Why haven't you switched to a small form factor case yet Jow Forums?
Don't you care about aesthetics and efficient use of space?

>needs 5x more fans and heatsinks to keep at the same temperature as just having some fucking room to breath
that's not efficient use of money.
>small is aesthetic
no it's just gay, like jerking off to trap/futa porn.
William Diaz
Because low profile coolers suck: youtu.be
Samuel Foster
Theres 3 case fans. Whatever case you use if you don't have at least 3 fans its either gonna run hot or be loud as fuck.
That case can fit a 240mm rad for an AIO.
Nicholas Evans
I prefer ATX or E-ATX for desktops. For HTPCs, small form factor is king. How is the fractal design node 202?
John Rivera
Hey dum dum, read the performance sheet they posted with the case, the temps are fine.
Camden Ortiz
I can run my system without fans and it still doesn't overheat.
Maybe if you used a larger case you'd understand how wonderful this is.
David Thompson
So ive been out of the loop for about a year or so. All the sff psu's were garbage at the time. Is there a reliable, 700 ish watt model out now built by nips, preferably?
Xavier Gonzalez
I did the SFF meme a couple years ago. I put a 4690k and a R9 290 with a PH-TC14PE in a Phanteks EVOLV ITX. It was a bitch and a half to work in and the GPU fans spun up like a jet engine under any kind of load. I had transferred these parts from an NZXT H440 and in that case everything was easy to work around and it stayed quiet and cool.
When I built a new computer with a Ryzen CPU and a GTX 1080 I put it in a Phanteks P400S, no regrets whatsoever.
Samuel Torres
what case is this?

>>Don't you care about aesthetics and efficient use of space?
1.) I don't really have much of an attachment to small for aesthetic reasons.
2.) I don't much care about it for practical reasons either. I don't live in a capsule hotel in Tokyo.
A full ATX mobo and case is easier to work on, easier to cool, and the extra space it uses is essentially insignificant.
Aiden Torres
because I dont live in a cuck shed, I have a whole room in my 2500 square foot house for my computer room.
Levi Cooper
YMMV with sff but I'm pretty happy with my ncase.
Grayson Russell
>no case filters
Hunter Long
thats hot. sauce?

what is your attraction to SFF, Jow Forums? for me, it's not wasting space. my autism can't stand empty PCI slots and drive mounts. I don't care much for the ultimate SFF cases, I love ones that are just a pared down ATX tower.
Carson Murphy
Show me a full filter case and I'll consider converting to your cult.
Ryder Lopez
reduced floor/desk space
reduced visual clutter
Connor Morgan
The one right above you (NZXT H200), and this one (Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX). Both have filtered intakes.
Xavier Williams
>blocks you airflow
Adrian Walker
Small form factor = harder to assemble, inferior cooling/heat management
Connor Reed
is that got a fan under that hs? seems pretty inefficient cooler design for that scenario.
nh l9i would be better
Jaxson Jones
It's an NH-L12
It performs better than the L9
Isaiah Sullivan
cute
we need more res options, that the hard part for sff wc'in
Michael Johnson
t. B-BUT MOM I N-NEED A F-FULL T-TOWER!
Brody Bennett
Ahh, so it's got the fan on the inside, nvm, thought it was passively cooled by the case fans
Dominic Thomas
honestly if you use anything bigger than microATX than you're a child or retarded.
Jace Davis
>I can run my system without fans and it still doesn't overheat.
No one care about your pentium 2 shitbox faggot. If I turn the fans off my cpu tower cooler and fans on my 580 it will overheat within minutes in my FT02.
>Phanteks EVOLV ITX
That's not SFF, looks like the only meme you fell for war being a brainlet
Nicholas Evans
The integrated PSU is trash. Use an SFF card and buy additional fans (after measuring IMO). Noctua NF-A9 for the CPU fan. In an office setting this thing would look sleeper as fuck.
Corsair SF600
Matthew Lee
that heatsink blocks all airflow
James Reyes
>more fans makes it quieter
Wat
Isaac Jackson
It's less than 1/2 the volume of my current mid-tower. That's SFF. That CPU cooler really shouldn't have fit but I made it, and if the GPU had been a little longer it wouldn't have fit either.
Cameron Watson
Reminder that if you can see your tower, you desk isn't properly optimized
Leo Anderson
>using a sѹtower with terrible heat mitigation makes me more mature and sophisticated
*trims fashion beard*
Luke Sanchez
cringe
Ethan Moore
Yeah? You can have 6 nice high end 140mm fans with a constant 5v that are 100% silent and move a ton of air.
Or you can have 3 shitty PWM 120mm fans that have to spin up to stupid speeds under load.
Wyatt Rodriguez
>Why haven't you switched to a small form factor case yet Jow Forums?
I don't want to be associated with idiots like these:
>buys a small bomb
>blocks airflow from it
Carter Hill
*sucks moderator cock*
mmm I love censorship!
Isaiah Wood
Or you can have an actual optimized air flow and massive radiators to get decent cooling with 2 fans at 10%
Jayden Lewis
just use t-line
Cameron Rivera
This. Small form factor cases are an accessory for a soiboy
James Howard
t line looks shit in SFF and you are still limited where you can put it,
mini acrylic res, maybe mounted on the back of the gpu or custom moulded is the better solution. doesn;t really exist though.
Jace Hernandez
just close side panels
Jason Butler
I would love to
but itx cases cost like 100 times more than normal matx/atx cases
Julian Foster
>on Jow Forums
>doesn't jack it to traps
wot
Sebastian Jenkins
>Why haven't you switched to a small form factor case yet
threadripper is fucking huge and small boards don't exist for it (let alone cooling)
i got ncase m1 and dan a4 for other pcs though
Jose Phillips
Hmm.
Brandon Cook
he's talking about dan cases and the other low run cases that cost a bomb
Jason Taylor
>high quality, low volume niche market products cost more than mass produced products
Truly an injustice
Austin Ward
I'm not complaining, just saying SFF is still a niche and to get comparable quality to a desktop model you still pay more, with less materials cost.
Noah Moore
>still waiting for an ARM SBC capable of booting without blobs that has comparable processor specs/RAM to what you can get in a Thinkpad X201
That's all I want. Then I would spend time building an extra cute case for it, or even multiple cute cases, and shitpost about it non stop.
Michael Brooks
I care about being able to work inside without a pain in my dick over aesthetics and space saving.
Robert Anderson
I like how it's actually not just a generic box with wayyyy too much room for the parts used.
Colton Taylor
Same, i look inside my enthoo pro and it's like seeing my pc parts in the middle of a soccer field.
I'll be purchasing the ghost s1 when it's available.
Zachary Jones
>bahaha no case filters silly willy user!.
Do you have a deathwish motherfucker?.
Evan Ramirez
50 bux
sff
good cooling
Aiden Campbell
What the fuck are you talking about. They cost more no they don't check these links out no he's talking about the expensive ones of course they're more expensive they're niche SEE WHAT I MEAN THEY'RE MORE EXPENSIVE
Fucking hell
Noah Evans
In a year or two you'll just plug your phone usb c to hdmi adapter to a monitor with bluetooth kb/m, then you'll have the ultimate small form factor fanless pc
Jack Hughes
I really want to build a second system in a small form factor for portability and using it as my living room computer.
How small can I go while still having a dedicated GPU? I'm thinking one of those AMD Nano cards or one of the GTX Mini cards.
Jaxson Cox
is the Intel Skull canyon anygood? I can pick one up with the i7 16GB RAM 500GB SSD for $650 aus bux not sure if that's a decent deal or not.
