Vik Sep : Such a good and honest review.

Disappointing to see that they didn't follow with the success of the SG13.

Thanks Ali as always
wer dfeefs : Hi Ali (et al), I'm a huge fan of your work!

I'm a SFF enthusiast, running a Dr. Zaber Sentry 1.1 - one of 12 which was customized as a 'thank you' for fans who helped a lot on the forums as the case was under design.

Because of that, obviously, I don't want to build my next computer in a different case, but I'm well overdue for an upgrade - my GPU died some months ago and I've been using my old GTX 670 and getting random crashes.

My problem is that this case has very tightly limited space, so the GPU has to fit within certain dimensions: 305mm x 140mm x 47mm.
(That's length, then height, then thickness, with the thickness being measured from the back of the PCB to the bottom of the cooler.)

I'm trying to do a mod which involves removing both the fans and the plastic shroud from the GPU, so that it fits in the case, and using six Noctua 40mm fans to exhaust air from the edge of the heatsink - what would be facing the case panel in a normal ATX case.

In order to determine what RTX 3080 to buy (you know, once buying one is possible), I need to know the dimensions of the card as measured without the shroud and fans.

This information would be very useful for other small form factor enthusiasts as well - especially people with the Ncase M1, where deshrouding the GPU and using 120mm intakes on the bottom of the case is an extremely common move.

Unfortunately, after calling the companies in the US, the only third party GPU manufacturers willing to give me the information were Zotac and PNY, and neither had a card on hand to measure. MSI was downright insulting when I asked, and Asus escalated me to their executive contact before telling me that a measurement that could be taken by any bloke with calipers was restricted information available only to internal engineers.

So... Will you guys please be my bloke with calipers? I can't afford to buy every 3rd party rtx 3080 and return all the ones that don't fit.

I would really, really appreciate a spreadsheet on the 3080s you guys are sent, showing their dimensions without the fans or plastic shrouds on them. Without this information, I have no idea which 3080 to buy - the as-yet unreleased Aorus Xtreme looks close to perfect, but without knowing the actual dimensions...

I don't know if this content is engaging enough for you to make a video out of, since it's very niche within the niche of SFF, and I don't know if getting those measurements is so much of a time sink that it's simply not worth it, but I do know that you have a lifetime fan who would really, really appreciate it if you guys were willing to take the time to measure the heatsink dimensions of the RTX 3980s that come through your studio, so I'm able to know which card I'm actually able to purchase. (Though I'll be honest, I've soured to Asus and MSI now...)

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
kpadlard : Thanks for the honest, “no holding back” review.
Teodor Zhechev : As always, a huge thanks for making this! Negative reviews are as important as positive ones, even if they're harder to do.
SilverStone Technology : Thanks Ali for the quick reviews on our new SUGO cases! Unfortunately the SUGO 15 we sent was an early pilot run sample, it has blemishes on it that will not be on mass production units. We apologize for not communicating this more clearly with him (we quoted MSRP at $179 btw). Our design goal for these cases were to create SFF cases that have the most flexibility in component accommodation while offering good performance. Enticing more people to try out SFF with as little limitation as possible. We think this goal was achieved in spades by our engineers so that 5.25" drive, liquid coolers, large air coolers, and ATX PSUs are all possible in a 20 liter case. They are not meant to duplicate or compete directly with the awesome boutique cases that already exist on the market, which we wholeheartedly support with plethora of SFX PSU options and SFF accessories.

SilverStone SUGO 14 (SG14) Mini-ITX PC Case Review - The Big Name is Back in the Game!

I'm excited to present the very first English-language review of the long-awaited SilverStone SG14 Mini-ITX Chassis, which was revealed at CES 2020 and launched in September 2020. SilverStone is one of the true pioneers in the Small Form Factor market, and with the SG14, they have returned to form, looking to take back some of the market share that newer competitors have picked up over the past few years. By the way, SilverStone wants you to call this the SUGO 14, but I'll just stick to SG14!

Here's the link to the SG14 on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2FTzlUe
The initial production run sold out within 24 hours, but it will be restocking by the end of September!
Some stock may be available at Aerocooler, another SilverStone dealer: https://aerocooler.com/silverstone-sst-sg14b-mini-itx-configurable-front-panel-cube-chasis/

CushyBlanket : Great review! I’m also curious as to how well an NH-D15S would fit in there and if it would interfere with other fan slots. Looking at Silverstone’s site it seems theres one more orientation you can test, which is the gpu intaking from the top. Basically flipped 90 degrees in the opposite direction. If you ever cover this case again for cooler compatibility it would be nice to see the GPU-on-top config tested as well.

Keep up the good work!
Jim Ou : I would guess CPU temp will be great by using large tower cooler, but I don't see VRM getting any air flow. So using top to bottom cooler like noctua c14 will be great balance between CPU temp and vrm temp.
Jason Wiese : You should test this versus the Cooler Master NR200P which it is competing directly against price wise and versatility wise.
JPNania : Great overview! I personally bought the case as there was no pre-order for the nr200 in Japan and I'm generally pleased with the performance and cooling (nh-12a,1080ti) but the things that have me straying away from this case as my main rig is the poor cable management capabilities. I didn't like wrapping my cables around the metal bit close to where you plug in the front headers and sata, it felt cramped and when guiding it towards the graphics card it didn't allow the card to sit well in the pci-e slot. I'll still keep the case and turn it into a NAS/media center or something in the far future but I wasnt too enthralled with the building process.
Bitupon Bora : Great review as always. Would have loved if silverstone went the smaller case path like Ghost S1 or Formd T1 though.

SG14のパーツ組み込みと注意喚起【SUGO14】

SG14って言ってるけど、商品名的にはSUGO14ですよ。型番はSG14。

まあ残念です。でも、GIGABYTEのB550Iは明らかにCPUの位置が上すぎるので、他のマザーでは全然問題ない説はあります。銀石さんには提供してもらってるっていうのもありますけど、GIGABYTEが悪いと思うんですよね。とはいえ、マザボの上側のスペースがカツカツなケースであることに変わりはありません。20L以内にどうしても収めたかったんだと思いますけども。

一応Amazonリンク貼っておきます。

クチビルに化けていた魔物 : NH-U12Aならブラケットに干渉せず5インチベイが使えるのでは？
冷却性能は落ちますけどかなり優秀な空冷クーラーですよ
K M : CPUの位置ってグラボによって違うのかぁと思ってみていました。
いやぁ、考えたこともなかったですね。
動画内でもおっしゃっているように、小型ケースの5インチベイは非常に貴重なので（最近ではそもそも貴重？）購入を検討していたのですけれど。。。
徐晨倚 : 3080は使ってるケースにねじ固定できないからケース交換迷ってる僕からすればsg14はかなりいいケースと思えました。あとsilverstoneのあの電源と同じ設計といわれるCS７００を昔使ってたけど爆音すぎて半年で売りましたｗｗｗ
ロマンの挑戦状 : DVDドライブ素敵ですね
uma- aji : 提供でここまでdisってるの初めて見た
