@Volt,

Your bear brick has stolen the limelight.

tjay_tj what cooler u use??
and how about cpu temp, can i know

i believe thats cooler master geminII S

yup it is cooler master geminii s.
my amd 6000 ideal at 30C load 44C.

This is mine... CS238

can GeminII S fit in sg01...with fan?
now using NT05 ...temp ok, but too noisy

germinii s with fan only 87mm. i think can be fitted in.

or if cannot, go buy 2 x 80mm slim fan and fit on to the geminii s

i must say, that's one massive piece of metal there..
btw, do you plan to overclock the processor?

do you plan to get a internal soundcard in there (or the built-in sound chip on that dfi is suffice).

madman answer for me already, i still got one collecting dust hahahaha

mm.... i'm not so crzy about sound (tat's why i'm still able to use tat USB piggy speaker infront of my desk till now haha), the only PCI slot i will use for the TV card u can see there

Well i did try diff orientation for the AMXP140, the other postion i mount will cause sugo unable to close the case haha.... coz the hsf already exceed the casing area, for mobo, no problem...can mount any position

Bro... my fan controller

weii where the pix..want to see how was the heatsink after psu installed

eh...the height is the same with normal psu...no problem of coz
already install the modular psu in my SFF....

now need a more powerful gc to show off =___="

kakaka....let's discuss via pm ho ho.... kuja.... other ppl also want eh.... how about u =___="

Is anyone using the Silverstone NT-06 Lite heatsink in their SG-01? I'm wondering if are comfortable with temps.

I have the NT-06 Lite mounted in my SG-01 with a Silverstone PSU ontop, and it's so flush that I can't put a fan on the NT-06 Lite. Right now am using it on a E8200 (stock, no OCing), and speedfan reports idle temps around 48C (BIOS says around 37-38C, which should I believe?).

I have 3x 80mm CM silent fans on the 3 fan positions for the SG-01, with a PCI slot blower fan sucking hot air from the onboard GPU and out the back, since I was worried about overheating (speedfan reports GPU temps around 78-80C, but I dont know if accurate).

Later I will post pics of the setup so you can see what I mean, now in the office

This is my idle temps in sugo as a reference....consider normal i guess

urs oc gao gao mah....ppl stock clock leh
but i think its ok lar since didnt apply fan on NT-06 lite
my e5200 runs around 50c~55c on killah whale without fan xD

stock setting???
btw... i say normal is becoz this result in a SG01, if outside this case, i think i can get better temps +__+"

eheheh....long time ago...open bench....3.0G stock volt just relying on mah ceiling fan's air flow.
idle 50c~55c ,load 70c++,no a/c coz i hate a/c : P
juz my humble opinion lar...maybe the PSU tarik-ing air did help the NT-06 lite's temp abit since nt-06s fin and killer whales fin also tightly packed.

Hah, wanted to post pic but my PC crashed and died. Lucky I saved all my data on HDs and partitions other than the OS partition. Looks like a reformat/install is in order for my main rig. In any case, perhaps my temps aren't so way off then based on your comments. I am running a fanless cooling on the CPU (although the PSU fan is sucking air from the heatsink, the fan is not that powerful).

I just worry if the GPU or CPU can take it when I start loading them. Anyone else experience burning hot onboard GPUs? My mobo is the Asus P5N7A-VM (I think... I always mix up Asus mobo numbers; its the one with nvidia chipset). While installing OS via the optical drive (my completed casing has no optical drives), I had the case open, and used a 80mm fan blowing at the CPU/GPU to keep things cool. Now after closing the casing, I added the slot blower fan to suck air from GPU out the back, and I can feel the air is warm. Problem is the fan is a little noisier than I like. I have another quieter slot blower fan but it moves a lot less air. I am just worried about the GPU overheating.

Traveler, fast fast post ur SFF rig here..i wanna reference
how u make the blower hehe

my sff

use watercooling Swiftech H2O-120 Compact

proc QX6800

idle 38,38,35,35
load 62.62.58.58

what an awesome setup ... powerful CPU with great WC ..

what about the temperature of the gc ???

Doom, temp gc
idle 56 load 75 (fan 46%)
too loud, i want replace the cooler to Accelero XTREME for 4870x2
but cannot find, is anybody sale this cooler

yo bro, more more.... i wanna see ur case with cover

btw...bro, did u oc ur proc? or the idle and load for 3ghz quadies?

cool rig there bro..
rig of gamers.. btw, u also active in here already arr?

WC + SFF = ART
total kick @$$!!!


but hor....better not use AC Xtreme....guarantee u cant close ur case 4 its a 3-slot cooler



This post has been edited by jvjh666: Apr 8 2009, 03:08 AM

meaning tat i can't use the Zotac Gtx 275 AMP with AC Xtreme in my case ???

sorry but no de angel......unless ur card install in da 2nd slot or above...
all AC xtreem 3 slot 1(thickness of cooler+card around 2 1/2 slot 2 be exact)....
i myself own a AC xtreem 9800 also. those coolers are huge!!!

@luriahk
maybe if u re-route ur hoses to the rad via other place and move ur 4870x2 to the 1st PCI-E then its possible

After reading this thread since V2, I think I want to build a SFF rig but with <RM1k budget, will only convert my current rig.

My planning:

Processor : E8400 (current)
HSF : Arctic Cooler Alpine 7 (current, probably change)
Mobo : ? (no idea) RM500
RAM : 2 X 2Gb DDR800 (current)
Harddsik : 500Gb (current)
GC : HD2600XT (Plan to change)
PSU : CM Extreme Power 500W (current)
Casing : XqBox (or any sff casing below RM300)

So only need to buy casing and mobo and probably change GC.

This rig most probably for
-24/7 use (bittorrent)
-some video encoding (mp4, divx etc)
-desktop publishing (photoshop and illustrator) and
-some 3d rendering, some games but no OC.

My main concern is power consumption and also the heat. My HD2600XT with its stock fan generate too much heat. For idle, the temp already 60 and can reach 8+ when fully loaded. Last time I try to play DMC but my pc restart because of over heating. But after I changed to 3rd party cooler, the temp become normal with 50 idle and 6+ when loaded. So, which current GC will most suitable for sff? Is there any gc that don't need any fan so the rig will quieter?

E8400+GA EP45-DS3 for me is the best combo. With its Energy Saver technology, Gigabyte really reduce my bill if compare with my previous mobo. So, any gigabyte mobo recommended for me?

i dont overclock my proc..

here some picture of my rig covered.




thanks old mate~
actived here long time ago but not much replying in threads......... just reading, buying and selling items

thanks for the information..
i think i'll need to make a custom hole at backside of my casing for the tube of the WC.

Added on April 9, 2009, 9:15 pmdun u need microATX for sff??

look for dfi lanparty, sure fix ur bajet

This post has been edited by kiLLua the babap: Apr 9 2009, 09:15 PM

since ur a gigabyte fan....Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L

more than enough for ur usage and only costs RM180.

for the GC....just make sure u have enough airflow for it....

casing....up to u....the SG03 and the V350 would be a good place to start....

n i can confirm that the alpine will NOT fit into an unmodded microfly/xqbox



usually....SFF = m-ATX

and for his usage...the DFI is overkill....just coz he has that much money doesnt mean he should spend all of it.

This post has been edited by mADmAN: Apr 9 2009, 09:28 PM

get xfx 4830 ler....rm 400 i last bought 4 my fren inside xqbox....powerful and energy efficient(compare 2 mid lv card),heat up less yet act as exhaust as well...

+1 for eg31m-s2l

This post has been edited by jvjh666: Apr 9 2009, 11:25 PM

Get the red hot LL V351 - Red, sexy red case

For those who looking for the SFF case, u can pay a visit to SilverStone booth @ hall 4, KLCC to touch and feel the SST SG01, SG02, SG03, SG4 and SG5 case

Must support, SSF Fans can take a look at the real thing in the booth

I stated RM500 bcoz G45 also in my planning. At first I want to throw away the GC and use the built in HD4600. But, after some thought, better get discreet GC or reuse my old HD2600XT. But problem with HD2600XT, it produce so much heat with it original fan.

Yup..aiming for G31M-S2L. Downgrade from P45 to G31 . DFI is out off the scene, to expensive for me.

Planning to change current GC due to the heat. Planning to get ATI 4670 DDR4. This GC ok or not?

My Alpine is not the pro series, it look like the normal HSF but the heat sink is higher than normal 8400 hsf. This one also not fit? Need to confirm to calculate my budget if need to buy other HSF.

Can you qoute the price here? Thank you.

if just for htpc usage, maybe try ATI4350 cheap

Dunno, if I went to ATI4350 from 2600XT, I feel like I'm going down instead of going up. Although I'm not a gamer, but once for a while, I will play some latest game. So, I don't want to fork up money again after a few months to test some lastest games.

from http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3420 , they said that 4350 is great for HTPC but not design for game.

Anyway, thank you for suggesting. It also come in my mind before but I fell like anything below 4650 is more to downgrade than an upgrade. May be I just stick to 2600xt and buy a better casing.

i used to have the Alpine64 for my previous SFF s754 rig...and no it didnt fit...the support beam of the my microfly (aka xqbox) wouldnt allow it.

the only HSF with good clearance so far with the microfly is the thermaltake orb series (some only i think). and some of the zalman flower hsf. even with those hsf its a tight fit. but still able to slide the mobo tray in and out without removing the hsf...

right now i have my stock Q6600 hsf cooling my E5200...since u dont OC... why not just use the stock hsf? artic cooling themselves admit that the alpine series isnt as good as stock hsf...its main purpose was for silence. id recommend using the stock hsf first...and if gets too loud...then think about other coolers

as for GC... ur budget for mobo is 500...now u aiming for RM180 mobo..so u save RM320. sell ur 2600XT and add the 320 into the GC budget. perhaps aim for HD4850?

agree....since not overclocking no need spend too much on mobo. get a stable and trusted 1 is enough.
if GC budget got around rm400 any 9800gt or hd4830 will do...or 4670 if u wan more power saving...good GC.

The bad news is, my stock HSF pin is broken. I like the Alpine bcoz it silent feature.

So now need to find stock HSF or replace the pin. Anyone sell the pin only?

Or is there any SFF casing that can fit Alpine?

I don't think 4850 is good suitable for me. Not a gamer, so it will be a useless. The most may be 4670. The extra money may be for 1TG hard disk .

Thank you mADmAN for pointing out that Alpine+xqbox=not good.

Now aiming for G35M-S2L only. Here it cost RM200.

If possible, I don't want GC which need additional power. That's why I opt to 4670 instead of 4830. But if you guy think 4830 better, may be I will get that. But need to check my psu first.

So now,

Mobo G35M-S2L - RM200
Casing xqbox - RM250
GC 4670 - RM310 or 4830 RM430

Total RM760 or RM880. (Price base on Kuantan Price, may be will turun kl for pc fair)

Selling my gc- RM1++, mobo RM2++, casing RM1++. Cover half the price.

This post has been edited by qwerty79: Apr 10 2009, 01:22 PM

if u come to KL for PC Fair... id strongly recommend going over to LYP and stop by sri computers...they sell some cheapo 775 HSFs... looks exactly like stock ones... cant remember the price.. but then u can take the pins from there.

but honestly...i say might as well get the orb cooler straight or the zalman flower cooler....more worth it...

zalman i think sri comp might still have...

the orb....can buy the ruby orb from ngbh HERE


and check out this post i found regarding the ruby orb+xqbox on an AMD setup. he says the cooler is really quiet too...

SOURCE
for an intel setup... try and PM this forumer: Mayor

hes using one of the orbs in the xqbox on an intel setup...but i cant remember where he bought the cooler and which version...

SOURCE

Thank you mADmAN. You are the man

The gap is so close . May be will only use stock hsf.

Anyone want my alpine?

u should try AXP-140 hahaha

EG31-S2L is the newer version integrated with more energy effecient technology model...
i thought gigabyte doesnt hav any mobo(m-atx) with g35 chipset?
correct me if im wrong fellow SFF-ians.

That picture not within casing. I want to see the HSF in action. But the HSF is expensive, so nvm.

Just dug out my store to search my old HSF. Luckily, one of my HSF have good pin, can be reuse with my e8400 stock HSF.

Added on April 12, 2009, 12:14 amI just realize that both G31M-S2L abd P5KPL-AM doesn't have 1394 support. This funtion also important to me becoz I sometime need to convert video from video camera. So need to find other solution. May be need to forget about discreet GC and use built in graphic video. No more games...

MSI X58 MATX


Attached thumbnail(s)

you bought it ka xk2????
come show us ur latest rig ma =__=

wow...
its just looks too... simple.
not like dfi and its uv memslot.
or asus with rog and fancy coloured heatspreader.

PCI Firewire cards are available mah...can still use those..

=.= , jus quote from internet la, btw, this board maybe will be priced cheaper than DFI and ASUS one . Thos board will be carry a board no. ''MS-7593'', from the pic we can see it dun have heatpipe on the chipset and PWM area as what available in DFI and ASUS's , the board is equip with 6 DDR3 slot, 2 PCIE 16X slot, support CF and SLI , 7 SATA connector , 1 eSATA etc... .

The correct price and release date still unknown. This board might serve the entry level Matx market.

Don't want to waste pci slot. BTW, I start open thread to sell all my items.

Hope the price will drop soon.

my setup during LAN PARTY last weekend


notice the bigger casing??

The correct price and release date still unknown. This board might serve the entry level Matx market


i thought the x58 is for the i7 ?
i dun think its price for entry level
