Question 1

Does anyone know of a Bluray burner that will fit into this thing via slot load?

Thank you,

Accepted Answer

There are several slot load burners on NewEgg that should fit. You won't be able to press an external eject button if it has one though. The mounting mechanism for a would be drive isn't the best but you should be able to line the slot up fairly well. I ended up just using an external slim USB 3 drive instead.

Question 2

Wait... "Mounting holes for one 2.5 drive or a Laing DDC Pump"?

Anybody know if this thing will actually fit a full custom loop, or even has the option of fitting the blocks and tubing and running the lines out the back?

How difficult would it be to mod it to be so? *(i.e. would I just be making passthroughs, or would I be having to widen the case if I wanted to fit the tubing where it needed to go?)

Accepted Answer

I personally would not go there after doing a build with this case. This is one of the most densely packed cases I have ever worked with - like ZERO room to do anything outside of the specs of the case. I would recommend the Silverstone NT06-PRO Low Profile CPU Cooler - it fits in the space well and provides a little overclocking headroom, but not much. Bottom line for me at least - great case for a small and powerful build, but you need to follow the instructions to the letter to get the most out of this design.

Question 3

Will the stock cooler that comes with a Ryzen 3 fit in here?

Accepted Answer

I can't find the dimensions of the Ryzen 3 stock cooler for some reason. That said, I've built 5 computers with this case so far, and every Intel stock cooler of generation 6 and 7 fit in it by a wide margin. Also, the Cooler Master GeminII M4 fits with about 25 millimeters to spare if I recall correctly.

My guess is that AMD's stock cooler will be plenty short to fit in here. The Ryzen 5/7 have a bigger cooler, and even that looks like it should fit.

Hope this helps.

Question 4

Can i fit a micro atx power supply into this case instead of an sfx power supply?

Accepted Answer

Probably not... certainly not without significant modifications. The SFX power supply is installed in a fitted cage which is then attached to the case at the front, exhaust pointing toward the right side of the case. I'm pretty sure MicroATX supplies are also too wide to sit in the same position in the case without interfering with the motherboard and/or the front USB and audio connects. It is a very tight fit in there, by design.

If the current 450w SFX supply isn't enough for you, Silverstone will have a 500w and a 600w out by the end of summer.

Question 5

Will this fit GV-N780OC-3GD?

Accepted Answer

Some case modding for clearance landing the card may be necessary.  I crammed an ASUS strix gtx 970 into mine. I had to clear about 3/16" slot the width of the card out of the front rim and move the power cord about 3/8" away from the card so the cooler and SLI interface would clear.

Question 6

How thick of a 2.5 Drive will fit in this case?  Specifically will a 15mm drive work?

Accepted Answer

The two 2.5" brackets located on top of the GPU bracket only fit 5mm 2.5" drives. The bracket located on top of the PSU, when used with an SFX/-L power supply can accommodate up to a 3.5" drive. Finally, the mount for slimline disc drive can accommodate 2.5" drives, including ones as thick as 15mm (I'm currently using a 15mm drive there, but cannot confirm any thicker).

Question 7

I am planning on putting a Gigabyte GTX 970 in this and I was wondering if there is any way I can fit a Corsair H60 in the case. Also what 120mm case fans works under the graphics card and should they be used as intake or exhaust? Should I try an H60 or just go with a Noctua NH-L9i? and put a 120mm case fan above it?

Accepted Answer

With the 970 there would be no way to fit a H60 in too. There are two 120mm intakes on the bottom of the case that are directly below the graphics card. That Gigabyte fan looks pretty fat so I'm not sure you would be able to squeeze in regular sized case fans below it. A low profile fan would possibly fit; I would recommend them being intake fans for positive air pressure. I have the L9i with stock fan and an IVB i5 with a 120 intake above it. Temps at load are low 50C.

Question 8

Does anyone know where to get a slim slot-load optical drive that works with this case?

Accepted Answer

DVD
SilverStone SOD02 is a slim type DVD combo optical drive

Blue Ray
SilverStone SOB02 is a slim type Blu-ray writer

Question 9

Does this product come with the silverstone magnetic 140mm fan filters? If so does it come with 3, for all 3 fan mounts?

Accepted Answer

No magnetic filters at all. Also if you notice the fan slots are 120mm. In case you messed that and you need sfx power supply. Just a heads up.

Question 10

so dose this case come with fans or no?

Accepted Answer

Nope. Doesn't come with fan filters either.
