Hi! I'm a mechanical engineer who seek to try to go one step further in terms of SFX. I've designed cases before but you are the SFX-experts
What I am interested in is creating a case with the highest performance density, that is performance / liter. Therefore I would like you to give me some input on already good candidates in this matter.
How the performance is measured can be varied, but I will calculate with the most powerful hardware possible to put in with thermal limitations. Below I’m using 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra as benchmarking score.
From my own research I've seen;
Skyreach Mini 4 5L (+ 1L with separate AC-adapter) with space for 3070 and 10700K (not sure which temps that 10700K is getting with only a NH l9i…) Has an estimated score of 8500p with a performance-density of 1416 p/L
I’ve looked at the DAN 4 which can fit the best 3090, and probably an i9-10900K giving it a performance of est. 12500, and a performance-density of 1736 and is therefore slightly better in this matter.
The ZS-A4 V2 is similar to DAN4 with slightly worse PD.
K01 has similar setup as above.
Mjolnir is nice in design but larger.
Salvo Studios has a similar performance as the rest, at 7.9 L
My hope is to be able to engineer something with a power density at around 2000 p/L and sub 5L. This might not achievable with current hardware, but the releases in the next months could make that possible.
