Prototype SFFtime presents: U-ITX - 7L lightweight console case that fits 3slot GPUs

[Mosskovskaia]

Risers will be included (choice between gen3 or gen3) because they are custom length. It will be cheaper than P-ATX + riser ofc

I hope this is just a typo

Haha just realized lol, yeah it is ofc

On your description, you said it can fit up to 3 x 2.5" drives. Are you able to advise exactly around which part of the case those drives will sit in?

Two would sit behind the gpu (max 2 slot for gpu) and third one above cpu cooler (will limit the cpu cooler height)

 

[Mosskovskaia]

That’s gonna be hot if you put the ssd above the cpu cooler. In my opinion is m.2 the way to go with a small case like this

Ok I did some test fitting with "4090":

It is a special matte black edition, 1/1 in the world. It fits, tightly of course

I have both on my current build that I'm planning to move to this case. I'm currently using Silverstone SG13 and plan to downsize further to something like this form factor.

Is the tentative launch still for November?

I'm curious what cable lengths are being used here?
I imagine that most stock cables will be annoyingly long in such small case

True, if you use a gpu that leaves some space than stock cables are fine but for something that barely fits like this 4090 you will want shorter cables.

It is yeah

I have a 5 7600 and a Asus dual 4070 super.
My Axp120-67 does a fabulous job but it will not fit. I’m thinking about modifying the side panel. Any ideas?

Honestly I would just get some 47mm tall cooler, there are some cheap good ones and 7600 is really easy to cool. Otherwise you could just add some M-F M3 standoffs to the left panel.

I already undervolted and optimized it with the axp120-67 in Noise and thermals. There is a big test with the 47mm on SFF compared to 67mm. 8-9 degrees difference could be a lot in smaller cases.

People are really obcessed with temps these days as a reminder as long as the cpu stays decently cool (around 80°), perform well and is quiet it is a pass, a ryzen 7600 should be easy enouth to cool. Personally I'm going to try the 5700x3d. With cryonaut thermal paste and the accessory that you put on top of the l9a to create an air tunnel. I think it should pass but I will only see once it is done

 

[Snerual]

This case has a very clear goal: Be the most compact console style case that can still fit 3 slot GPUs (including reference 4090!)

If you expect wider parts compatibility (SATA SSDs, larger air cooling, ASUS ROG Strix GPU, whatever) there are other cases out there like the super pretty Fractal Design Ridge.

 

[riba2233]

Or the N-ATX of course Goal is to have something for everyone over time, wish I could develop cases faster but it is what it is for now.

 

[dully]

Did anything come of this?

Please read some previous comments, it is coming out very soon

Can you share how the SFX bracket is connected? I was wondering if I could use the overtek flexatx-> SFX adapter (https://www.overtek.co.uk/collectio...flex-atx-black-anodise-aluminium-adapter-copy) with offset with an ATX motherboard (or narrow ATX motherboard 305mm x 210mm) if the components under the PSU area are 25mm or lower...
