Hello did also my first loop on 2600x + rtx2080ti solo lt and barrow gpublock (inspired by optimum tech video) and it works great. I just made some cut in bottom and a custom top for better air flow

How's the pump noise when the fans are running low RPM?

Really more quiet than the asetek 645 I used before. FYI No overclock on cpu nor gpu. But a little undervoltage on gpu thx to optimum tech.

Any plans to expand shipping country list or are the purchases outside the list of destination countries handled individually?

Send msg directly via website for countries outside the standard list. Will see what we can do.

So the weak magnetic side panels are a main complaint I read online. How bad is it really?

It's not the magnets strength that most people have had issues with, its the adhesive coming off after prolonged heating. To maximize their hold, clean the panel with Acetone and then isopropyl alcohol before sticking down the strips, then put a heavy object on them for an hour or so. My V1.0 beta held out under daily HTPC/Gaming loads for more than a year without issues, but eventually on a particularly hot day gave out. You can always put a few dots of super glue on to enhance the hold as well, but I ended up epoxying on some N52 NdFeB magnets as I started hauling it around to LAN.

Can fit normal CPU cooler instead of low profile?

CPU height clearance 70mm, suggest you use Noctua, NH-L12S for air cooling

Oooo it the same as Steck clearance

Another question: does this case feature a motherboard cut out? My motherboard has the M.2 slot at the back.

 

[Poblopuablo]

Yes it does.

Any update of new version of steck?

Hi guys! Is it ok to run a m2 storage device (as unique storage device in the build) without heatsink in the back of the mobo?
Does it heat up too much? If yes, could it damage the riser cable that is above it?

Any plans to support 3-slot GPU (60mm thick) in any of your future cases? @Nouvolo

Probably not with Steck but in a separate product

Please make it happen! Kinda hard to find an aesthetically pleasing SFF case with 55-60mm thick GPU yet. With many of the aftermarket cards that are thicker than 2-slot (especially in Asia), I'm sure there is a market for it.

@Nouvolo - what is the thread on the thumbscrews for the stack side panel. I'm building out a custom loop and my GPU + fittings are too thick for the case. I want to design 3d print a set of standoffs to make it fit. My 6/32 and M3 screws don't thread into the mount points on the case so I'm not sure what screws I should be using here.

 

[emadman]

Never mind. Those were not 6/32 screws I was using there.

 

[Poblopuablo]

Yeah, they should be 6/32.

All screws for Steck should be M3
