here is the casing with akasa neo vortex


the akasa didn't attach to any GPU (just to test how it looks like in sugo01). for some reason, i don't really like the looks of this setup.


(anyone who interested on Akasa neo vortex may pm me )

cpu3d.com has published some picture of a GA-P55M-UD4
main feature : MicroATX size with P55 chipset
support SLi and CF setup, 6 SATA and DDR3 dual channel

PCI-express x16 @2
PCI-express x4 @1
PCI

support DES technology and 2oz copper PCB

this looks great but why must include some orange color ... can't make it consistent meh

nice board , i wonder how much is the price

gigabyte no taste , hahahah , MSI , ASUS , evga all comes with sexy color , haha .. especially MSI , their new mobo all got powerful look , haha

agreed.. most gigabyte board doesnt looks attractive (looks pale).. but in MATX casing u can hardly see the board .

Added on July 14, 2009, 10:43 pmiv'e never use CPU cooler with fan ever since i'm on SFF (never use stock cooler neither ). Please correct me if i'm wrong. if using cooler with fan, the air will flow to the CPU while the fan frm PSU will suck the air out of it. (since the PSU is on the top of CPU)

doesn't the air flow will be in conflict?? <<please answer this>> thanks.





Things might get worse if theres is no gap between HSF & PSU. IMO..

well if yer PSU got intake fan, u can put a thin fan on your CPU heatsink to pull air up into the PSU~

errr...u can just switch the fan around?

found something interesting...
aerocool m40 sff/matx casing (too bad m'sia tak da)

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/dis...f-system_3.html

someone already posted that case here...

fugly imho. dont really like the design....

though the idea is quite interesting. but still suffers from typical SFF problem... lack of choices when it comes to aftermarket hsf.

agreed with u, typical SSF problem (really hard to get aftermarket HSF). one thing that i like abt the casing is u can open it to get fresh air while gamming .

Get AXP140 + a 12cm fan ... haha
ngam ngam for SG01 ~~~

Need a quick help from X-Cube/Q-pack /Q-box owner. What after market cooler can be use on an unmodded X-Cube ?

There seems to be a bar blocking high tower cooler to be use.

Appreciate reply. Thanks.

cut the bar then ...

gigabyte designer sux la.. ahaha

I wouldn't have ask the question if I wanted to cut the bar.

Anyway, I fould a few cooler tht MIGHT fit: -

1. Coolermaster GeminII S
2. TT Ruby ORB
3. Zalman 7x00 series
4. Coolermaster Vortex 752

Now, the word MIGHT is no good. I nid some confirmation from some owner here.

Thanks.

the ORBs are ur best bet....

the other coolers may fit if a fan isnt mounted....but once a fan is there ur gonna have problems...

search this thread for "orb" and ull find some pix of it barely fitting in.

sff very nice la

agreed.... ..

Added on July 16, 2009, 10:54 pmonly the owner of the casing can tell..
why not just measure the height of ur mobo to tt annoying bar & then compare with the height of cooler (u can get the cooler dimension frm the manual).
Frm there u will know wht cooler will fit or not. otherwise u have to wait for the other user of the same casing to reply u .
