Prototype The world most flexible SFF case? LOUQE Ghost S1

[dumplinknet]

US customers, expect another 5 weeks of delay. Expect to get your case towards the end of October. Assuming everything goes according to plan.

What ever happened to the 2 day shipping priority loque was talking about?

Customs, I believe

2 day shipping once it clears customs. Until then, gotta wait.

Yep. Having ordered stuff in the past from asia, it usually takes 2 - 4 days to get to the UK, then another week to a week and a half due to customs and final 'last mile' shipping.

not really...the 2 days is from the factory to the region (europe or usa)

Dear community, I'm completely new to PC building and am excited about building my first PC, just with a couple of questions..

Would the GTX 2080 founders edition likely fit in the XS case ?
And what power supply would I need ? and can I fit a fan below that PSU in addition to a 2.5" SSD ? Thank you !

The 2080 FE is a 2 slot card, so yes it will fit. a 600w sfx power supply. not sure on the fan 2.5" drive combo.

Hello people!

I'm pretty excited about getting this case in a month, but I'm wondering if my build is really sound: I ordered a M top hat, and I intend to fit in the case the following: Gigabyte Z77n, i5-3570K (which I intend to delid and relid first) cooled by a Cryorig C7, 8GB of RAM, GTX1060 6GB, 2 SSDs, 2 HDDs and a Corsair SF450 to power all of that.

Does that seem doable? Do I need more fans and would they fit?

Thanks!

Why delidd? If you can wait just upgrade to 9700K. Its lidded from factory. And you get more performance for pretty much same price for delidding tools and liquid metal + no risks and you keep your warranty.

IF you can get the Noctua L12. Not the L12S. That’s their recommend cooler.


Get a single 8GB ram stick, so you can upgrade if you feel it’s to little.

That’s a lot of SSD and HHD. Why so many ?

Your i5 is a 77w tdp chip. I would recommend keeping as is and changing the cooler to either a Noctua L12 or L9x65, orSilverstone AR06 as they offer better cooling than the C7. Not sure about fitment on the top hat but you might be able to get 2 of your drives and a regular 120mm fan in there, the other 2 drives can go at the bottom of the case under the psu.

I already have all those parts, and I'm not really eager to change anything as I don't need a more powerful rig. As for the HDDs and SSDs, there's one for Windows 10, one for OSX, and the HDDs are for storage...

Thanks! I'm considering delidding because the CPU runs at 50°C when idle, which is suspiciously high. I'll look into the Noctua though.

Have you tried using new thremal paste?

Don't think i responded to this. This thread is epic. I'm planning a air cooled ryzen 1700x. Currently using an AIO to OC my chip to 3.9GHz @1.375v. Anything above 3.9Ghz requires 1.4v+, and at this voltage temps go up quite abit.

For my planned air cooled build i'm going to use the medium tophat, Noctua NFA12 fans (already own), NH-L12 cooler (just purchased). Will run my setup at stock speed with a slight undervolt - i think i can get 1.3125 instead of the stock 1.35v on my chip. I'll see how this goes, as my fall back is AIO with large tophat.

No GPU?

Getting board with my Little Devil mid-tower, rocking a 3820 and 1080 that I threw in there a couple summers ago. Love, love, love this case - but I also want to go pretty extreme on the components. I've watercooled all my builds (full custom loop), but I don't like the Top Hats, defeats the purpose of SFF (IMO!). Am I absolutely insane/stupid to try to rock an i7 9900K and RTX 2080 on air in one of these?

Sounds like you are asking for trouble
Here is some water inspiration.

I asked Louqe about this and they run an air cooled system with a Ryzen 7 2700X and an EVGA 1080 Ti. It gets a _tad_ hot they say, but nothing to worry about, and all quiet. This using a Noctua NH-12 (not the S-version).

You _could_ use the smallest top hat and put in a couple of 15 mm noctuas? Won't add much extra bulk to the case then!

Yes! Only kidding . Hard to say as the items haven't been benchmarked for temps. You'll probably need a medium tophat for extra fans if you are planning air cooling.

Nope, there's no way to fit all that in there. There's no room for HDD's, but there's room for up to 3 SSD's, if you don't add a case fan. If you want to add a fan, you'll only have room for a single 2.5" SSD.
