Yes, I don't understand why the GPU heating up worse when it uses 2x 120mm fans than the stock ones, the difference is when I use 120mm fan there is about 1cm gap between the fans and the GPU heatsink, the fans were attached to the case bottom fan mounts, not on the GPU because it can't be installed on the GPU. This is the best I can do with the cables, with PWM and DC fan hubs, This is how the CPU cooler fan overlapped the case side frame. I was worried that i can't put the side panel on, but surprisingly it's no problem for the side panel to be installed.

What about Ducky One 2 Mini? I really like this keyboard since it's already great right out of the box compared to its price. I'm still lurking the GMK Uniqey C70 tho, but I see a little chance that I would get it despite its awesomeness, because I already used to the 60% size without having dedicated arrow keys. My brain has memorized how to use the Ducky One 2 Mini arrow keys on the second layer, and so far I'm very happy with it and I really love it.. I don't like RGB inside a PC but I found that I like to have RGB on a keyboard, and the RGB features on this one it's just lovely.. Very good value 60% mechanical keyboard. The Ducky One 2 Mini is much more than enough for me. The specs are awesome, even its frames and body are made of plastic, but it's really well built.

High voltage!

I wonder if I can get the older NH-C14 fan clips separately from noctua or any retailers here to mount NF-A15 Chromax onto the cooler, because it looks better with A15 than A14, I tried to mount the NF-A15 Chromax with the stock NH-C14S fan clips, and it's just too loose, can't hold the A15 firmly on the heatsink. Ordered the custom sleeved 24pin ATX cable from local modder here. A black colored sleeved cable with minimalistic asimetrical Noctua themed color stripes in between. It will be like this, IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII

Thanks very much! ? This one is real challanging first SFF build, especially in the planing process, and very tedious building process, especially in the cable managements on the back panel, because I have 2x fan hubs on there. I want to use a big CPU air cooler and it has been installed, and big thicc GPU latter on. About the GPU.. Earlier I installed 2x 120mm fans with 25mm thickness under the GPU but it snugged the GPU shroud, and its fans grinds the back frame of those 120mm fans and it was bad. Then I took off the GPU shroud only to have the GPU heatsink left with 2x 120mm fans below it, but the GPU temps gone mad, it reached its maximum thermal limit at 92C and crashed the system. After that I reassemble the GPU as normal and took off those 2 120mm fans, then everything runs normally, the GPU runs as cool as when it was inside the Evolv ITX, maxed out at low 60C with +230 MHz Core +550 MHz Memory. While the CPU still runs at 5GHz 1.34v stable, averaging 77C and peaking at 85C in Realbench 4 hours stress test. The average temps is the same when it was in the Evolv ITX and NH-D15 but it was peaking at 82C back then. This time with NH-C14S I set more aggressive fan curve than with the D15. Honestly, I think this C14S gives me more stable OC than the D15, maybe because its downdraft design cools the motherboard VRM better than D15 does. I will change the rubber pad on the cooler fan with other colored ones to spice things up little bit. Despite there are some tiny touches here and there, there's no vibration sounds from it. It's quiet as I expected.. I still not satisfied by my cable management. Will improve on that sector..

Both drives. a Seagate Momentus 2.5" HDD and a WDC Blue 3.5" HDD. Even if I plugged both USB ports at the same time still cant power them? Both HDD cannot be detected by the system..

Hi everyone.. I have 2 unused HDD, I want to move some data from there to my PC using SATA-to-USB cable, but both drives cannot be detected by the PC when I connect them to all of the USB ports one by one on my PC using that cable. That cable is the only device I have to connect HDD externally to PC but apparently it doesn't work, or I might missed something. This is how that cable looks like, How can I make my HDDs to be detected by PC using this cable?

That one is a huge Kirin!

Hi all.. This is my very first SFF build. Still alot of rooms to improve, but so far I'm quite pleased and enjoy the building process. I just finished this afternoon. Before this build I used Phanteks Evolv ITX as my platform. Only for 1.5 years my interest to a real small form factor become stronger and stronger until I cant resist it. Finally I dare myself to build one. The initial idea was to have a tiny form factor system but running as beefiest components (CPU cooler and GPU) as it allows and it has to be air cooled. I'm a kind of average budget person, so I cannot afford the NCASE M1 as it's so expensive to finally reach my hand ($190 base price and mark it up to $314 to arrived in front of my door), and I'm not into the purchasing system it runs. So I ended up with the "Poor man's M1" version, the Cougar QBX. Basically I just migrated some of my previous PC components inside the Evolv ITX to the QBX, and will upgrading the GPU later on, wait for what AMD will offer with their NAVI. And this is the part list: CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K, 5 GHz, delidded with LM CPU cooler: Noctua NH-C14S Motherboard: MSI Z370i Gaming Pro Carbon AC RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 Gb, 2666 MHz GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6 Gb FTW2 DT PSU: Corsair SF600 Platinum Case cooling: 1x Noctua NF-R8 80mm fan front intake, 1x Cougar stock 92mm fan rear exhaust, 2x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 fans top exhaust. I did an extensive research before I decided to execute my trigger for this kind of build. After I decided to use the Cougar QBX, from there I start to try to find any informations as many as possible from its specs, what's the biggest components it can take based on its official specs, until to finally I found the untold specs that this case hides inside itself, and then I saw a wider choices of components to keep me consistent with my initial idea. I was about to upgrade my GPU also along the building proccess, but life is quite rough lately, so I need to save some cash for it and the GPU upgrade is in hold for it, but I don't mind as there will be AMD to show up some new line-ups soon enough, so I stay calm and patience.. For the PSU, I was thinking about it for a month to find which SFX PSUs are available in my country. Initial plan was Enermax Revolution SFX or Seasonic Focus Gold SGX, but both models are out of stock, even Silverstone SX-G also. The SFX PSU which available in where I live is the Corsair SF, so I get this little big boy instead even the price is over my target, but I think I cant go wrong with this unit. The CPU cooler??? Cougar stated that QBX maximum height of CPU cooler it can accomodate is only 105mm, but after extensive research it can take 145mm CPU cooler with side plate/bracket uninstalled. The trade off is I lose 2x any 2.5" storage drives mounts and 1x 3.5" HDD mounts, and 1x 120mm side fan mount. I take the trades to put NH-C14S to cool my 5GHz 8700K inside a tiny case, also since I don't need many storage drives so I can live with it. TL:DR, here some of the pics when I built it, it's not the pretiest build, but like I said, there are still alot of rooms to improve, and also I'm sorry for the poor quality pics. I installed the SF600 with this orientation to allow me to install 2x 120mm NF-F12 fans just to exhaust heat as fast as possible when it needed. I set the NF-F12 at constant 1000-1500 RPM up until 80C, and higher RPM for over 80C. the front top exhaust NF-F12 is to pull out the PSU heat without leaving heat is being trapped at the gap between PSU bracket and the top/roof of the case, while the rear top exhaust NF-F12 is to pull out the CPU heat. About the motherboard.. Initially I plan to upgrade to Asrock Phantom Gaming Z390 ITX/ac also to future proofing, but found that there is someone have problem with the NH-C14S on old motherboard inside QBX, and it makes the guy cut the heatsink to fit in there. Then it made me wonder if each motherboard has their own certain exact spot or let say coordinate of the CPU socket relative to the motherboard area and dimension. I was quite sure it has and it will affect to the NH-C14S compatibility. I was discouraged by some opinions that saying I will be unlikely to be able to fit the NH-C14S without involving some mods. But challenge accepted, and I see a quite big risk ahead but I decide to gamble myself for it, I took the risk and move on.. I checked the Asrock vs my preowned MSI board. Crop their pics at same orientation and size, I found that Asrock CPU socket is located slightly to upper right direction, while MSI has it tend to be located the opposite direction, lower to the left. From here I cancle my decision to get Asrock and stay with my current motherboard instead. Aaaaand this is when the NH-C14S heatsink is succesfully installed on the system.. No mod/s required. Look how close my risk by gambling on it.. Just tiny touch perfect fit! This is the spot where a real conflict happens.. No big deal rubber vs metal. Only the outer fin which get bent by the power cable, no worries.. a milimeter gap on the rear sector vs 25mm thick rear exhaust fan with the NF-A14 Chromax installed..! (I have it already from the previous build) I was about to use NF-A15 instead because it's aestethically better than NF-A14, but the mounting clips are not compatible, tried to use the NH-D15 fan clips also not compatible, so NF-A14 is OK then, it's the same fan after all, only different style. and with the side panel on.. Just to test the side fit. It actually touches the side panel but only a light touch on the fan rubber pads, it doesnt even push the panel, so I still can slide the panel on and off quite easy.. No gap between the side panel and the case body by the fan vs side panel touch.. I'm safe.. It's a nice relieve.. I was planing to install the NF-A14 under the heatsink so I can install the side bracket on to be no compromise on the QBX features but the 24 pin ATX power cable doesn't allow me to do that, so here we are now.. Touch the limit not so perfect fit! I will upload the full build when the time is right.. I'm still planing to change the sleeved cables with the custom ones and upgrading the GPU.. Any inputs and rating, comments and opinions, or any constructive ideas are greatly welcome, I highly appreciate it.. Thanks for your time and attention.. Regards..

Several times.. I suddenly just lol-ed myself by seeing this topic title at first.. I get your point right away by just read the topic, and I'm correct..

Have you seen that Cooler Master 60% low profile mechanical keyboard which Paul reviewed recently? Its strobbing RGB made me dizzy.. Wait until someone buy it and get epilepsy of it..

Could someone show me some good PBT key set to replace my default Ducky One 2 Mini keys? And where to buy? Looking for same profile as the default ones, but with some nice colors to spice things up. Prefer not to be a group buy thing or similar to it, just want the simple direct purchase system ones.

How long do you use it in daily average sessions to get a single charge every 5 days? Since when you use the g703?

I checked the official site, the Powerplay mouse pad includes soft & hard pad which each costs $30 & $40, and the charging pad itself with the rest of the cost, so it's basically $30+$40+$30 sets. I'm not too convinced to buy it, but the tech under the pad is tempting. Hmmm..

I also really wanted to get the G Pro Wireless regarding its weight and battery life, but just because it's expensive, so I get the G703 instead.

Hey, which Logitech mice has the Powerplay support? I also just purchased the G703, I'm waiting it to arrive in the next few days. @Noah0302 @Gohardgrandpa Do you use Powerplay pad? Wonder if it's worth to have, seeing the price is high just for a charging mouse pad. Also what we will get from the packaging?

If I were you I'd get the Logitech G403/G703 wireless

Mind that both PSU you mentioned has different AC power socket location and orientation if it matters to the interior layout of the build.

Is the sf600 gold fan just like the enermax sfx fan you told me earlier? Does the extra price on the platinum worth over the gold? I only see their differences are the atx bracket and sleeved cables, but idk how the component and performance of each.

@Hiya! G502 wireless vs G Pro wireless, which one do you think has a better value than the other?

What is the differences between the variant of Corsair SF600 Gold vs Platinum?

I never be a fan of RGB, I prefer plain white lighting. I have a Phanteks DRGB Starter Kit installed inside my PC but ended up never be turned on after a few weeks it's turned on of the installation. In the end I found myself that I dont like any lighting inside a PC except hardware function indicator lights.

With RAY TRACING! It just works..
