Club for those with beastly mATX/ITX rigs. - Page 414

post #4131 of 7522
Finished up my little rig (until Monday when its going under the knife again) - Sorry that I don't have any terribly awesome pictures, I may take some when I actually finish everything up biggrin.gif Decided I didn't want to deal with everything being in my huge Silverstone Fortress FT02 case and wanted to go mITX with the new build. I already had a case from my NAS build, so I decided that needed a bit more space [so that I could OF COURSE put more HDD's into it later on].

Here is what we have going on!

Case: Lian Li PC-Q25B
CPU: Core i5 3570k @ 4.2 [Quick and dirty, didn't want to go higher with the stock cooler]
Motherboard: ASRock Z77E-ITX
GPU: [Currently Asus 6870 DC] Asus GTX 480 - as of Monday!
Memory: Samsung 8GB DDR3 1600MHz @ 1866 11-11-11-24 [haven't played around with it much yet]
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
HDD(s): Two incoming fresh from RMA Seagate 500GB
PSU: ENERMAX|NAXN 82+ 750W [glad its Modular, was difficult enough to stuff into the case as is]

I'm still trying to decide on the CPU cooler to get, if anyone has advice, I'd love to hear it - I'm just concerned about something hitting the GPU as the CPU is fairly close to the PCIE slot.

As I know there is nothing to actually see, here is the inside Celebrity shots thumb.gif

And the mess with the PSU pulled out [better managed than it actually looks when the PSU is pushed back into place]

Did you have to up the volts at all to get that OC? Interested because I have same mobo and proc. Also, what are temps like at 4.2 with the stock cooler? thanks thumb.gif

I did a voltage offset of .063 I believe - temps are basically the exact same a stock, maybe raised by 1 - 2c at most. I haven't run it really hard yet, but its generally in the low 70's from what I remember. Quite excited as this is my first mITX high end build (I've done SFF mATX before)

Just did some wire management on my rig and it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Well, up until I added the storage drives, I need to come up with a way to custom mount them but I haven't had a chance to do so. I have a couple scrap pieces of aluminum that is 1/8" thick so it should be more then enough to hold up 2 drives tongue.gif. Other thing I need to do is get a GTX 670 ordered but I never seem to have money free when a retailer has the 670 I want in stock rolleyes.gif.

Either way here are my pictures for now:

Here's my Sugo SG05 with what I think is the least amount of room left in any of this type of case in the world! tongue.gif
It has had quite a few modifications to it over the past few months. Will end up painting clean once I finish cramming stuff into it.

The HDDcaddy which mounts hanging from the PSU support. Note the extra room for 2 more 2.5" HDD's. Looks a bit dodge there but its cleaned up and shiny now thumb.gif

HDD Caddy in place

GPU, Mobo, Eco and GT in
450

Add PSU + HDD caddy + 80mm fan (Exhausting)
450

Top view showing snug fit of HDD

2mm between caddy + eco pump (precision engineering right there wink.gif)
700

Cables ... GAH:p
337

Add top SSD + HDD bay + more cables
450

Done pretty much before final tidy up and putting lid on.
450

Its a bit dark and looks like ram is being pushed by eco hoses but its not with enough force to warrant any concern.


Its tight, heavy, quiet and runs very cool thanks to the PWM modded GT fan. I have had a 2nd fan on the front but haven't bothered with it this time.
Worst thing though is its almost impossible to re-assemble with 1 person and it takes an hour or two to get back together! Its just sooo fidgety lol.

I love it and cant imagine ever really needing a case any bigger. Best lan box too XD

That's surprisingly good considering how cramped it is in there. Although, I suppose the fan has less volume of air to move.
