the ST30 is almost the same thickness as the LT240, I think it was 1-2mm of difference when I measured it.

I *suspect Alphacool is using the same water tubes for both LT240 and ST30 to save costs, with the Fin core being so similar, I suspect the LT240 setup is going to outperform due to the thicker and *better sterrox fan at 25mm thick.

Glad to see more and more cases arriving, especially those in the US. I’ve been obsessed with reloading this thread constantly hoping for updates so that I can order one. ?

I can't wait to try whether a Hardwarelabs Black Ice Nemesis LS240 OEM is going to fit :)

27mm thick, 120mm wide, paired with Noctua slim fans.

Ps.: The Black Ice only has 16 FPI (optimized for low rpm/low pressure), should work out pretty good with the slim fans.

Anyone knows the purpose of these screws and black rubber pads?

Long screw can be used for the PSU mount (it's exactly the length of the central beam), and for securing the top and bottom panel (I used medium screw for the top since I ddin't have enough long screws for it)

The thumb screws can also be used for securing too and bottom panel. I used the long screws for any structural component that had a deep enough thread.

No idea about black rubber pads, though.

I'm somehow extra happy for you. Glad the package finally arrived! Have fun!
