[PROJECT] mATX

[Kirisame-Sama]

My Xeon X3210 placed in my DFI LANPARTY JR P45-T2RS.

And the S-1284c (what I'm calling it from now on) mounted. It's a wee bit bigger than my old cooler to say the least It kinda sorta makes the mATX motherboard look like a smaller form factor.

Cooler clearance is cutting it close with the fan coming withing millimeters of the northbridge and the fins almost touching the VRM heatsink.

Fatal showed me this today, I gotta say, bad-@$$. But my main question is, where did you get your turtle, he's just as bad@$$ as the case, motherboard, and so forth, and I totally want one.

I got it as a gift from a buddy of mine when he went to New York

 

[Scrizz]

I want a turtle too

What does everybody think of these for once I get everything sleeved UV Orange?

They have UV LEDs, and the fan is UV Blue while the casing and connector sleeving and connectors are UV Orange. They also have separate leads for the LEDs, so I would basically hook them up separately to a fan controller and be able to turn the LEDs on and off, and control the speed of the fans.

as long as the noise and airflow levels are acceptable, they'd look damn sweet

I used to have some of a different color, and I know they're a bit noisier than they claim, but these are the specs:

2000RPM, 2.8W, 29dB, 78CFM.

 

[Mussels]

29db + 80CFM... fine if you want monsters.

my PC is <15db, i'm a silent freak. so those would be unacceptable to me... but maybe not to you. do they undervolt well?

 

[DanishDevil]

I had them running off of 5V before with those little Zalman molex to dual 12V and dual 5V doohickeys, and they were nice and quiet but still moved a good amount of air.

I like silent, but I can deal with something if it's not. Medium Petras Yates are a tad loud for my taste but bearable. Those run 33dB @ 70CFM. Then again, my case quiets things down probably 5dB or so. I'd like to get a fan controller to run everything off of so I can dial the fans down just right, and also flip a switch for all the LEDs and my UV CFFLs to turn on and off. That way I can go from a small, unassuming dark case to INSTANT UV BLING!

i just realised how similar your BMW logo is, to that of the umbrella corporation.

 

[DanishDevil]

I don't really see a huge resemblance...

In case you don't know, BMW stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and they started out making airplane engines, so they incorporated both the propeller of an airplane and the Bavarian flag into their symbol.

that was something interesting to learn

Sadly, it looks like until I either get enough money, space, or parts to run two systems simultaneously, this project is going to have to be put on hold. I am focusing my efforts elsewhere for right now (you'll hopefully find out soon enough what that focus will be).

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Not to worry, and I'm mostly certain that I speak for all sub'd to this thread that we'll wait eagerly for new updates with pictures when you can devote your resources (whatever they maybe) to your worklog.

Good stuff dude!

I know that feeling so I am in the middle of figuring a way for my hardware to fit 2 comps (Tribute case and the Qpack) Its the times, we all need to be a bit more thrifty and include "Value" into our plans..
