I needed some caddies to fit 2.5” SSDs in my Jonsbo N3. I tried printing a model I found online but it didn’t fit, so I stayed up late for 3 evenings designing my own and am very happy with how they came out.

They are a one piece PLA print with no supports.

The design includes sprung clips to hold the drive in place which work perfectly and give a very satisfying click when you insert a drive.

The top rail is also sprung and the rails are spaced slightly wider than the slots on the case, meaning that the springs compress slightly as the drives are inserted. This was done to create a snug fit and reduce vibration from adjacent spinning hard drives.

I designed it for the Jonsbo N3 but I assume it’d fit an N2, and possibly some others.

I designed these last year, spent a lot of time on it, and only actually use 2 of them in my server. I had planned to share the design but never got round to it. Posting to see if there’s any interest, and if there is, hopefully that’ll give me the motivation to upload the files somewhere (haven’t shared a design before so recommendations on where to share would be appreciated)

After years of salivating for this SFF pc case I finally have my very own in gun metal color.

About 1,300. Probably would've went with an am5 build, maybe something like 9600x to go with the 9060xt. But I had the ram so I stuck with am4.

Originally I had a Thermaltake 120mm aio and I made it fit but it couldn't keep the temps low. It in fact even shut down once during a stress test. Swapped out to the axp90 x53 and temps stay at a max of 90c. Decided to throw three fans in and buy a 120mm fan bracket off Etsy to mount that noctua fan.

Now temps are at a max of 88c under stress test. But typically in the high 70s to low 80s for real world gaming. One thing I find funny is the only time the psu fans spins is during start up. It never gets hot enough on that side of the case to turn on.

Also. I don't need that orange fan up top.

I want it.

I finally got around to finishing this build. This is a PC for my friend that I will ship to. The 9070XT reaper is practically the only good option for the T1 without sacrificing CPU air cooling.

Anyway, the kit itself is practically on par with the T1 in quality. I did struggle to figure out how to install it properly, there’s no instructions so I had to reconfigure the frame to make things work.

I highly recommend this kit, besides the rough installation it’s rock solid rigid and fits so well.

Hey everyone,
I'm currently building a PC in the Fractal Terra with a Ryzen 7 9850X3D, but I've hit a wall regarding CPU cooling and could really use some advice.
After doing some more research post-purchase, I realized cases like the FormD T1 (or NCASE M2) can support a 240mm AIO, which might have made cooling a 120W X3D chip much easier. Now I'm starting to wonder if choosing the Terra was a mistake for this specific CPU, as I'm constrained strictly to low-profile air coolers. Right now, I'm completely stuck trying to figure out which air cooler to go with for the 9850X3D in the Terra.

I have recently been looking at options for replacing the stock CPU fan/blower for my 3050 SFF. I found that it was just so damn loud when playing more modern games. I use the PC as a living room gaming machine and the fan/blower was just too distracting. I have young kids so can't crank the TV volume to compensate at night.

I came across this 3D printed adapter on eBay which promises to allow you to add any 120mm fan, which I wanted to try rather than force-fit an 80mm as I wanted to move as much air in the machine as I could.

Anyway, the adapter was fiddly to fit but I did get there. I needed to remove the optic drive and also the case close switch (and also tape it down to avoid any boot warning). I used the opportunity to repaste the CPU as well which turns out was badly needed, so I'm glad I did!

I also have a Noctua NF-A8 intake fan at the front and I've used the 4 pin splitter that it came with to power both - this worked perfectly.

When playing heavy games the fan at max speed is about half the volume of the stock fan which I'm very happy about. Most games I play don't need this (Doom 2016, Skyrim SE and similar) so the experience has improved significantly. However, when playing something like Resident Evil Requiem, the rtx3050 does seem to encounter thermal throttling at times (CPU sits fine at 80°c or so). Naturally the loud blower was good at removing hot air from the system, so there is probably more internal turbulence now. I'm not hugely bothered by this, but as a next step I'll probably fully remove the HDD and velcro my SSD somewhere, and I'm also looking at cutting the case + adding some mesh to allow hot air to escape better. I have undervolted the GPU which has also boosted performance. I'm very happy with how it runs games, keeping in mind the GPU is connected via the PCIe x4 slot (see Unigine benchmark pic).

Anyway, what started off as a fairly weak retro emulation machine has now transformed into a capable little living room gaming PC, and I couldn't be happier!

Upgraded from the Athlon 3000g to a Ryzen 3 pro 2200ge 35w (£15), also snagged a full copper thermalrite axp x47 and nvme heatsink on the Amazon sale.

Quite the uplift in performance after setting ctdp from auto to 65w, now the Ryzen can go full pelt without any drops in igpu and core frequency even when there is a huge load on both when stressed. Nifty little tip.

Now it's just waiting till January to get a new CPU.

Have to say I'm pretty stoked with the full copper cooler, it's gorgeous.

I built this a couple years ago when the 4060 LP first came out. I had a mini-ITX motherboard leftover from upgrading my machine to an ATX motherboard (seen here) so I added an HDPLEX psu and tried to make the smallest possible case for a riser-less computer. The case is made specifically for this 4060 LP and there is about 1mm of space between the components and the case, which measures at 212mm x 192mm x 86mm with a wall thickness of 3mm.

I specifically wanted the simplest case to 3D print and build into so it's just basically a box and it fits on my 3D printer (Prusa MK3S) and prints in two pieces: the box and the panel cover. The design was something where I thought thermals-be-damned, I just wanted to see if the parts could fit together and give a dense brick of computing. So I basically jammed the PSU in front of the fan cooling the CPU.

Surprisingly, this works ok for gaming and gaming benchmarks. IIRC the Cyberpunk benchmark measured temps in the mid 80s F, which is hot but still doable. Where it falls down hard is in Cinebench where we would hit the thermal throttling limit pretty fast. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this design, it's just an experiment that worked out ok. I used it as a second computer but it's been neglected for a while. I've ordered a Thorzone Tetra S and am hoping to move the motherboard and a 4090 into that if it comes soon. If not, it'll be time to rebuild the FormD T1.

Of the pictures included here, there are two versions of the case: one has hexagon cut outs on the top and bottom, that is v1, and the update has slot cut outs to allow screwing in fans, that is v1.1. The second version has another screw hole to tighten up the left panel so it feels like a solid brick. I didn't extend the case to allow fitting in bigger fans which would've helped thermals. Instead the case just barely fits the motherboard and we use 40mm Noctua fans at the top, overlapping the motherboard.

ในตัวอย่างเขาเปลี่ยนเป็นพัดลมขนาด 120 ของ thermalright tl c12015b 120mm slim fan แต่ไม่รู้เขาใช้การ์ดจอตัวไหน

เลยอยากจะเอาการ์ด 4060 solo เปลี่ยนดูมั้งเพื่อใส่กับ ฝาเคส A07 3d print ไม่แน่ใจว่าถ้าเปลี่ยนพัดลม ต้องใช้ อะแดปเตอร์อะไรไหม

I've always wanted to build in an ITX chassis... and here it is!

As part of my selfhosting/homelabing hobby I wanted some small form factor machines to use as Proxmox nodes. I couldn't find anything that quite worked for me, so I ended up building something myself, settled on this design around the ASUS Pro H610T D4-CSM thin-ITX motherboard.

I designed and 3D printed the 1U enclosure to fit the motherboard, a network card and an internal PSU.

Components:

• ASUS Pro H610T D4-CSM motherboard
• Intel Core i5-13500T
• 32GB Kingston DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM
• 2TB Kioxia Exceria Plus G4 NVMe SSD
• Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet card with PCIe riser
• Low-profile copper CPU heatsink (from AliExpress)
• Arctic 40mm cooling fans
• Mean Well LOP-300-18 PSU
• ATX KVM board (for power control via PiKVM)

The enclosure is printed in Sunlu HS Matte PETG, with brass threaded inserts for assembly. Quite happy with how it turns out. Last picture is it in the rack with it's sibling, and my current 3U 3D printed NAS.
