Completed The MI-6 Microtower Case: Performance in 6.7L

[ignsvn]

Quietly enjoying their blissful case! Mine is working hard as a Premier and Photoshop workstation.

Yeah perhaps that's the characteristic of the majority owners of MI-6 owners haha.

Mine is working hard as a software engineering workstation and casual gaming machine, while the NH-L12 cooler is constantly in battle against the tropical weather.

Btw I know the case is about 2kg, but have you guys ever try to weigh your build overall? How heavy is it?

 

[firewolfy]

The case alone is 2.8 lb or 1.3 kg.

Whoops. So 2kg is the overall packaging weight.

Yea would love to know the weight of a fully build system (I don't have a scale).

I was really worried we might not get an itx RTX card, but it looks like MSI is coming through. Videocardz article.

Oooh, 1080 performance, but even smaller than a 1080 mini, looking forward to reviews.

 

[rfarmer]

One of the reasons I went with the Aero itx was I just like how it looks compared to the Gigabyte and this one looks just like my 1070.

Sometimes I need to bring them to the office.


Bag outer dimension is 43 x 27 x 18 cm (H x W x D) . Inner dimension should be around 41 x 25 x 15 cm (H x W x D)

Yup can still put up to 15.6 inch portable monitor in there. Perhaps later in 2019. Edit: or after finance minister give her permission.

For those running custom cables, how much difference did it make in temperature?

Same question here. And not only CPU and GPU, but disk drives temperature as well please.

 

[rfarmer]

Hopefully @firewolfy can comment when he gets his cables, I never used the stock cables in my build. Probably be a minor improvement due to improved airflow.

The day has finally come. I found a small scratch mark on my MI-6's top plate.

Funny tho.. not sure where it came from. Definitely not me.

Oh well, still love the case

Still deliberating on a CPU cooler along with new ram. Was set on the L12S but I don't think they'd fit with G.Skill TridentZ ram for that sweet B Die.

Why not Noctua NH-L9x65?

 

[rfarmer]

Why not Noctua NH-L9x65?

That is probably the best cooler you can get that would allow the taller ram.

Looks like it, unfortunately. I only remember seeing some of the data Firewolfy posted earlier in this thread regarding the performace of the L9x65 being substandards compared to many of the other coolers, and was a little put off by the results.

Oh I agree, either the Big Shuriken 2 or the Noctua NH-L12 will have better cooling but you won't be able to use the G Skill TridentZ ram. Personally I go for shorter ram and better cooling.

It won't work unless you remove the heat spreader of the RAM.

Doesn't Corsair use guaranteed B-Die in some LPX models?

The NH-L12S won't work in the MI-6 anyway. It's 70mm tall. You can run the NH-L12 (non-S) without the top fan (only the bottom 92mm fan) in the MI-6.
