This has been a strange little case to work in:


This is not my first time in a small case, the Skyreach S4 mini is a small case, I assumed this would be as easy to build in, was I wrong.

  1. Not all motherboards are the same,  in  my case I had a  riser for the USB and SATA that gave me clearance issue
  2. The Fan orientation has to be set as exhausting in to the case, so you need to flip the fan around, but the blades touch the radiator, just enough to cause them to touch, to solve this I added spacer between the radiator and the fan at the bottom to give them enough room to clear, I will add the photo
  3. I had the PUS reversed, became clear that I could not get enough air to keep the PSU cool
  4. I had to run the GPU and CPU cables through the back of the case, this gave me less cables in the front to manage, even with Corsairs cables it would not close
  5. This little AIO is good, but I will have to Delid the CPU to get some respectable temperatures
  6. The Asrock X299 Motherboard has a daughter card that has USB 3 and all the SATA, need a right angle adapter to use make it work, would not close, for now I have something on order, i will update when it arrive
  7. The GPU was no issue, using a GTX 1080 (Founders edition)
