This seems intuitive. Looks like the perfect layout for a bottom to top airflow. Intake at the bottom, turn the CPU cooler to blow up, and exhaust out the top. Heat rises and whatnot. Rear fan probably not needed. PSU might be better flipped cycling it's own air supply independently. Only question is whether the GPU cutting across that plane is too much of an airflow impedance to pull that off.

The gpu cuts off allot of airflow. Thats why i have it this way. cpu sits around 68c at full load under games at 4.6ghz so im not complaining at all

Still wouldn't hurt to have your PSU flipped so it is circulating it's own air. right now it is pulling from inside the case and could be competing with airflow with the cpu cooler as you have both of the bottom fans also set to exhaust as well. wouldn't hurt to try some experimenting. I would try to flip the psu first to see how that effects it. and aside from the ugly fans (entirely opinion) that looks like a decent little build. Slightly better specced than mine anyway. for sure better in the gpu department. I am running a 4770k gtx 970 combo currently.

Impending crappy pic of the last iteration of my gaming build!
I know it's MATX, And I've come from a fractal node 304 a long time ago, but... now it's quiet.


Is it cramped enough for you all???? It sure was almost as difficult to build as in the Node, when I put a psu with stiff cables and an NH-D15S...

The rig:
Fractal Design Define C mini
Core i7 4770 (non-K, second hand buy), overcooled with a Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT
Gigabyte Z97M
Asus ROG 1080TI STRIX, with a Raijintek Morpheus 2 Core edition on it
Corsair RM750x
Two Samsung 850evo in the back
4x bequiet silentwings 3 120mm pwm

I could remove the exhaust fan, but I don't hear any turbulence and I'm too tired to do so now ?

I think I have enough beast in this one to make up for the size deficit, the fitment ethos certainly remained although for understandable reasons a significant volume was devoted to cooling.

ASUS X99-M WS
Intel i7-5960X Haswell-E
XFX Radeon Pro Duo x2
Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200C15 4x4GB
Corsair Force Series MP500 480GB
Western Digital Black 1TB x2
EVGA Supernova 1600T2

Amazing build. I've followed your build thread and absolutely gorgeous in completion!

 

[IAmDay]

I'll be posting my itx build soon! Finally upgrading from a macbook :-(

 

[Max78]

Does this count?

R7 1700 and a Red Devil RX580 crammed into a tiny SG13.

Modified the case to my liking to free up room for better cooling, my goal is to be able to hit a 3.8ghz overclock without thermal issues.

[NADRIGOL]

Cool layout. Need some thinner, shorter cables! How are the temps/noise before and after overclock?

 

[Max78]

I definitely want shorter and thinner cables, I have toyed with the idea of modifying my PSU, but I have been hesitant because i like my warranty.

I'm still in the process of designing a mount for my cooling fans so I have not overclocked anything just yet. I just got the cooling fans yesterday night, so hopefully I will get them installed this weekend.

With its current configuration with stock cooler being the only fan in there right now I see 65° C max with ambient of 26°, and its dead silent. . . . That's running my CAD programs, and a handful of games. I have not run a stress test of any kind just yet because I'm still building it.

 

[Miptzi]

my raidmax atomic, a methis ripoff....

 

[woomba]

Certainly not th smallest form factor but I hope it's still accepted here...
Finished putting together this one. Time to test the loop...

 

[Simmons572]

I've been debating whether or not to put this here, but I have recently acquired a Jeffinslaw Project mATX case.

I am currently only running my pfSense rig in it, but I do plan on doing a full-fat build in the future.

 

[Elyminator]

Just finished up a full loop in a node 304 with ryzen 7 and a 1080ti. a 240 rad and a single 120 with a d5 pump. still needs some custom cables. Still pretty beastly I think.

Share a build log link when that happens pls

Pretty beastly indeed , kudos :thumb:

 

[Elyminator]

Why thank you!

 

[Dortheleus]

Hey gang,

I want you opinions on this setup:

 

[Blze001]

Hey gang,

I want you opinions on this setup:

Only the PSU on the backside? Or is that where the SSDs will be?

 

[Dortheleus]

SSDs can very well go on the back side.

 

[TheArkratos]

To make your watercooling easier, I'd drop the pump down to the back side and add a reservoir where the pump is right now.

Also as someone that made this case:

SFX power supply cables might not be long enough for your 24 pin connector. My PSU was where you are planning, relative to the motherboard, and my 24 pin wasn't long enough. So you may want to have extensions or custom cables made.
