There is a 3D model of the Streacom case available on the Sketchup 3D database.quest_for_silence wrote:aquelito wrote:What do you think of his calculation ?
If you stick with the F7C Alpha, check twice (maybe directly with Streacom own customer support) if it may host a dual slot GPU (quiet GTX 750ti cards are dual slot ones).
Enclosed a first picture of how the system would look like :
- Samuel Prolimatech cooler (I need a off-centered, low profile cooler, that can accomodate a 120 mm fan).
Only 11 mm clearance between 120 mm fan and top panel when using a w. 25 mm fan.
- Dual-slot GPU coolers are indeed too large. GPU that large needs to be moved on the front part of the case, thanks to a PCIe extension riser.
Here is, apparently, a good quality one (quite expensive).
The PCIe riser is screwed to an aluminium plate (with nylon washers), plate screwed to the case through existing holes.
- I was able to purchase a cheap passive R7 240, brand new, for half its price. Couldn't let it go
If placed horizontally (vs. vertically on the picture), the overhanging CPU cooler should also help cooling it right ?
A Zalman 8900 CPU rad-like would be a better choice when it come to cool surronding components ?
I will also add a slim 80 mm exhaust fan in front of the GPU.
If not enough, I can still strap the 80 mm fan on the GPU rad itself.
- Finally, the visible PSU is a Pico-Box Z3 200 W.
Users feedbacks are pretty good ; seems an OK quality product, not as good as HDPLEX but way cheaper.
They also have this 300 W unit.
What do you think ? Is it worth saving 50 € ?
Thanks anyway for your help and interest
