Hi guys, I'm very new to this SFF forum and I would love to share my LOUQE Ghost S1 build that I was more than lucky to get my hands on. Moving down from fullsize ATX build (H500P) to an SFF like this GhostS1, I hope you guys enjoy my build as much as I did while building it!
Proper shots on two sides of the case (without panels) - dat sexy Vega 64 LE though!
Pangaea is brushed green metallic finish (many call it army green or Master Chief edition) - not the color you see everyday! How it comes out really depends on the lighting and can get super bright in direct sunlight (more on this later). This is the shot that I prefer the most.
Close shot on the copper top-grill - I personally think this one best fits with the Pangaea color!
The material used for the cable set are Chinese PET sleeves with 17 gauge copper cable. The local modder call it “golden-ish yellow” but for me it is honey mustard. The whole set only costed me $33 as I can't afford anything better after buying the case
The PSU i'm using is a SFX-L form factor which is significantly bigger than SFX as most people use in their Ghost S1. The material was not that soft, so I had to pushed the cables in a little for the panels to close properly. Nevertheless I'd say he did one hell of a good job, and nice value!
The aluminum sides are really thick, and the whole case is super heavy to pick up. Here is a shot where you can see the color really changes!
The baby sitting on my desk - totally different color but it's the closest to IRL! I always enjoy seeing this beauty everyday.
Temps are very fine - with the settings in the specs above, CPU tops 85C maxed on prime95 blend (78C without sidepanels on), and GPU is @79C on Superposition (doesn't matter if the panels are closed or not since it is a blower-style graphics card). During gaming with sidepanels closed, my CPU hardly goes above 66C and the undervolted GPU maxes out at 72C.
I could've upgraded to a NF-A9 for an additional of 400rpm or even go for a slim 120mm for ~10C instead (gotta change to LP RAM modules), but as ZEN2 CPUs are coming out and I can wait until then as I am currently very happy with the build - cheers!
Update!
I've successfully switched to A12x15 120mm slim fan from my B9 92mm stock fan and temp results are AMAZING - 10*C drop! The downside other than me knocking out one RGB diode of one of my TridentZ modules, the fan is now more audible but I'm more than happy with the results!
