Hi all, This is my first post although i have been building machines for some 13 years, I have amazed myself by sqeezing a brand new core i5 gaming system with a water cooling loop into a Sugo SG03, which is by far and a way the most innovative chassis ive used in a long time, cudos to silverstone. System specs are the following. Asus Maximus III Gene Intel Core i5 750 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 (matched 2G Pair) Be Quiet 650Watt PSU. WDC Raptor. old one being replaced. Asus GTS 250 Corsair H50 cooler this has suprising all worked well with a CPU temp of 40 degrees at rest and 45 under load. great little gaming beast. i have just ordered a nice M225 SSD for windows 7 just to speed it up. The only Con is that its fairly noisy, i may try some acousti mat but i dont want to compromise the cooling. I think this is a brand new era for small gaming rigs, just curious what you cool people think? Rock on WCD.
This isn't a mod log You should stick it in the modding section If you need to quieten it down what fans are you using? What CPU/GPU coolers are on there? Is there potential for vibration going on? If it's on stock coolers there's an easy peasy way to lower your noise Vibration can be even easier to fix. Yep I definately think that small cases are the thing to do atm. I'm contemplating making my wife's build one, but dunno if I wanna buy an mATX mobo as the one in it works just fine.
the mat probably wont increase temps by a noticeable amount. however unless you want a close to silent rig it probably isnt worth the cost either.. there are also other sound insulation materials (or whatever they are called ) out there, they are not specifically designed for pcs but they are much cheaper and should work almost as well.. however ive never tried them.
