Cougar QBX Ultra Compact Gaming Case Mini-ITX

Product Information

Note: just before finishing the case build, I decided to turn the radiator fan around so it was pointing onto the motherboard. In Win, for example, has been around since the mid-1980s, and its D-Frame Mini, while uniquely pleasing, is pretty large for a case that supports only mini-ITX motherboards.

I was discouraged by some opinions that saying I will be unlikely to be able to fit the NH-C14S without involving some mods. They get the job done, but they’re not as quiet or powerful as aftermarket coolers like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, and I like to have the option to overclock while keeping my CPU cool. My user wanted a smaller form factor, and plays their games with a headset, so the louder graphics card fan noise when at full throttle was acceptable to them.I have had stability issues where the motherboard regulators get very toasty so this is a bonus of having the cooler facing down onto the motherboard like its previous Noctua Fansink was doing. On the more expensive end, the high end Silverstone and Lian Li cases have some of the best build quality I've seen. I was afraid this approach might increase the temps of my motherboard and VRMs, but the fan installed in the top blowing out of the case seemed to draw cooler air from the front/back while buffering the hotter air from the radiator up and out. Nobody likes those situations in which you need to uninstall a game to be able to install another one.

Throughout building I constantly thought about the quality and intuitiveness that went into building the QBX. he visto reviews donde se quejan de las temperaturas, yo la verdad no he tenido problemas, vivo en un lugar muy calido de México pero la tengo en el cuarto con aire, solo tiene el exhaust fan que ya trae incluido, y con las perforaciones que tiene tipo malla, con eso ha bastado. From top to bottom, there's a power button with an integrated LED, a drive-activity LED, two blue color-coded USB 3. Otherwise the cables needed to power the drives and fans that may be installed on this tray may create a little bit of a mess.For example, they say it's the perfect size, makes a lot more room on their desk, and has a good layout for a decent sized GPU. The company's roots were planted in 2007, the same year Apple released its original iPhone model, so it entered the DIY scene just as the mobile movement was getting ready to explode. inch solid-state drives (SSDs) or hard drives at the same time, as well as a 120mm liquid cooler, all suspended in air. I can't honestly bring myself to downgrade this to four stars simply because it did not meet my expectations in certain areas, but I will say that as of right now it is simply sitting at 4. What ATX cases in todays market has pretty good cable management and well recognized by PC enthusiasts?

I was so grateful I stayed with my current MSI motherboard, otherwise if I choose to use the Asrock board instead I will most probably fk'dup.The RAM blocks easy access to the SATA and motherboard power ports, however, so I plugged those in first before slotting in the RAM. I couldn't bring myself to keep it on the floor, honestly there is no reason to with how small the footprint of it is.

Besides as you pointed out, it is still an option for the builder who wants to invest that extra scratch. The trick is to plug the extension cord into the PSU before sliding the PSU into place inside the case. making it one of the most affordable SFF cases with full-length video card support, and, really, inexpensive for a case of any size.The QBX really is a great little case, with room for an incredible range of components, including multiple 120mm fans, liquid cooling, and a full-size graphics card. Initially I plan to upgrade to Asrock Phantom Gaming Z390 ITX/ac also to future proofing, but found that there is someone have problem with the NH-C14S on old motherboard inside QBX, and it makes the guy cut the heatsink to fit in there. The components easily fit inside the QBX and the modular cables help with the limited space, but the stiff ATX cable could not be easily routed behind the motherboard tray. The base of the chassis is really sturdy and has two full-length feet with rubber grips, giving the QBX great balance.
