Production Lazer3D LZ7 - Quiet Gaming Cube PC Case

[K888D]

I could never be without my computer for so long, lol, but thanks for the suggestion

If you take a straight line out the middle front facing surface of a standard sfx power supply across to the front edge of an ITX motherboard, then 90 degree bend downwards to the top surface of the motherboard, you are talking a measurement of roughly 21cm.

This is presuming the main power connector is along the front edge of your motherboard. The 4 pin power connector may be in a different position and require more length, possibly up to 30cm if it's near the side rear of the board.

From the middle of sfx psu to top of storage drive panel with a small bend downwards your talking roughly 14cm.

From the middle of the sfx psu to the power connector on a typical itx GPU is roughly 18cm - 22cm depending on socket positions.

Please note these are rough figures, every build combination will be slightly different. Add some extra length to each cable if your not 100% sure.

It's probably safer to wait and measure properly though, it's pretty much guaranteed those figures quoted above won't be tailored to your specific build!

Alright, thanks. I really want the minimalistic panel. The other panel looks great, but I just can't deal with front I/O cables anymore. They are the bane of cable management in small spaces.

I will see what I can do to make them available as an extra panel to order seperately.

@Mackan I think making the Vandal switch panel available at this stage is going to be too difficult so close to launch, I forgot that it would also need the non I/O corner piece to go with it. We may be able to add it at a later date though.

Is that with both of the NH-L12 fans and operating in your M1 case I presume? I might be reading it wrong, but it looks like the Diode temp maxed around 74C and the CPU temp maxed around 67C? Not sure what the difference is between those 2 figures.

You are correct, 67°C ! I got confused with the Diode temp.
Only the top 120mm fan is being used.

The 44°C in idle is on the high side though. Or wasn't that idle?

It's a Ryzen 1800X with a rather high Vcore range of 1.3 to 1.5V, I'm glad the NH-L12 single-fan can manage it

This test is a little different of the scenario we'll be using in LZ7 (no 120mm and using the 92mm, with a 140mmX15mm fan blowing air from the side) but I believe that proves that NH-L12 is a good solution for ryzen....


I think that your vcore is a little too high, but that is silicon lottery, right?

Yeah it feels a little high, but I'm waiting for either another firmware update or a new (mITX) board altogether to tweak it.

Is it possible to use a 120mm fan as the case fan? The new Noctua NF A12x15 looks promising

Slim (up to 15mm thick) 120mm or 140mm x 140mm* fans will fit.

* Some 140mm slim fans measure 140mm x 150mm. These won't fit.

I really like the design and the simplicity of the LZ7 case. I would like to have a i7-7700k and use the pc as a portable workstation for SolidWorks. What would be needed to make it work if all were possible? A better and taller CPU coller like the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock LP and make the case taller? Thank you!

Thank you and welcome to the Forum!

The highest CPU I've personally tested in the LZ7 is an i7-7700 (non K), but it runs quite comfortably.

A few people who bought the First Edition put i7-6700K's in theirs without issue, so I guess it depends on what your expectations are?

I'm sure you could run an i7-7700k no problem when paired with a suitable sub 65mm tall cooler, so long as you don't mind running at stock clocks or expect too much of an overclock.

I am thinking at some point of releasing an alternative rear panel for those who would like to use a DC power supply + external brick, this would open up all the space of the SFX power supply so you can use a tower cooler up to something like 125mm in height.

First video review of the Lazer3D LZ7:


I really recommend checking out Oafah's YouTube channel, very entertaining content with a slight twist on your typical tech vids.

I just hope that the price Oafah mentioned in the video are not the final ones....

The price is going to be around £180 (depending on your configuration). This includes 20% UK VAT, if you live outside the EU the VAT is automatically deducted during checkout.

This is on the expensive side for me, but really a great case.
Looking forward to see how this evolves and in what configs it will be used.

Great work.

I don't see where overclockers sell panels/corner pieces separately. Will it be added later?
