Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

[Wenzell]

question to anyone who might know, what PSU cable lengths are optimal for a velka 7 if i wanted to get custom cables?

I made a thermal example video as people were asking for it. I show noise, utilization, and temperatures with 2080 FE and Ryzen 2700. Running Red Dead 2 maxed out and Rust.

What's the average temp in your house or that room tho?

He said 84F which is hot as hell.

Does the Velka 7 only come in 1 color?

Every case including the Velka 7 is only available in black

 

[LOG1K]

When will the Velka 3 come in stock again?

you should consider making a bigger version of the Velka case - 10 L to 13 L that supports a larger CPU cooler or 3 slot GPU.

Aren’t there plenty of cases like that out there already? No shortage of larger cases, I think the entire philosophy behind Velka is space efficiency with standard parts.

There's lots of cases in the 8L - 10 L zone, which would be Ghost, Dan, Thor, Sidearm

But there's not many good cases in the 10-13 L zone which would be Ncase M1, and the upcoming Dan C4.

A high quality version of Ncase alternative that is unibody anodized aluminum would blow up the SFF market.

And only two mainstream cases under 13L support 3 slot GPUs..Sliger SM 560 and Ncase.

T1 FormD supports 3 slot GPUs and is 9.5L

I really want to know this too....my cables are barely fitting and I can’t even put the little bracket in in front of the psu

Anyone know of a non FE 3080 that fits the Velkase 7 without mods?

 

[archagon]

"Thickness of the 3090/3080 XC3 models with backplate (XC3 Ultra/XC3) is 1.78in. - 45.1mm.
Thickness of the 3090/3080 XC3 models without backplate (XC3 Black) is 1.61in. - 40.9mm."

So it sounds like the EVGA XC3 Black might fit the bill, but I can't find much info about it.

 

[archagon]

Found it: https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-3080-10g-p5-3881-kr/p/N82E16814487522

With regard to the Velka 7 maxing out at 43mm, I suppose the question is "in which direction"? Looks like here it's mostly the cooler protruding. @VELKASE Michael, assuming the 40.9mm measurement is correct, would this card fit?

Since it is advertised as 2.2 slot, it is probably closer to 44-45 mm thick. It only has a chance of fitting extremely snugly with the side panel offset, so it is definitely not a guaranteed fit.

 

[archagon]

If it is indeed 40.9mm, though, will it fit? I think the figures above were quoted from an EVGA rep on their official forums, so I expect them to be trustworthy. (Also, what does "side panel offset" mean?)

And those figures seem to line up if you compare it to the backplate edition:

the cases have an experimental feature where they can offset the side panels by up to 4mm, so technically you can increase the size limit by 4mm

 

[kroken]

@MaxBurnout Maybe you could confirm if the EVGA 3080 XC3 black would fit the velka 7 since you already have a complete build with a 2080?

How in the hell do you install the ribbon cable? I have been trying for hours!?!?
