OC & Modding All things SFF

I have a zebronics case (sama clone), needed a usb type c port on it.
Ended up buying This.
It works well with my type c ssd, speeds are comparable to native type c port on laptop but maybe a bootleneck if u want to use a nvme ssd.

i saw Ant esports Box C, but seems to have air flow issues and might need a sfx PSU.

If I don't get hands on a Z20 clone i might have to go with this.

Zeb woodan shouldnt have any airflow issue and you can even use an atx psu if u already own one.
Worst case if u have multiple hdd, you may have to let go of couple front headers.
And honestly its build quality is way better than my old cooler master case while costing 4600 on amazon sales.

Do you get ~400-500MB/s speeds on that type c adapter?

I have a sata ssd, i get around 250-300 which is the same i get without adapter.
But you can check the reviews and see what they say.

It is ITX only - I have R5 3600 + B550i installed in it - no space to fit in the mATX (unless you have MB's similar to H470M-HDV or H370M-HDV - which are difficult to find it in India)

Please update here how everything goes, how much including shipping, I am assuming there will customs too.
I am eyeing Dan A3 but worried RTX 3080 FE temps will suffer, my city gets way to hot in summer. Plus even if I manage to fit two fans at the bottom fan cables will make a mess with ATX psu, any case MATX case recommendations?

3080 FE has a really bad cooler design.. and gets really hot.. you need a high airflow case for sure for it.

Hi everyone, I started a new thread about building in fractal terra. Didn’t post here thinking it might need separate discussion, but here’s the link:

Folks, I have some question on fan placement for my CH160.

The fans (arctic p12) are all exhaust creating a negative pressure inside, while the temps are fine. Its causing a lot of dust accumulation.

Am unable to mount the fan at the front as its suited for a slim profile fan only nor I have room for any DIY to tie down the fan. I have to install them as shown below.

My questions are.
1. Can I use top fans(both) as intake or its a bad idea? or use just one (top left) as intake?
2. What other options I can try?

P.S ignore the fan lighting, I had not daisy chained the RGB cables.
