Gemcase C9
We are happy to announce our case Gemcase C9 this is a mini ITX PC case with external volume ~4.4L. The case is designed for a full-fledged computer(internal PSU and GPU) as of workstations or gaming it features space for two full sized 92mm case fans helping to draw cold air into the case not only for CPU but also for DDR, SSD(nvme) and all in case components to maintain a more stable temperature while creating minimal noise. Also our case features the ability to be installed horizontally(HTPC like) and vertically(PC like usual).

Technical characteristics:

Size(Height x Depth x Width): 210mm(8,27") x 208mm(8,2") x 101mm(4")
Weight: 0,8kg
Motherboard: mini ITX (incompatible ASUS ROG STRIX B660, B760)
CPU cooler clearance: 37mm (with 4mm clearance to grille)
DDR clearance: 46mm
Graphic card: low profile(Width 70mm), two slot(Height 40mm), Length 182mm(Gigabyte GeForce RTX4060 Low Profile, RTX A4000 SFF, RTX A2000, GTX1650, GTX1050ti, RX6400)
Storage: only NVME SSD
Power supply: Flex ATX, HDPLEX 250W
Case fans: 2x 92x25mm(top placement - exhaust)
Materials: stainless steel and steel powder coated; front panel - oak(maple) wood with oil coating

Package content: Case, power button, front USB 3.2 Gen2 Type C, screws(including screws for HDPLEX and FLEXatx fixing), rubber feet both for HTPC and PC orientation.
Riser requirements: 180 degrees double reverse riser with riser cable length 18,5cm or full riser length 20cm

Case price - 140€(150$)
If you want to purchase a PC case, you can contact us by email venturedecades@gmail.com, private conversation on the SFF forum or Discord.


Noise reduction

During the development of the case, we also measured the noise generated by the fans, because we wanted to be sure that case doesn't significantly increases noise.

The graph shows measurements of our first prototype and second prototype after the changes were made.
During measurements, the microphone was in close proximity to the fan, so the noise level values can only be taken into account relatively, which means that the difference in level can be taken into account and the order of noise reduction can be accurately determined from this curves.
Also graphs allows us to visually assess and calculate the difference in level and, based on this, accurately determine the order of noise reduction. On average we get 4 dB reduction in noise level, which is significantly noticeable by ear, In numerical value 4dB is equal to 1.58 times which can be expressed as 63%.

Quietness and coolness

First screen - case fans off 10min cpu burn, cpu fan 40% constantly

Second screen - case fans on(curve regulated) 10min cpu burn, cpu fan 40% constantly


We have -9 degrees Celsius difference in CPU temperature, that's impressive! Also what graphs don't show how slowly CPU gets hotter with time(when case fans- on) it is twice as slower comparing to turned off case fans.
Using GPU with open radiator(like RTX 4060 LP) or fan modded RTX A2000(4000) will improve GPU cooling too.

Front panel exclusive - two color walnut.
Update 18.09.2023
Preorder STARTED!
Preorder ends 30.10.2023.
Pre-order is organized in the set of 10 orders(funding), after which production will begin.

In a separate post we will keep track of the number of applicants and the number of remaining order till production start.
Let me explain:
1. First, you contact us to clarify the details of the order and take one case for yourself and at this stage you do not pay anything.
2. After receiving 10 orders for a case, we re-contact everyone to confirm the order and pay for it. Payments will be made via PayPal.
3. Launching production - the cases will be ready till 24.11.2023.
4.Delivery will be carried out worldwide, using delivery services, the cost of delivery will be agreed at the stage of accepting orders.

I don't think I'd run a 7950X on a 37mm CPU cooler. Coolers of that size are typically installed on 65W TDP (88W actual) processors; the 7950X is 170W TDP (230W actual). You'd have to heavily undervolt and power limit the CPU in order to keep the temps down, which will come at the cost of multi-core performance. It can be done but compromises will have to be made.

I have an L9a (37mm) on my 5700X and it struggles to keep up at 90W. I'd highly recommend getting a case that can support at least 70mm if you want to get the most out of a 7950X.
