Are extra rings needed with compressions? I would not us rotary's if i did not have to. I suppose i could do without and have a octo loop too kind of

Hi,
Only the thread end would be replaceable
I always wet o-rings before assembly they just tighten easier but I go for material made of and price mostly.

Someone should have a mITX build in that just for the lulz.

So many apologies guys, I've been neglecting my TPU forum duties and not posting enough!!

It's a little big I must say, should have a look into my project link if you'd like a few more smiles...... Linky just for the LOL's.....

Oh and a mITX in a ATX case I think this one was.... Way back in 2005

Hi,
Plenty of room for toys and pets for that matter :cool:

I think back then, I was more interested in it working rather than worrying about if it looked pretty or not!! :laugh:

I think you have slightly more hair than me, it's pretty close.

I once had a massive TT something 9 that was a good idea when i got it, but was huuge so turned out to be not a good idea.

I keep getting told bigger is better but I'm not so sure! :laugh:

I need to find some cases and such soon, wondering what to look at but I must admit, I'm very much liking the Fractal Design models....

I have a Define R4, Meshify C, and bought a Define C Mini by accident.. and later sold it.

They are such nice cases to work with.

I almost bought a Crosshair VIII DH yesterday, and then the impact but chickened out probably just get another Strix :laugh:

I cant decide if I want m/atx or just stick with regular atx.. my next case will be a Torrent.. I would like the compact, but I will probably just get the big boy. I bought my Meshify used for 60 bucks.. so if I can find another for the same price I'm going with it lol.. but not going to happen.

Deleted member 24505 · Mar 22, 2022

The torrent is the only FD case i would buy. The rest meh, box with widowed panel, near all of them. Google fractal design and see, the torrent is the only one that stands out.

I don't like how the window attaches on my Meshify. I don't have baseboards installed in the basement yet, so if I drop one of those thumbscrews and it rolls under the drywall again I wont lose my mind like I did the last time.. yay magnets. There are a few things about it that I don't like, but it is kind of small and that's where my problems are

But that Torrent? Yeah.. its my next case.. and its going to have to be the big one. Not in white since my last 2 are white.. not that I have anything against them.. just time to switch it up a little

And I have my excuse picked out already. Xavier needs a case for his computer, so he can have mine. Alex will get the Define.. and I get yet another computer part.. win/win I think

ROG or go home

seriously, if you're going to save a buck then keep your board or get a more cost effective one

I'm really not sure if mATX has a midrange/high end future. Especially with DDR5 basically needing more layer counts and SMT slots. We got what, a single very late 6-layer B550M Aorus Pro AX? On the other side there's still the Strix-G but everyone else migrated their higher end mATX to B660

Or maybe Asus will realize that you can only stack things so high, so will bring back the Gene for the real estate :rolleyes:

Isn't Fractal's ATX pretty small?

phill · Mar 22, 2022

I need a case to hold many a drives.... We'll see what is about.. I have an idea of one, it's just a question of what do I put into it.....

Actually that looks cool as hell, with modern hardware (modular PSU, SATA cables or NVMe drives) a similar build would look awesome, even in that case! :toast:

My procrastinating got me again lol. Was going to buy a Strix B550-F wifi this time.. was only 10 bucks more than my non wifi version.. it went back up 40 bucks lol.

The board was going to be for me and my kids can use mine with the 5600X. I know that combo works well.. maybe I will just get another F board. Plain Jane.. I will more than likely pass over m/atx.. it was a nice thought though.

Ruru · Mar 22, 2022

Personally I think that Strix has fallen for the once-premium level to normal casual level and they just sell with its known brand. Well, at least in GPUs they sell for insane premium compared to other manufacturers' premium models.

I have that case in my basement. Bought it as a prebuilt in 2004. Has a dead P4 motherboard in it now. :laugh:

I'm a sucker for big cases. I looked at smaller ones when I was building my current rig last year, but ended up with the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. I have zero complaints.

ah, a Tagan PSU, brings back memories. Had a TG480-U01 back in 2004-2005, an unique two fan design, but PSU was short lived. That sample did not play well with my s939 system at the time so it went to recycling.

Maybe.. I bought a TUF board from newegg.. what a piece of junk compared to my Strix.

And it was dead too, solidifying my opinion

ThrashZone · Mar 22, 2022

Hi,
All mainsteam boards are hit and miss they mostly fill a price gap between ROG and complete crap
One I would avoid like the plague is prime or prime deluxe these are bloated crap line.

Only good thing tuf has is 5 year warranty.

Yeah, TUF Wifi was a little rough around the edges, but it still outperforms my Impact handily at the same settings

there are good and bad TUF boards

You owe it to yourself to get something with a POST code and OC buttons man, and a temp header for the day you put together a loop

freeagent · Mar 22, 2022

Wow the tuf out performed your impact? Good thinkg I didnt buy the Impact lol.. it was more expensive than DH on Amazon.. crazy stuff mang.

I know I have been fighting myself about that. My mom said I am cheap

Heck my kids computer even has a postcode and OC buttons :laugh:

Well, I guess DH it is.. ouch

Ruru · Mar 22, 2022

Sucks that I don't have headers for temp sensors as I have few of those.

Hi,
Yeah I killed a couple tuf's but I also killed a couple prime deluxe's also before I gave up and got my current used x299 apex guess micro center was happy all deaths were their boards :laugh:

Tuf's did perform good though one pissing thing was x299 tuf didn't have a vrm sensor not sure prime did either.

Not sure about hedt since it's a few years back, but everything Asus below Strix-E on AM4 is RT8894-based ("ASP1106"), so zero accurate monitoring of anything VRM, don't matter if Prime/TUF/Strix. Asus doesn't love placing temp sensors in their VRMs, but Gigabyte and MSI will slap one on just about anything. iirc the ROG ones that have VRM temp rely on something extra (hwinfo thinks it's an embedded controller).

Intel probably a bit better with ISL69269 and whatever monster 20 phase PWM they use for Z690.
