Nice casing there. The maximum cpu cooler height is 4cm?

yup for the metalfish S3, so amd stock coolers wont be able to fit. need to get aftermarket ones.

Mind sharing your cpu temp while idle and on load?
*
idles at 39 and 47c spikes with an ambient 25 to 27c, synthetic loads at 80c at 80% fan. idles is not satisfactory due to 3rd gen bios problems i suppose. it keeps boosting up.

Thanks to you, i got the same casing as you now ^^
One problem i found here is that the PSU fan is extremely loud for me as i wanted a silent build, did you consider to change the PSU fan?
By the way the casing fan is hard mounted right?
*
hmm i bought the delta one which is not from them and mine’s pretty quiet. but i had thought of getting the fan swapped to a noctua... but the temps are ok so i did not bother in the end haha.
the casing fan on top can be swapped to anything that is a slim 80mmx15mm. ive changed mine to a high airflow fan. in fact.. cuz i put in a pretty hot gtx1070, i have DIY a custom bracket to fit 2 fans on top sweat.gif

I dont find any mounting for the fan, is there any screw anywhere?

on the gpu side. there should be a U shaped bracket. unless they’ve changed their design. you should be able to see the screws

honestly its really hard to find these parts like the sff case here... like the flex atx psu too... zzz
*
I never knew shoppee has stock for that because i gave up on sourcing locally long ago and only look at amazon and i highly recommend Taobao lolol.

For the flex PSU, taobao has alot actually. Those Delta 400-500w 80plus gold/platinum are pretty good buys.. using one myself. There are some shops who rewired them to make it into modular too.

Now im hunting for a RTX2070/RTX2060 super ITX size which seems out of stock everywhere even on amazon :/

how do you buy from amazon btw? (its Amazon US kan?)
Noticed that they do ship to Malaysia but... how about custom tax? haha...
*
Ah.. im actually in SG which is covered by amazon's shipping. But i guess you can get a close friend in SG to do this favor. For tax, i think it works the same. upon delivering the goods like DHL you will be invoiced and have to pay before collecting.

took the A variant because B variant the SSD will be mounted on the outside of the casing. pointless to get 3 slots as most 3 slot cards are too wide to fit in this case also.


QUOTE(tunasandwich @ Jun 11 2020, 04:18 PM)
can also please share the details of this build bro? What's the overall damage....?  Thanks....
*
used alot of second hand parts in this build. so it cost roughly 5K

ryzen 3600
msi b450i
RTX2080
adata xpg 3200mhz DDR4 16GB
sfx600 gold
kingston sata m.2 240GB
crucial Bx500 1TB

masterliquid 120 lite (surprisingly performing very well) *replaced the stock CM with nidec gentle typhoons 2150RPM.

prime95 smallest FFT @75C without throttling on all core 4ghz. aida will see 65C
RTX2080 undervolted to 810mV = 1830mhz with temp capped at 70C



However... I wouldnt recommend this case. despite the layout and design is good, the workmanship is terrible

ooo the h1 looks really good. ill check it out
i cant spec out right now, just thinking at the moment, cause ill be moving out of country to work around september, so just wanted to just check around for now
*
you have to always spec out first for SFF builds because you have to make sure everything fits cuz of the size constraint and wont choke themselves out in heat. unlike normal builds, you decide on the casing first. And component dimensions and space clearance became the next most important thing which will be different between each models.. so you need to check for availability too. All of these combined made SFF builds not cheap.

Here’s a junkyard style mod for fitting a asus 1080strix cooler onto a zotac 2080 fe style into a itx casing with almost zero space left :lol:

How did you secure the back plate to the fan shroud?
*
the heatsink in only held by the mounting holes around the gpu.

the backplate is directly bolted on to the pcb with nuts and bolts, insulated with plastic washers

Any recommended SFF Aircooler for Ryzen 5 3600?

Had to undervolt and lock the clock at 3.6Ghz @1.10625V and was able to keep it under 80c

My temps on stock is Cinebench it shoots up to 91C
Gaming sometimes will reach 88C after 2-3 hours non stop gaming.

Using a 110W TDP 4 Heatpipe Jonbso Cooler.
Don't think the L9i will outperform this with its 2 heatpipe design only.
Looking at thermalright AX90 and AX100 but sort of worried of the clearance. :/
*
what case are you using? never tried the jonsbo but my 3600 stock was kept under 90C on prime95 smallest fft (i believe it’s much hotter than cinebench) on the noctua L9am4 version (slightly more fins than the i) managed to maintain 3.8ghz throughout 30 mins in a metalfish S3 with arctic mx4.

it stayed 75C highest during gaming (i usually play sim racing and F1 which uses significant cpu)

The case I'm working with.

Ahhh, looks like more of an air choke to me. Try removing the side panels and see if the temps improve? if yes, then you might start go look for mesh panels to go cut it to size as DIY panels which i did before laugh.gif
