cant you lay the case on the side and put it in? so youre not having to hold up. rather you just lean it into place
Production Sliger SM550/560/570/580 (2 and 3 slot riser layouts, with air and liquid cooling variants)

That part I understand I mean to actually screw it in place. The bracket for the 280mm rads/140mm fans appeared to be blocked off from the top while the 240mm/120mm fan bracket you can see through the holes.
Well, currently all of the 5700 and XTs are using blower coolers, which aren't really comparable temperature wise to a good axial cooler. In the few experiments done with aftermarket coolers on the Navi cards, temps are surprisingly comparable to equivalent Nvidia cards. Personally, I will not purchase new Nvidia products (read not-used) because I morally disagree with their business practices and anti-consumer behaviors. So I'll sit and wait for a solid ~250W card with good 1440p performance with a 3 slot cooler that I can put in this case.
This is exactly what I did and it looks and feels secure.
Can confirm. It was hard enough getting the radiator in there. The only chance for a fan on it would be to make much taller legs and install them through the bottom, but then you have to drill extra holes to match the holes on the radiator.
This is exactly what I intend to do! Taller feet and case fans on bottom

Pure jealousy from me. Just twiddling my fingers hoping I get a shipping notification
EDIT: Yay, got my SM580 tracking number ? Coming in next Thursday. Gives me a few days to test all my parts; just bought the 3700X from Best Buy, about to pick it up now. Got nearly everything else except for cablemod PSU cables and a 40mm fan for the chipset. Hoping to do some good testing and tweaking of system in open bench this weekend.
Is there a mining BIOS available for that card? I would try flashing one, or tweaking your own. Mining BIOSes tend to have the most optimized settings for power and heat efficiency, or at least the power-specific ones do.

Hey everyone,
Been stalking this forum for awhile, finally decided to sign up. My question is about the sm580 and the h115i square rad fitment. I read that it wont fit coz the ball joints from the front of the case hit the square rads. I was just wondering if you run the rad without putting the front cover on would there be any issues? Would the case be secure without the front cover?

Do you guys mind sharing your order numbers? So we can get an estimate of what their on? just the 1st few digits.
BOOOSH! Got my number. tomorrow cant come fast enough. actually, im still waiting for that dang 3900x restock.
Got lucky and managed to buy one direct from AMD's website today. It's one of the few things they'll sell directly to the end user.
I saw that post on reddit 2 hours too late. ill get one eventually. still kinda mad that no one had any except newegg and micro center.
Question for anyone with the 580/570- I've got the Gigabyte X570-I board and have an M.2 drive to fit on the back of the motherboard. The motherboard comes with a little thermal pad which the manual recommends you stick on your drive but I'm wondering how useful that will be in a sandwhich style layout like the 570/580?
Without a heatsink on top of the thermal pad, will it really do anything? I always thought thermal pads needed something else like a heatsink to dissipate the heat to- or maybe Gigabyte was thinking the thermal pad on the back M.2 would be butting up against the metal of the case itself? I was thinking of maybe getting a little heatsink like this EKWB one but I might just wait and see how temps are first once I get the case and get building.

Hey it's Quakecon. Any news to report from the @KSliger booth? Wasn't there potentially another coupon? I wouldn't be surprised if things were still backed up from the last sale.
I'm waiting for the coupon to re-order. Someone leak the coupon already!

I was stalking the site. I manually typed in what the url was for the SM580 and kept refreshing the site every few minutes. When the pages turned from not found to showing there was a live HTML, I was ready. Could've been number 1 order, but sat there wondering what side panels I wanted for 15 minutes or so lol.
I believe that was Gigabytes intention as well, to have the pad press against the shell of the case. Better than nothing.
Most M.2 drives you see, even in laptops, dont have any cooling except a pad as well, or nothing at all. Performs just fine. Now if it were pcie4 m.2, then yeah you'll have heat issues.
