Club for those with beastly mATX/ITX rigs. - Page 431

I only need 400w, but I want to upgrade to a quieter 500w so I can OC my card and my CPU once I get on the Haswell bandwagon.

I'm looking at the AX-650 though because I don't like multicoloured cables, and I don't really want to sleeve because I hate it.

I'm reluctant to get a fanless unit because my system will basically have no cold air passing through it, only radiator exhaust.


Edit: Are there any quietish Silverstone units? I want to use the shortened PP05 cable set.

Being an enthusiast I simply hate itx or matx boards because I can't justify the quality difference for a little bit smaller board. Add in the fact that your putting a smaller mainboard in a regular sized case and you throw all the benefit of the smaller board out the window. When you buy a matx board you should put it in a small case, otherwise just get a regular size board and save some cash + getting a better overclock.

Absolutely agree. As much as I like the P180 Mini, Fractal Design Mini's, and TJ08B-E; they can't really be classified as small cases, because they're not at all.

lol you obviously didnt see the case i came from before i bought the tj08

its only slightly deeper in order to fit the PSU and 5.25 bays back to back, and slightly wider so you have an extra half inch for cables (if you have any room at all for them behind the motherboard in the cases that you deem "small form factor")

you can keep your shoe box case, and your two cents... because i love my tj08.

Thanks! A shoe box is actually quite small. I'm glad you get the point!

Shoe boxes are generally much wider than a tower. I just think of it in terms of literage. <20L with 10L per extra CPU socket is SFF in my book. biggrin.gif

No... I didn't see the case you came from... Funny that.

The differences between a TJ08B-E and a mid-tower are absolutely minimal.

http://ksstudios.com/silverstone-st50f-p-strider-plus-series-500w-modular-power-supply

Its just a wee little guy. I squeezed it in with a small amount of cutting biggrin.gif
Ill be making a build log for my A05 build and ill post pics of my Sugo too.

Also, that's not a recent picture. I had to RMA my h80 too because i was getting the infamous grinding...

I believe that's the one that's included with the Sugo. Most mini-ITX chassis come with a manufacturer-included PSU specifically designed to fit the case enclosure.
