Probably The Best Half-Sandwich ITX Case - COOJ MQ5

[@gamersruin]

I think you've redefined what perfect custom cables look like.

Subbed, no commentary and straight to the point. I love the camera angles too.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thank you.

[@salalkhairaat8156]

i dont understand why people say sff build is hard to do. look at this video, is so easy, only took under 5 minute to build

[@sayphy4428]

Consider additional time for cable customization, and also components selection/hunting that fit in the case.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Actually it took 5 mins to "assemble" and 50 hrs to "build".

What cables?

[@dominicferreira9900]

Wow, these builds are definitely top quality. Great components , space optimization to the max, great aesthetics, outstanding audio and video editing. Glad to see such care put into a video and build. Keep up the great work!

[@Revenant_Knight]

Revenant from Small Form Factor Network here. Absolutely awesome build! I'm putting your video on our front page.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thank you so much for that.

[@Helixan]

Incredible! How long did it take you to make those cables and how did you measure each individual wire? Looks very time consuming but an incredible build.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thank you. Maybe 8 hrs for 24pin. Hard to tell in words how I did measurement, probably next time in another tutorial video.

Very understated and classy. Really enjoyed how clean the build was!

You already earned your like for not saying a word in the entire video. I'm so tired of hearing a monologue from a monotonic nerd that I feel like I've reached a safe haven finding your video.

That 24 pin cable is awsome.

There is more love in this video than in any cinema blockbuster ❤

Beautiful. It looks great and it's so compact, love how all fits perfectly on the case, well done

[@Cary_mac]

You my friend are fantastic. Thank you for inspiring us.

[@lewarryldong]

omg a fully sff channel other than optimum tech, cant wait for more!

[@greenprotag]

The fitment is EXCELLENT. Possibly one of the best looking flex ATX-ITX builds I have seen. I have built in the K39 and the MetalfishS3 and this case is gorgeous. My only concern with this case vs others is the PSU placement, but in general it looks functionally great. How are temperatures on the 10600k on the L9i chromax? I think the 12400 works on the L9i 17xx idk about the 13400. I personally have a 5600x on the L9a and it's fine at stock.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thank you. L9i can handle stock 10600k, but I limited power consumption to 95W to keep temp under 80C.

[@bladeoflucatiel]

I have a 5600 on a metalfish S3 with noctua L9a, it reaches 85C at max speed max load. A few degrees less than my 2600x.

[@AnonymousUser-vr7cs]

This ITX build is definitely a step up from the usual stuff I've seen lately. It's pretty impressive. Any chance you're planning a video on the top ITX cases for 2024/25? Be interested to see your picks.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thanks. I do, just don't know when.

[@Mellysia]

That was amazing. I've been looking for a true SFF case that wouldn't be a chore to work with and I think your video solved that issue for me.

Another item of note is that COOJ has had a lot of factory problems yet went close to a year before communicating with people that already bought their products. I would say BUYER BEWARE for sure!

@@sayphy4428 correct.

[@DD_hnp]

Hello, I was wondering if you could share the cable lengths you used? I'm looking to do a custom order to have shorter cables - would you mind sharing the cable length for motherboard, GPU, and CPU?

[@RelaxingSFF]

Sorry, I don't have the exact numbers. Basically you can use this guide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n17bnGtsfsqVmdEsi=J5GcmrpKeNgAAqiR I don't think you can order these custom cables because each individual wire has different length.

[@patrickbateman3610]

This guy doesn't fuck around when it comes to cable management.

[@thatguyjaykay]

This is amazing. I love the aesthetic of SFF cases. I want my next build to be SFF, but also want to somehow fit a 4090. Been trying to find that perfect case that's all aluminum, small, and sleek looking, but that can also accommodate a 4090 lol.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thanks. I think formd t1 is what you need.

[@Dominicwylai]

I'm sure you know this already, but there is a decently sized 4090 that comes with an AIO radiator which could work well in an SFF case.

I looked up this case because it’s beautiful, but why do they use that psu whose metal cover chokes the hell out of it? The creality ender 3 has the same problem. I had to cut out a big hole to uncover the vents.

[@RelaxingSFF]

Probably to block hot air directly exhausted from gpu. I reversed psu fan and partially blocked vent (like enp-7660b) instead of using that cover.

[@Bunta1987qwerty]

@@RelaxingSFF the air coming out of a gpu isn’t as hot as the components in the psu when they’re at load, so even that air would help cool them.

[@markdavies981]

Love this video. This is a really nice build. I like the look of the COOJ cases, they have a premium look. I've been considering the COOJ MQ4. My only concern is the PSU placement. There appears to be restricted airflow where the PSU fan is located. I was wondering if you have experienced loud PSU fan noise under load?

[@RelaxingSFF]

Thank you. I reversed psu fan direction. It took now fresh air from outside bottom and dump hot air into the case. Under load cpu and gpu fans are much louder.

[@TSUNAMI17]

I honestly did not know you could do that on the wifi card of the motherboard. Thanks!

[@naflenmowen5316]

Beautiful build

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

The only thing I would change about this case (if I were the designer) is I would widen it by 1 cm, move the power supply at the bottom, and in the middle between CPU & GPU chamber I would add a small area that would allow to place front USB / USB C / Audio panel in the front middle of the case, and above that you would have an option to mount hot-swap SSD, a slid for a slot-loading optical drive, SD card reader or nothing (but instead you could mount an additional internal 2.5 SSD drive. Either way - it is probably still an ideal ITX case. It is a shame that it is hard to find good, modular PSUs with this standard though.
