One feedback to that build. He mentioned that he could not fit his DP cable in without taking off the base plate. Oddly, I was able to put in my DP cable without problem. I admit the insert was not very easy but with a little push and the DP cable was squeezed in.
yeah I'm quite surprised about the DP cable given how much clearance there is - then the angle to which the cable is inserted is the issue? I'm thinking to just plug the DP cable in before installing the GPU to the case hahaOne feedback to that build. He mentioned that he could not fit his DP cable in without taking off the base plate.

Anyway, that build is quite pretty. And if it were me, I would go all the way with a 360 rad, which I think, will be what you are going to use. Correct? I look forward to your beastly build.
BTW, what colour will yours be?
A pair? I hope it is not for a single build with this open frame. It is hard to imagine how you fit two 360 rad. Stacking them does not make sense as it should be just better to use one thick fat rad instead of two slim thin rads. Maybe, one 360 for this open frame build and the other one for another build?yes I'll be going with 360 radiator, have a pair of HWL GTS 360 incoming. and I chose the same colour as yours, grey. It's my default go-to colour whenever it is available
I thought I would build in the ZZAW C3 with 2x 360 but then this case took over. Then there were only 2 left in stock at PPCS so I just bought both, why the heck not - always good to have a backup.A pair? I hope it is not for a single build with this open frame.
those thick HWL rads (GTR/GTX) are just OOS indefinitely so I couldn't wait hahaStacking them does not make sense as it should be just better to use one thick fat rad instead of two slim thin rads.

@ZS-Cases , suggestion for V1.1 or V2. Somehow make the frame with switch-able 'side panels'. I mean, the 2 'side panels' can switch side so that, if you look from the front, the GPU is installed on the left side while the CPU+PSU on the right. Not sure how difficulty would this be.
Today I received the ZS OC v1 (bought 2 weeks ago) and documented my unboxing & assembly experience. Really happy with the purchase!
A manual is exactly what I have suggested to them.I did a thing today
EDIT: forgot to add that a manual is sorely needed and would be greatly appreciated by end-users. Took me a lot of back-and-forth to figure out how to screw in what first during assembly
yep, you're right. I need to flip both so will do that when I do the transplant. Can't be bothered now hahaBTW, I think the 2 rods to support the display card are installed wrong, at least the one with the 3 screws. You can compare pics in my build log.
No effing idea. The biggest hex screw just works on all of the screwsDuring setting up, have you figured out what is that small screw driver for?
I ordered direct, the case still comes directly from China. I think the ZS team has member(s) in Australia (?)Edit:- did you order through Taobao or thru their website (in Australia, I think)?
Are you the one who entices your friend to build with an ZS OC V1?@tinyitx enjoy!
Open case build, but I think if you just covered it with some mesh panels, most % of the space would be utilized. Looks cool as well.So @thelaughingman pointed me here to upload a few pics of my ZS OC V1 build. So here it is
Covering a mini DTX board with a hanging SO-DIMM2 module is a bad idea, also I like it staying out in open air where I don't have to worry about airflow and such. Dusting is easy since I can blast my can duster once every weekOpen case build, but I think if you just covered it with some mesh panels, most % of the space would be utilized. Looks cool as well.
This is what I do. My rig is more clean and dust free than when I used a case. A case is better in hiding the dust. It is more like sweeping the dirt under the rug.Dusting is easy since I can blast my can duster once every week
Sounds good! What I meant is that even in open air, the cubic mm's I think are pretty well utilized.Covering a mini DTX board with a hanging SO-DIMM2 module is a bad idea, also I like it staying out in open air where I don't have to worry about airflow and such.
