Sliger SM580 - Full Build - 3 Slot GPU + 280mm AIO!

[@Critchie273]

I just finished my build in this case, and I am definitely saving this for when I decide to re-manage my cables. Love it, and thank you!

[@Subdubbin]

Thanks! I made another video specifically on cable management you should check out.

[@EPtothe3rd]

almost have the exact same parts list as you down to the fan grills im planning before i saw this vid. nice job man. you know what you're doing

[@Subdubbin]

Thank you! You won't be disappointed with your build.

[@badlilstang]

I have an NXXT H1.. looking to try something different so I have been looking at this case and the Ncase.. really having a hard time deciding. Plus other options out there as well..

[@Subdubbin]

I wish I never sold my SM580. It was pretty much the best case for high performance, high heat components. Having a 280mm AIO makes a big difference when compared to a 240mm AIO.

[@badlilstang]

@@Subdubbin I just ordered the SM580 in Slate Gray.. Love the look. Doing the new EK waterblock and using 4 X 140mm Noctua REdux fans.. Don't are about the LED stuff since no windows really. THe Redux fans are a nice complement to the case even though I am the only one that will see it lol. For me I like the sound of the older Noctua SSO bearings.. I have used hundreds of different fans over the last 23 years.. The original Noctua SSO bearing just sounds great to me. Love your setup. Sucks you sold it! lol

[@Specific2]

On the Sliger site, it is not recommended to use the X63 but it does not say it is incompatible. What was your experience? Did you come across any problems? Thank you.

[@dragonflame9615]

Dam now that was some expert level cable management I don't know how you fit all that under that front panel lol

[@Subdubbin]

It was a challenge! I made a video about the cable management in this case that you should check out.

So cool and relaxing, how did you hold the camera. I might record myself building my new machine.

[@Subdubbin]

I rigged up a mount to hold my phone on a tripod. I used a phone mount from my dashboard. Good luck!

[@Yattofskee]

how is cooling with the GPU and the glass side panel in front of it?

[@yukio32]

why not using the fans provided by NZXT?

[@jp99575w]

What I find interesting is that you modified your AIO with Corsair fans along with Commander pro & lighting module. Were the NZXT fans to large?

[@Subdubbin]

I went with Corsair fans for the RGB. That's the only reason 🙂

[@jp99575w]

Is that RTX 2070 quiet? Want to build one of these and aiming for quiet as possible.

[@danielmay9632]

Thinking about buying one. What PSUs would you recommend for it? Ive never looked into SFF psus so im kinda lost

[@hussainmahmoud7881]

Enjoyed the build video. Thinking to get the case when I move from. ATX to itx. With my. Next Gen build.

[@leephoenix4139]

Mine shipped with the power button connections unsoldered. Can you send me a picture of the color configuration of how it goes on the power switch. ? Thanks. I’m gonna try to solder them back to the base of the switch.

[@Subdubbin]

I don't have this case anymore! I would email Sliger and ask them. They have a good support team.

[@Kyss007]

is it really good to put the power cable next to the riser?

[@Subdubbin]

I thought about that being an issue. Potential signal interference. I never tried benchmarking it near the riser vs. away from the riser. It's probably fine. It's a shielded riser.

[@Kyss007]

@@Subdubbin do you maybe have the time to try it out. I'm really curious 😄

[@alanwakeman7154]

Does having the acrylic panel affect temps @Subdubbing ? Compared to if you had both vented.

[@Subdubbin]

A little bit, but not much since the airflow is coming from the bottom of the case.

[@Kizzster]

Great build!

[@jmalec]

did you use custom psu cables? if so, what are the lengths you used/recommend. I have basically all of the same parts in a nzxt h210i and am thinking about a new case with 3 slots for a possible upgrade from a 2080 super to a 3080.

[@Subdubbin]

I used the stock cables that came with the Corsair SF750 PSU. The Corsair Platinum SFX PSUs come with the sleeved cables you see here.

[@johnyez7115]

Did you have any trouble fitting the x63 in this case? People on reddit say that it's about half a mm too thick

[@Subdubbin]

I did not have a problem fitting it. Sliger specifically recommends this AIO for this case because of the radiator's rounded corners.

[@Subdubbin]

Oh, you are talking about the side panel clearance. The pump block sticks out like 1mm but it's not enough to make the acrylic side panel bow noticeably.

[@TheImambagus]

Maybe using vent cover can accommodate using x63, or not, I'm ordering this case with window panel on cpu side, is it wrong choice if I'm using x63 for may aio?

[@Specific2]

@@Subdubbin Could you post a photo on Imgur?

[@robinisathakur]

I found the PSU cables the most challenging part of putting this build together (I have the same PSU Case and mobo) and I noticed you skipped over that part ^_^* Took me ages and I felt like giving up trying to stop them falling into the bottom fans

[@Subdubbin]

I have a brief overview video on the cable management in this case that maybe would've helped. But I'm glad you conquered the challenge!

[@robinisathakur]

Subdubbin thanks so much, that’s really useful. I need to go back and clean up the cables at some point, it’s unfinished business lol

[@Subdubbin]

@@robinisathakur it's never really finished!

[@Traventine]

RGB fans are currently too much of a hassle for me with the nest of cables they leaves in their wake. Two minutes of this fourteen minute build is just taming the pile of wire, trying to tie it and bunch it and stuff it behind the front panel. Edit: You are really good at cable management BTW

[@Subdubbin]

RGB is definitely a pain. It's a fun challenge at the same time though. Thanks for the compliment!

[@sousintosh-tv]

I have the same motherboard. How do you have the command pro plugged in if you are already using the only USB 2.0 connection on the motherboard for the NZXT kraken cooler?

[@Subdubbin]

The Corsair Commander Pro has 2 USB 2.0 plugs (pass-throughs). I plugged the Kraken X63 into the Commander Pro.

[@sousintosh-tv]

@@Subdubbin Thank you for the reply! just ordered one. One more question, finished my build this weekend and put the psu fan facing the graphics card. Is there a reason you have yours facing that way as well? Ive seen a lot of builds online facing the other way towards the glass panel.

[@biggorilla1999]

John Sousa I think it’s done for the asthetic of not seeing the ugly grey Corsair fan. I have have this case with the dual vented sides, and I have my psu facing the vented panel so it has access to the fresh air. I’m sure it probably makes a negligible difference in psu temps, but it’s still something. I’m thinking of taking apart the psu just to paint the damn grey fan

[@warrenbriones]

hi! where did you buy those black fan grills? what brand?

[@Subdubbin]

They are Apevia brand, from Amazon.

[@exmeh4102]

What are the temps for your nvme behind the board? I will have a ryzen board from ASRock and worry about the drive overheating.

[@Subdubbin]

I actually haven't checked the drive temperatures.

[@Kyss007]

trhillseeker vibes

[@DoshiMan]

So 2 m.2 nvme ssds and 1 sata ssd? What's your total storage? Also temps? Good job btw! 👍🏻

[@Subdubbin]

Yup, two 500 GB M.2 SSD's, and a 1 TB SATA SSD. 2 TB total. CPU doesn't go above 73° C and GPU doesn't go above 65° C. This case moves air very nicely.

[@Subdubbin]

I'm going to add this information to the description. Thanks for asking!

[@Nabobalis]

@@Subdubbin What are the GPU temps if you turn off the two fans at the bottom? I plan a build in this case but want to put two drives at the bottom but I would like to know how that changes the GPU temps.

[@MarkGomesdotin]

11:25 The struggle is Real :)

[@bencis1892]

Buenas características de la motherboard y SSD para que uses ese case? Todo estaba bien hasta que mostraste ese case, lo arruinaste.

[@motivomax]

Great build, ahha i built exactly the same 2 months ago

[@x111-c4f]

good build but you could have put the same hardware in smaller case !! for me anything over 7.2L is huge !!

[@Subdubbin]

I chose this case for the triple slot GPU support. The 280mm AIO support is a nice bonus. Which case do you have? I have an Ncase M1 arriving soon which also supports triple slot GPU's. Build video on that coming up!

[@MorkaiAU]

*cries in 34L ITX case*

[@gamerdaddy2570]

Still too big for SFF casr

[@tiptopflipflop7991]

Lesson learned, no rgb for me in this case...
