Cooltek RM1

[Darksaber]

The Jonsbo RM1 powered by Cooltek turns some serious heads by being extremely compact and lightweight, but with the ability to swallow a fully sized ATX board. On top of that, it comes with a 5.25" drive bay and small fan controller. All this while using an all-aluminum construction.

I like this case a lot! I have been wanting to buy one but I don't see it for sale in my area. I would love to have the red one. It is a nice small case yet this be able to take a full size atx. What is the recommended price for these?

I just wonder why Jonsbo don't make it 7 pcie slot, it is not that much difference. This would be a good case if they'd put ventilation holes at the side door that is able to mount a 2 120mm fan there. I had seen someone squeeze a 240mm aio around that area. Having ventilation holes at the front would help to, the aesthetic would be less clean but it would be more practical to allow the front fan an air intake.

Look like I need to mod this case to able to use it fully well.

It looks nice and a good idea to remove 3.5 bays.

But imo, they should made it a Little bit deeper and then placed in PSU in the front - making bigger cpu-coolers possible.

If you are average overclocker - the CPU coolers in this seize is not enough.

This is what i would definitely buy if i was building a NAS

Another nice case from them.

Just the other day I was searching for their CoolCube because the first choice for my new system, a Lian-Li Q01, is out of stock everywhere and none of the stores know if they'll get any again. The CoolCube (Rosewill Legacy V3 Plus) is also out of stock at Newegg but at least it has an auto-notify option, so there may be hope

Thanks for the review. It would've been nice to see some temperature tests, since this case has such a limited airflow. I'm considering transferring my ATX build to this case (i5 2500K), but I'm still not convinced the whole thing won't turn into an oven due to lack of air vents.
I think the major fault with the case is a lack of air vents on the side panel. If they added air vents to the (cases) left side panel and a way to attach an AIO water cooler this case would be a must buy for me.

It may not be ideal for everyone, but I wouldn't be too worried with any common build. My wife's system has a very similar design in that there's a front fan pulling through small vents and the PSU is in front of the CPU.

That just butts up against the PSU which draws the air out of the case. The i5-3470 in there runs at it's turbo speed for hours under OCCT.

What cooler is that? I just wonder would it be harmful to the Psu for it to be pulling hot air from the cpu? I so intend to get this cooltek case soon. I am not too sure of my cooling options for this cooltek the heatsink is limited to 90mm. I thought of getting the scythe shuriken 2. The most ideal is to use an aio for the cooltek or build a custom water cooling which I don't have experience as being an air person.

Hey @Darksaber , did the fan look anything like the Scythe GTs to you? Because it looks to me like one.

GeminII S524, about half-way down the page. I also see they've put out a new version of it: http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Lines/cpu-air-cooler/

No side effects so far and it's been running almost 3 years. H77 board, so no overclocking, just turbo-boost. I don't think I've heard the fans ever ramp up so it's a pretty cool running chip

Unfortunately it seems the new version is too high for this case (max 95mm). So far the "Thermolab/Cooltek L53" seems the best low profile cooler (<95mm) I've found.

The video below shows it beating out the "Noctua NH-L12":

The chart below shows the LP53 + Noctua A9 fan (mounted with zip ties!).

Good looks but jeez what a fail ventilation wise. What were they thinking with that front fan..
