thanks @immaguy1234 & @fasauceome

I suggest looking into MikroTik as well, theres a little bit of a setup process but its good equipment. Similar business model to Ubiquiti but I've had way better experiences with MikroTik vs. Ubiquiti.

I run a crs125-24g-1s-rm which handles my PPP authentication to the ISP and also does DHCP, NAT, Firewall. You can implement IPS and IDS. They have models with Wi-Fi and built in 10Gb ports. Look into them if you're willing to learn a little bit about WinBox which is a GUI program to configure them vs. command line.

Multiple parts on order!!! Build update with pictures will be coming this weekend with initial CPU temp tests. Rest of the hardware will be ordered soon!!

Follow thread for updates this weekend with Cooler Master GeminII M4, temporary OS will be installed on SATA SSD. Graphics card, and NVMe SSD's along with testing with Noctua L12 will follow after Christmas.

Stay tuned!!

Come to think of it, I've got some Opterons around as well, maybe an Opteron mITX build could be suitably oddball...

RGB water-cooled mITX Opteron....yeah, that could be fun to put together

Get this sucker, 10Gbe SFP ports and also have pretty decent passmark scores

Either current, or gens past (this is not a gaming rig)

I'd like to build something small and for fun, with some Xeons I have around, but I've yet to find a board that specifically states support for Xeons.

Anyone know of anything? I'll likely (if I can find one) be picking this up from eBay, so used/last gen (or older) is fine.

SuperMicro makes a bunch just look up their website, they have some socket type and some are directly soldered on.

Thought about putting one in my mITX build.

So I don't really have any pictures of the progress of this, its dragged on for almost a year because it was kind of a weekend project and as you can see its still not complete. I still have some wires that I need to clean up that are still running out the door and there's also a broken jack on the bottom patch panel but for the most part it is done. Everything is CAT6, I used Monoprice riser cable for all the horizontal cabling runs because believe it or not it is actually better quality cable for the price than other brands. Monoprice is solid copper, many boxes you find on Amazon or god forbid eBay are aluminum copper clad. All the patch cables and panels are CAT6 and I have a 1Gbp link all the way back to the VDSL modem. The MikroTik is handling PPP and all the DHCP, NAT, etc.

So far the MikroTik has worked wonders for me, I'm still working out some kinks trying to implement IDS/IPS with snort integration with the MikroTik and also trying to set some bandwidth limits. Eventually the demarc on the outside of the house will be moved and trenched with new line all the way out to the DSLAM but for right now everything is working like a champ. All the equipment (Excluding consumer grade modem) is grounded and I've also got a dedicated ground on both the DSL and cable lines.

Hope ya'll enjoy, if you have any questions or advice I'd love to learn.

You can add conditions to the fasttrack rule so that only certain things get fasttracked, then everythig else is affected by queues. I do this to apply a queue to my WAN port, so my fasttrack rule just has a “not WAN” applied to inbound and outbound interfaces.

Can you share an example of this? This would be exactly like something I would want to do. Thanks

So far this hasn't been working so great for me, I have a limited upload around 1Mbps that's easily maxed out so I wanted to create a queue to limit upload to something like 768k. The problem is to do this you have to disable fasttrack which I don't want to do because there're certain things such as games I want to be fasttracked through the firewall. I've also tried creating some layer 7 and mangle protocols however these are CPU intensive and tend to have a lot of overlap with certain protocols, especially web traffic coming over the same port. 

Any advice?

Opinions on accent color for cabling and possibly custom loop if air cooler can't keep the 9700K cool?

I'm leaning towards a lighter blue or a kinda dark gray?

@1kv @King Poet @kelvinhall05 @brob @TVwazhere @Selder

Opinions on water cooling using this rad in the top? Built in reservoir which would probably be better solution than Jay's. Water cooling I would go with 9900K. I think I could get a 9700K to run on a modded NH-L12 (Put 120mm slim on the bottom instead of 92mm).

Opinions?

amirite?

 

But seriously, my vote is for air. After watching Jayztwocents video, just seems like too much of a pain. 

I'm confused on the nickname

Is the extended height of two large tophats worth being able to watercool? Stick with air cooling??

I don't think I will be able to run 9900K on air in that case so factor that into decision.

Air: 8700K

Water: 9900K

Part of this build log is to help other people building in the same case or similar ones so I thought I would though this website in. Good testing and lineup of low profile CPU coolers from Louqe they did in house.

EDIT: More cooler testing I've found using newer 8700K

Please keep us posted in the future of the air cooler's performance! Also just a quick follow up question, how did you receive your case? (as in; was it through DHL/Fedex or just the local postal service?) I'm just asking because I noticed the rather expensive 40 euros for shipping

I ordered mine through Kickstarter almost a year ago, it was fulfilled by Amazon and shipped through USPS.

The synthetic test used isn't stressing the graphics card and the extra heat from that during gaming might make cooling similar if not worse. A 120mm fan like the NF-A12x25 would help but the difference wouldn't be massive. I don't think it's likely to get anything more than an undervolt similar to the video. If you'd rather have higher clock speeds, the 9700k probably makes more sense.

I might just break down and buy a couple too hats and watercool it. Trying to decide if it's worth the extra money and making the case bigger to have the hardware or just to step down the hardware.

Go all out like Jay did, and build into this case fully watercooled  

UPDATE:

So I have NO INTENTION of starting this build because it's done however its now my primary work desktop and I thought I would fill in the people that were interested. I switched out cases for the Corsair 600C, I'm running 4x 120GB Inland Professional ($24ea.) in a RAID 0 with a 1TB WD Se storage drive, I've got a Intel X520 that's connected up to 10Gb fiber all the way back to the ISP, Serial card, Quadro K1200 and swapped out all the fans for Noctua Industrial PPC with Cromax noise dampeners.

I went ahead and took some pictures of my test and demo equipment, I've got some Meraki equipment not all of which is pictured, Mac Pro for troubleshooting all those Apple issues and a whole rack full of Cisco equip and hosts.

The 9700k is easier to cool but will still be difficult with air cooling in the Ghost S1. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-review/21

It might be okay with an undervolt and the NH-L12. https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-L12-Low-profile-Quiet-Cooler/dp/B007C861WO

The NH-L12 with the single lower fan barely keeps a 9900k with an 1.1v undervolt at 92c.  

@AMD Lover For future reference, you should mention what case you're using. 

Yeah, in normal use however with games and general use it shouldn't run as hot as synthetics however is something I have been considering and also I've been looking at that video a lot and think maybe you could get a 15mm thick 120mm fan on the bottom side and still clear the RAM.

I would love to however I don't really want two gigantic tophats... kinda ruins the small aspect of the case. Not saying its still not insanely small even with two large tophats, its just not as small...

11 hours ago, ijoj said:

I'm planning to build in this case too! Do you by any chance know if purchasing from Louqe's website is for the second batch of the case or future batches instead?  

 

Also the Noctua NH-L12 seems like the go to choice if youre planning on air cooling your CPU

I've been wondering what the availability of the stuff on their website is too because if I go watercooling I'll have to order a tophat, I believe its second batch.

Yeah I believe the NH-L12 is going to be what I go with, I might end up buying 2 or 3 different air coolers and testing performance.

So I'm cramming some pretty high end components into a extremely small case. I was planning on air cooling it however after some thinking I believe it would be possible to do a custom loop. I could get the case extension and add a thick 240mm rad and use higher quality components and put both the CPU and GPU in a custom loop. The other option would be to leave the GPU air cooled and throw a AIO on the CPU?

I would prefer air cooling the CPU as well and I'm going to try I just don't know how well it'll handle temps.

Go check out the start of my build log here, the one in my signature is my old computer.

Everyone that followed this build go give my new one a follow, itll be interesting to see how thermals handle!!

I usually go to the computer recycle store and pick up desktops with Windows 7 Pro keys which work fine for Windows 10 clean installs then take the boxes back to the recycle after I peeled the tag off.

Motherboard and power supply are on order!!! Other parts will slowly start to roll in over the next month, this should be a quick build!

Hey guys!

It's been awhile, you can check out my last build log in my signature however it got converted into a work desktop and I needed something for gaming and home use again. I bought this Louqe S1 on Kickstarter ALMOST 12 MONTHS AGO!!!! Well... it's finally here, more pictures of the case will roll in as it is taken apart to install the hardware. I'll throw some specs and first pictures in down below, I do need a name for this build... Tiny? Compact? Help me think of something. Let me know if I've left any import info out you would like to know, constructive criticism and questions are definitely welcome.

Well, those are going to have a hard time. I would step back a little on your cpu choise imo.

Noctua - NH-L9x65 is as good as it gets in terms of height. Also undervolting is a must and you can forget overclocking

If I went to a 9600K or 9700K would temps be more tolerable?
