SG10

3.5” hard drives are cooled by the top 180mm fan.
We recommend using SSD for 2.5” drives as they are more heat tolerant.

The total volume of all possible installed fans adds up to 2.4 liters, which is more than the volume of two 5.25” drives. Since optical drives have the lowest effect on performance, we reasoned that the use of slim optical drive is the best way to reduce the size of SG10.

The top 180mm fan will help to expel power supply’s exhausted air out of the case. According to our testing, the PSU heat will not affect case performance.

Since there are no standards for power supply’s power cord connector location, we provide extra length to ensure compatibility. The SG10 is also designed to accommodate power supply up to 1200W so we used a thicker 15A cable.

By installing the PSU horizontally, it will take up less depth compared to installing it longitudinally. With traditional PSU installation, the power cord will occupy space behind the case therefore the area taken by the power cord is not part of the case measurement.

Most should fit in this area (rear 120mm fan).

If your PSU has an AC switch, make sure the switch is at the “ON” position.

SG10 has four fan slots dedicated for graphic cards and provide top-notch cooling ability. If you have installed all extra fans according to our instruction manual and the graphic card still overheats, please contact the graphics card manufacturer for assistance.

The SG10 has 6 fan slots and if you include the fan on the CPU cooler, there are up to 7 fan connectors in total. Currently, there are no motherboards that support this amount of fans, therefore we have included a 1 to 3 fan adapter cable to support more fan connections. Although you can not monitor the fans through your motherboard when connected to the adapter, this is the best way to connect all the fans. Below is a list of Micro-ATX motherboards that has the most fan connectors: 6 Fan connectors: DFI Lanparty JR Series, ASRock X79 Extreme4-M 5 Fan connectors: ASUS ROG Gene Series

Yes it does, with room to spare!

From the tests we’ve conducted during development, a quality tower-style cooler can be used without CPU fan and instead rely only on chassis fans to cool CPU up to 130W TDP (Core i7, not overclocked). However, performance may vary depending on the quality of your CPU cooler and other factors, so you will still need to test the limit on your own.
