The Chimera MachOne: For the pros. Small meets flexible.

[Wahaha360]

Hope to support the 158mm/160mm/165mm air cooler, I need to put 7980xe or 1950x in it, but I can't use the water cooler, because I often ride in high speed rail, sometimes I need to move house, water cooling can not be safely carried.

Ordered a Cryorig H7 Quad Lumni (4 heat pipes vs standard H7) to test on my 7900X. This cooler is 145mm tall, the limit for Gear 1.

It's between the Noctua U9S and U12S, rated for 160W, so your 7980XE might work. Depending on how well it works, I might follow up with Noctua about custom cooler.

Here is a video of someone testing it on 7900X

I just heard yesterday that manufacturers are developing more powerful air cooler(because of LGA3647 28c and 32c TR2). I am almost sure of the information.This means that the air cooler of 140mm- /200W+ is likely to have more choices, so it doesn't have to be restricted to down-blowing cooler. Hopefully, at least every version of you will make flexible adjustments. Thank you again.

You are correct. Hopefully at the time of launching this case.

What I want to say is that it's much better for silence/performance to have below 800rpm push pull 30mm radiator than having above 1300rpm 60mm push radiator.

Push - pull for 30mm rad is meaningless. All 30 mm rads are already optimized for low rpm.
When I see pictures of the case, I'm already convinced to pay )) but it doesn't match my requirments for water-cooling. I'm so sad now.

This is a game changer for sure

If we are thinking about OC, let's add 20%, so total TDP will be 330w. GTS280 (which is 30mm rad) is able to dissipate 165w in 750 rpm. So to cool components with possible OC we need 2 GTS280 in the loop, additionally, this system will be very silent.

I don't want my collant temps rise more than 10c delta, so that's why I need at least 3*140 area.

Cooler and power will be greatly improved this year, and 140mm is still a blank now. It is very important and urgent. So, I think manufacturers should not forget it, especially Noctua. What we need to do now is wait. This is definitely worth it.

Has it been confirmed what 3.5" / 2.5" storage configurations will be available?

5.25” is available, can you use an adapter?

There is only so much space, not enough for both 5.25 and 3.5”/2.5”

 

[LFletcher]

So the current plan for storage is to use the 5.25" bay with an adapter (like this one from Akasa), http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?t...e_sub=Active Case Accessories&model=AK-HDA-05 ?

Ideally I'd want to use 2 x 3.5" drives and 2.5" drives. I don't believe that's possible if there's only one 5.25" bay to utilise.

There is a bracket for 5.25 bay less than 100mm deep, adapters not included.

So do you know if it will be feasible to fit more than one 3.5" drive?

FYI, radiators set to exhaust give shitty performance compared to those that are set for intake...

I don't know, since I don't use 3.5" drive. Whatever you can fit into 5.25" bay less than 100mm deep, that's what will fit.

off the top of my head the most density you can get in there that includes a 3.5" will be 1*3.5" & 2*2.5". If your willing to move to 2.5" exclusively or to the SATA variant of the m.2 form factor your options increase quite substantially. the 100mm depth limit may or may not be a struggle w/ these kind of density optimised adapters though.

Fuck off and sell it to us already... teasing not good Yup, don't really have any serious concerns or complaints about the overall thingy. And december doesn't sound so far off...

 

[Nutty Pumpkin]

Don’t think it’s quite a “fuck off and do it”, type of deal here. I’m loving seeing more of this case. Shame your gratification must be instant.

 

[gunpalcyril]

@Wahaha360 That hd 60s really is vital, loving the setup! Also, have you done any testing with dual gpus inside the mach one? Seeing that using two gpus in that case means they will be stacked right next to each other, I'm deciding if I should go for 2x founder's edition 1080's or if I can get away with 2x zotac 1080 mini non blower style cards, for a future build of course.
