The S1 is compatible according to Arctic, just throw a 120mm fan on there.

It might be worth changing the tim first to see if that can drop the temps down, check their case flow and see if there´s any dust as well.

 

you can look at the Accelero L2 PLUS

To minimize the combined height, would an Scythe Slip Stream SLIM 800RPM do the trick on the S1?
It has weak cfm. But then again, its a 75w videocard.

The Accelero L2 PLUS will become too bulky, it's a 3 slot solution.

 

The Accelero S1 will take up 3 slots also when you add a fan. Plus you need width and length as the size is much larger.

 

aw damn. I guess there is nothing to do then.
As their videocard and psu is placed like this here:


If only I knew if the Thermalright t-rad 2 gtx would fit.

 

What case is being used?

 

its an old medion pc. The internal is 99% like this medion pc-case here:

 

Maybe replace the old case, even a cheap one would likely be better.
Fractal Design Core 1000 Matx, that way you can still use the Arctic cooling

Nice. Is that one of the best pc-case for that price in that size?

 

IMO the case has some really simple look clean look.
For the price it is very good and offers plenty of room for a Matx case. As long the mobo in parents system is matx.

 

yeah, its a m-atx motherboard alright, they have.

 

Think I'll give them the Fractal Design Core 1000 for x-mas.

However how do I know if their Asus HD7750-1GD5 uses reference mounting holes, so I can fit the S1 Plus on it? There is nothong on the net, showing PCB.
As the whole purpose with the smarter and better pc-case, is so the S1 Plus can get installed on the GPU.

 

S1 is not small, and might not fit, the width is 135mm.

Accelero L2 PLUS is close to the stock in terms of temps, but is quieter than stock.

There is the ARCTIC Accelero TT II which is 122mm.

Dimensions of the Core 1000 is 175x355x420mm (WxHxD)
So its 175mm width? Then the S1 Plus should fit alright.

175m is total width of case, not where the mounting is for the gpu heatsink.

 

hmm..hope I can find something. Currently looking at techpowerup and anandtech and see if I can find something, as both have it reviewed.

doesnt look its possible. So the pc-case have to be replaced by something else?

Unless I go with the Accelero L2 PLUS. But then again, I have no idea how it performs against the cooler on the HD7750-1GD5. Which already were said to be very good for that card.

EDIT: I think it does fit the S1 Plus
http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/102600-case-showdown-fractal-design-core-1000-vs-coolermaster-n200/

The clearence is 148mm. Am I right?

 

148mm is CPU heatsink height. Aftermarket GPU heatsinks are more gamble compared to cpu heatsinks. As there is so many different cards it is harder to know what will fit or not.

 

I have sent Fractal an message, regarding if the S1 Plus at 135mm width, is too much for the sidepanel to be closed.

 

I got reply from Cooler-Master, regarding the N200 pc-case. Which I also find very nice. And it also got a little bit of cable management. And PSU at bottom. It has 150mm width clearance for GPU cooler. So thats more than enough for the S1 Plus.

But still waiitng for fractal to reply also, on the Core 1000.

 

Alright. So the final product were the brand new x5 series Fractal Design Core 1500. Which he just got in his hands right now.

I must say, I'm not myself that impressed by the quaility. There were an lose screw inside the pc-case. The bottom dustfilter holdments, two of them had to be bent down. otherwise the dustfilter could not fully snap into place.
One of the sidepanels at the back where you tighten the screws, were slighty bent outwards (at the rear back). So it did not fully up against the pc-case itself.

For 55 euro, I'm not sure if he could have expected more. But if you ask me, this is sloppy quaility control issues

EDIT: Also he got an Asus GTX650-DC-1GD5 now. After the HD 7750 had massive coil whine under games. So he got full refund back. And now happy with this card instead.
