i'm interested in this case, but worried about dust. If you don't mind, after a week or so, can feedback on how must dust enters? and how difficult is it to achieve positive air pressure.

Thanks!

lol mate.. i can do that.. just that my usage of pc is extremely low and thus might not reflect actual case =D

Very nice. Is that the H60? Are you using the native DC-ATX power solution? How are your temperatures?

For me I went with the larger W80. Some not so pretty pics:

I got the H80 one. Yeah. I used the native DC power supply and everything is good.
Temperature never pass 80Deg during 30mins of stress Test. Max temp at 79 deg.

You should get a m.2 ssd for your cooler more space to breathe.

I see the air filter. Nice !

looking at the second picture and at the amd cpu fan, is it blowing upwards or downloads ? if it is the former then is not it going to fry your hard disc :D

Both noctua and amd fans are intake fans (downwards) towards the cpu. So, if it is blocked by glass or has very little clearance, cpu temps will be affected.

yes agree. regardless if it blowing upwards or downwards, the cpu temps will be affected. to put it nicely :D

on the other hand, check out the mini-stx builds that is only the size of your palm and yet they are able to take full-fledge desktop cpus :D

The case we are using are with full-fledge desktop cpus. Unless you need a gpu. There isn’t any gpu slots. :s8:

it is one thing for a small casing to be able to take in a full-fledged desktop cpu and another to be able to run any typical desktop cpu coolly like a full-fledged desktop setup. all in all the mini stx is very impressive as a very small setup :D

Max load temps from the Core i5 CPU are still OK at 70 C (15.9 C ambient), and the system was stable through multiple benchmark runs. (A more typical workload never saw temps near 70 C with any fan setting.)

Thanks, but filters increase temps by around 5'C. All holes are filtered - even the serial port holes at the back.

Using the LR1108 150W plug in type DC-ATX unit? May I know what is the adapter you pair this with?

Also have you overclocked or undervolted the CPU/GPU?

My case: max temps around 85'C but with CPU underclocked to 3.4GHz and GPU overclocked to 1525MHz.

It's nice, but limited to SODIMM (notebook) RAM. Also connectivity and ports are less generally. ITX boards are more feature rich. Some of these have MXM-GPU type slots but available variety of this type of GPUs is less.

Also no need to worry about power supply solution. Just pair with suitable laptop adapter and should be fine.

Depends on preference. It is worth it for some people.
