LOUQE Ghost S1 Mk III (Limestone) Mini-ITX Computer Case

Product Information

For any guide in our Mini ITX series, there is really only one SFX power supply for any SFF build in 2020 we recommend – the Corsair SF750.

I can replace my CPU with a new intel version, however i would need a new motherboard, since intel doesnt support the old motherboards with new CPU. Was thinking to buy the i5 12400 or 12600 non-K version with the new Asus ROG Strix B660-I Board with DDR5 RAM. Yes I know, the good old Noctua Ghost S1 Cooler will not fit, so I am hoping to cool it with the Noctua NH-L9i as its also not the K version. Could go the route with a small Tophat to put two more Noctua exhaust fans in the case, if temperatures do get problematic. I can also upgrade my CPU to a Core-i9, however, with Core-i9 in mind i would need a tophat for ghost s1 and a liquid cooler.Because of this, I would actually say the Raw S1 is perfect – because it does a 100% job at achieving what the designers set out to achieve: a simple, easy-to-work-on minimalist system that looks the part and cools well.

For the GPU I am considering the Gigabyte RTX 3060 ti Eagle OC 8 GB rev. 2 model, which is only 2 Slot and a compact size for such a powerful card. Does anyone have experience with that card or even better, knows if this card will fit? Improved features: MkIII cases come with a new ultra smooth surface treatment, redesigned blade and grill, and with our next-generation COBALT Gen4+ PCI-e 4.0 16x twin axial 260mm vertical mount riser cable. There are a few great CPU coolers for the Ghost S1 that we would recommend – with the first being the Scythe Big Shuriken 2 – a popular option for many Ghost S1 builders. Secondly, and the one we would recommend over any other air cooler is the Noctua NH-L12 – the most popular and superior CPU cooler for the Ghost S1. Despite Gaming being my first priority I do not need crazy good hardware. I play mostly games like Overwatch, LoL, Battlerite, Diablo, some CoD...With a lot of PC builders posting benchmarks and thermal stats of their Ghost S1 builds – we are beginning to see exactly which components perform best in this SFF enclosure – such as the best performing CPU cooler, case fans and power supplies being the most important to get right – if you want to get the absolute most performance out of your Ghost S1 build.

New Founders edition cards have new cooling method wich is unideal for sandwich layout cases, this means that the founders edition card is of the charts. I would prefer to have the case air cooled, so not planning to put an AIO watercooler with the large tophat. Tophat L có thể gắn được aio 240 hoặc custom tuy nhiên cần cân nhắc vì sẽ khiến thể tích case to lên đáng kể. Airflow in focus: Cooling air is pulled in by each heat generating component and directed upwards through the top. For most of the installation, this has been the easiest case I’ve ever worked on. It certainly was everything it was advertised to be. The ability to remove the sides and bottom, and installing everything directly to the spine, made component placement and cable management very straightforward. The case didn’t come with a manual, which wouldn’t be a problem since most of the assembly is pretty straight forward. Unfortunately, they didn’t label the case power and LED connectors, so I did have to look up and pinch around in the manual from my phone. The only other difficultly was the radiator.Is it perfect? From one point of view, no. It doesn’t have air filtration. There’s no real front IO, and no room for expansion. But none of that is what the Louqe Raw S1 is about. Extra fans, filtration, and expansion space would make the chassis bigger and more complex, entirely defeating the point.
