What PSU do you have? Do you have a UPS that you could plug the computer into instead of direct wall power? You could also try finding a replacement extension cable and seeing if that changes anything.

SF750, and I guess I should have specified, I'm running through a UPS (though I have tried direct to wall with no improvement) I considered picking up another cable from the Sliger site to see if it improves. Just wondering if anyone had any idea if there was a cable available of higher quality/other ideas.
If you're in the US, check cables from Monoprice. They have right angle cable extenders (and left angle extenders), and get the 14AWG. Not to take a sale away from Sliger, but Monoprice has always been my go-to for cabling of every sort. You could probably get away with using a 10ft cable, coming from your PSU directly into the wall, if necessary, that was my plan.

I wouldn't mind taking a look. What would I search for? I'm not familiar with these types of cables. Unfortunately idk how practical a nonremovable cable would be from my case since I move around a bit.
I'm planning on dual 120mm AIO cooling my CPU and GPU.
Case is supposed to arrive today, so wondering if anyone has any predictions on how I should set that up ? I've mostly been considering bottom as intake, top as exhaust, with both 120mm AIO being side by side.
I still have my old H100 280mm I was using on my CPU, but don't think I could keep what I had with my full tower: 280mm as intake on top, and 120 on GPU as exhaust on back (would do bottom for SM580, but really not sure it fits.).
Whatever happens, will post build pics and size comparison and everything I've personally been starving to seer since first seeing the case concept on here.

Nice dude, my build is also to power my valve index. I got way too anxious waiting for the case and dropped my new 2080 into my old/current 2600k build to play it. That cpu is a champ it runs super well still. Absolutely blown away by the index, can’t wait to hook it up to a sff case with a handle instead of lugging around my huge honkin tower. What VR games are you getting?
If you're going double AIO, using the radiators as intake would get you the lowest temperatures. What side panels are you going to use?
The only thing I can think of is that the power extension cable could be causing EMI in the GPU when the whole system is under load. You could experiment with routing the cable other ways to keep it away from your GPU? Might be worth a shot.
For that setup intake would be best for your CPU and GPU, but there is a possibility that it could be hard on your VRM's, RAM, and PSU since you will be dumping the heat from the two hottest components straight into the case. I would say try it with both as intake, but monitor the VRM and RAM temps while stress testing both your GPU and CPU to make sure they don't throttle.
Edit: To be clear, I meant top as intake bottom as exhaust. Also, from what I understand the SM580 can fit a 120mm AIO in the bottom if you use a slim fan on it, so you may be able to use the other setup you suggested with a 280mm on top and a 120mm on bottom. In that case I would suggest using the bottom as intake and the top as exhaust since the GPU generally should take priority for cooling if this is a gaming build.

I went double window, I hate dust ... and it's worked fine with my full tower (no sff experience, if that was a super stupid thing to say)
It is a gaming build, this case is the smallest one I could find that could house the massive MSI 2080ti Trio X (at least I hope)
As it's set up in my full tower: I have the 280mm on the CPU (i7 7700K) as top intake, two front intake fans, and the 120mm on the GPU as rear exhaust. Had no issues whatsoever, with gaming at 4k for the GPU at 60-63 max (CPU I've never really looked or cared since the 280mm handled it so well all these years, but if I had to guess I'd say 60-65 too). Could run a quick test right now just to see.
Can I ask what your plans are for pump/res in the case? I'm 99% to just buying a Fractal Nano S because I want to have a proper res and pump.
Glad for you! I played a ton of Skyrim and Fallout on Rift, but the control mappings for Index are unplayable for both at the moment and Bethesda is ignoring those games (and never even released FO4 DLC for the VR edition) so I don't expect much there. Arizona Sunshine, Space Pirate Trainer, Budget Cuts, H3VR (Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades) and SUPERHOT are all fun VR games.
It's funny: I have a big sit-down gaming rig and a VR rig because I don't have space to play VR where I have my desk and I don't have space for a desk where I play VR and in the San Francisco bay, it's cheaper to have two PCs than it is to have a bigger apartment.
Good question and I wish I had the answer. I have a few combinations I'm going to try and will post what does and does not work. My bet is that I'll end up using an EK-XTOP SPC-60 PWM with a Switftech MCRES Micro.

That would be a good start. I see that the end connectors on the one Sliger sells has screw hole mounts, so maybe these cables won't fit properly.
Interesting. I have used extension cables with my Strix with no issues.
Exactly what I've been trying to say. The hot air rises concept doesn't really apply with computer cases with fans.
Where and how did you get a deal for thst AIO again? This is the best Corsair 240mm AIO among their choices, right?Quick question: The Corsair H100i Platinum RGB would fit in the SM570 right? I got a nice deal on them compared to the Kraken X52s at Microcenter
Also I've never dealt with RGB fans before? Do I have to buy those Node thingies for Corsair?
Got all the parts for my build now! Just gotta wait for the case. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fvP9sZ
@All
If I buy a Corsair 240mm AIO and replace their fans with Noctua ones, will I get significantly better cooling performance?
If so, can I use the included fand as bottom case fans for the SM570 and be golden instead of buying more Noctua fans that will just act as bottom case fans? Trying to save a little bit of money here.
What are the motherboard, SSD, and VRM temps in your full tower?
Dual-loop in a double-windowed SFF case might be a little challenging, as Bioforce pointed out. That kind of setup is really better suited for larger cases and open-air cases. The other components in the system may get a little warm, but maybe not unreasonably so. You should be okay as long as you have some free space for non-rad intake fans (as you do on your full system) bringing in cool air. I'd monitor the system temps carefully and do some dual load (GPU+CPU) torture tests early on to see how things look in a worst-case scenario.

Will fit fine in the SM570/SM580. Apparently it's only the H115i model that has fitment issues.
