Production Sliger SM550/560/570/580 (2 and 3 slot riser layouts, with air and liquid cooling variants)
- Thread starter KSliger
- Start date
Very realistic, I am working with EKWB to make sure it fits their kits and standard parts out of the box.
After the SM560 is posted we're going to do a bunch more benchmarks on cooling. People should also start getting SM550s and posting their own tests. Will be sending out review samples as well of both cases.
Yes, but is on purpose. This is also why case has the need for high static pressure fans. High static pressure in the case allows the GPU, CPU, and PSU fans to move air in tiny confined spaces rather than draw vacuums against side panels or other parts.
SM560 has more open area on top, both as a total and as a %, it might cool a little better on the GPU and CPU, but PSU may have to be turned with fan facing GPU for the 560 as it won't have that significant of static pressure to draw against. Don't think semi-passive mode will work in the 560.
Hope to have the SM560 page up Monday and get working on more tests / creating data to review!
The SM550 demcifilters work for both SM550 and SM560, I need to get these linked on the product page.

I will test that theory for high static pressure fans. I don’t have that but I do use Corsair ll120 rgb white (better than original) with 240mm aio white H100i platinum. I am choosing this over nouvolo Steck because I can use 4 fans instead of 3.
The LL120s I tested with originally were not very good at cooling the semi-passive mode, but were great at cooling the case with vented panels or when the GPU and CPU had their own fans. Excited to see your tests, we will link them from the product page.
This is fantastic news. As much as I love the C4, waiting for well over a year now with no end in sight for the development hell has left me jaded.
Seeing how quickly this is moving to market excites me, not to mention it's 90% of what I wanted, making me very happy.
I totally agree, first renders of the C4 were incredible but now it just seems to be spinning in circles. One thing I really like that @KSliger did was make 4 different versions which address nearly all anyone could look for in a itx build. You see so many of the case designers being constantly bombarded with requests for expansion, contraction or inclusion of damn near anything. Almost impossible to make a case that will please everyone, so why not make 4.

I totaly agree on their opinions, the C4- SFX original design was good and in my opinion, Dan should have gone for different sizes for the C4- SFX (like Phanteks Shift and Shift X) instead of pleasing all at once. But I still believe that when the C4-SFX comes to the market, it will certainly by very pretty.
SM550: 9.7L, 335mm x 139mm x 208mm
SM560: 11L, 335mm x 159mm x 208mm
SM570: 15.5L, 357mm x 150mm x 289mm (1x 240mm or 2x 120mm AIO + 330mm GPU)
SM580: 16.5L, 357mm x 160mm x 289mm
All are steel frame, with aluminum side panels.
That is very amazing, looking forward for it being avaible on an EU reseller.
So is that compatibility with the closed loop Phoenix expandable AIO's or something else?
Thanks. Just yesterday i was so close to buy an Ghost S1. Then i found accidentally a reddit post, this here looks better and has windows ^^. Plus, with the 580 there is space for a 3 slot GPU in the future.
Unfortunately, the BS3 can only be mounted in one orientation and won't allow air through the fins. Maybe it'll be possible to modify the mounting system somehow but for now it won't work.
The 240mm Phoenix will fit in both 570 and 580, but the 280mm Phoenix will not work in the 580 - it's really long.
SM560 is up for pre-order! (shipping 4/3/19)
Will get some review samples out next week, but in mean time please post what type of testing you'd like to see!
Happy to do whatever.

Super excited! But now I'm caught between getting solid or window side panels...I want them both so I can trade out D:
As far as testing goes, I'd like to see:
- Testing of passive CPU coolers, as many as possible from that list
- Performance impact for 3 slot GPUs when using the bifurcated riser that blocks some airflow
- A few different fans tested for non-vented configs (finding benefits for static pressure vs airflow)
Edit: Trying to add it to my cart, I get the following error:
"SM560 does not appear to be a valid category. Please login to your account manager and update your category list." Sad face.
Edit 2: Nevermind, it's fixed

Do you know if the colors used by demcifilter will match the colors of your case? I'd like to get the red bordered filter, but not if it'll clash with the red case...
1. Will see what passive coolers I can even get ahold of, and will test more of the fan coolers with solid and vented sides.
2. Testing would be same results as a two slot card, bifurcated PCIe 8x8x does not adversely affect GPU performance.

3. Will gather some fans up to test!
Fixed the category issue, takes a few minutes to update. Thank you for catching that!
I did not know they made a red - I think it would clash with the red though. Theirs looks really bright glossy red, this cases red is more of a matte mid tone red.
