Heey guys, we're going to hold a live Q&A tomorrow. So if you have ANY questions about MJOLNIR (shipping, quality, future plans) please join us tomorrow at 9:00PM CET, it's gonna be fun!! LIVE Q&A with Alex (Founder) | MJOLNIR | THOR ZONE

Less than 1 hour left guys!!

Turns out MJOLNIR's PSU-bracket can be flipped upside down to provide even more clearance for the AIO (from 57 to 59mm). Funny how it has more functionality than the creators are aware of lol x) It was discovered thanks to a comment from one of the guys over at the SFF forum.

Wow that's a pretty cool idea!

Heey guys! The first video is up (AIO/Liquid cooling guide), let me know what you think! ? https://youtu.be/cym0OLx26co

Would you look at those, finally managed to snap a couple of nice pics! ? Also, the first review unit is now in the hands of an epic tech reviewer! Gonna launch this mighty beast on November 26 at 4pm CET! What do you guys think? Btw that upside down corsair logo can be fixed by flipping the core Best, Alex

You can see the full thermals document here

Wazzup guys!The cases are now fully assembled, just have to wait for black screws and packaging before we packe'em up and send off to YouTube! Check out some pics below, keep in mind that MUCH BETTER pics will come out once Mods By Ben Q takes a look at the cases.The three musketeers Let me know what you think Best, Alex

Heey guys, time for an update! Just got the word that the anodizing is finally finished, here are a couple of pics. FedEx estimates that they will be here on monday. Can't wait to put it all together and snap some awesome pics for you. Then it's time to continue the path of MJOLNIR ? Best, Alex

Thanks man, glad you like it!! ?

Heey guys, time for an update! ?Sorry for the lack of updates in the past 2 months, I blame at least 50% on poor / slow PostNord shipping. Anyways, the samples have now been examined and we're very happy with the anodizing quality. However, because we're using different alloys it will be hard to create that "space gray" / DARK anodizing for the prototypes, especially if we want the parts to match with each other. The anno-shop told us that they would do their best, but if there are color match problems the parts will be anodized in black.Natural light Fluorescent light The shells are packed and ready for final anodizing! I'll send the package today (Monday 5th of August). After that its 10 days shipping + 2 weeks anodizing (max) + 1 weeks of shipping back to us. Stay tuned for more and let me know if you have anything on your mind ?Best, Alex

Hey guys, I think you'll like this one! ?After a whole month of testing, we’re finally ready to present MJOLNIR thermal results – CHECK THEM OUT HERE.It’s good to point out that we have tried all possible fan configs (push vs pull), in some cases improving thermals by up to 9°C. Head over to page 14 (in the link above) to check out some recommendations – we tried it all so you don’t have to. I'll post a brief summary of the results below. HardwareCPU: INTEL CORE i7 8700GPU: ASUS RTX2070 TURBOPSU: CORSAIR SF60037 mm COOLER: NOCTUA NH-L9i48 mm COOLER: NOCTUA NH-L9i & NF-A9 PWM120 mm AIO: CORSAIR H55 & NOCTUA NF-A12x25 PWMFRONT FAN: NOCTUA NF-A12x25 PWMBACK FAN: NOCTUA NF-A12x15 PWM CPU Testing MethodsAll tests reached equilibrium long before 30 minutes, but we kept them running for the sake of consistency. First, we test CPU thermals in the standard orientation, for both metal- and glass panels. Next, we check if something improves in the reversed orientation. Last, we test how thermals are affected by swapping around the top panel and dust filter.CPU Thermals - Standard OrientationIt’s pretty evident from the results below that the 120mm AIO is vastly superior to any of the air-cooling options we tested. The difference really can’t be overstated. Setting the radiator fan to pull instead of push performed between 3°C to 9°C better. Using a 120mm fan below the motherboard (back fan) improved VRM thermals by 22°C. If you plan to go for a high-TDP CPU like the 8:th / 9:th gen Core i7 or Ryzen equivalent – definitely go for the water-cooling option. CPU Thermals - Reversed OrientationReversing the orientation yields an additional improvement of between 1°C to 6°C. Keep in mind that when using the 48mm cooler, the case fan should be configured in PULL for the metal panels and PUSH for the glass panels. Next, we check if thermals are improved further by swapping around the top panel and dust filter. CPU Thermals - Reversed Orientation & Dust filter topHaving the dust filter on top of the case, in reversed orientation, improves thermals further by about 1°C to 3°C, not much but still significant for those looking to overclock their high-TDP CPUs. If you’re the type of person that likes to push their system to the limit, definitely check out our setup recommendations on page 14 (in the link above). GPU Testing MethodsAll tests reached equilibrium long before 30 minutes, but we kept them running for the sake of consistency. Keep in mind that we’re using a blower-style GPU, a cooling solution optimized for thigh spaces. Thermals for open-air GPUs may vary, something to keep in mind.GPU Thermals Cable Management As you can see it gets pretty crammed in there, especially when maxing out (i.e AIO + 25mm thick fan + 120 mm fan below the motherboard + full-lenght GPU). I think it may be well worth the effort to create custom cables.Really hyped to hear what you guys think!!Best, Alex

Heeey man, you're everywhere! ? A true SFF Guru! I saw that post a couple of months back, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts!!

Yes indeed, and I really do appreciate that they constantly try new themes! But dang have I wished for MJOLNIR to be reviewed in a similar fashion to their Dan A4 vid. Optimum is pretty small right now, but wow...the quality of his reviews are out of this world (IMO on par with HWC or even better). You have some really good points, I'm definitely going to check with all the guys you mention: it would be a lot more fun to see different reviews of the case rather than the same thing over and over again.

Linus? ? I think he's to busy though... Dimitri, OptimumTech and Jay would be epic, have to check with those guys and see if they would be interested! Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! ?
