Just finished building a PS4 replacement for a friend in this case. cable management is a pain, but it was well worth it. If you get the mesh front, you can even paint it and it'll look awesome.
I know its a 3 year old post I am posting for future reference. The mesh is already small enough to choke airflow you can see in a gamers nexus video. When you paint it it reduces the airflow even further. Increasing system heat
Used this case for my SO's rig and I can't recommend it enough. Aside from the lack of filters (which I don't mind since I love taking computers apart), the case is great! The HDD I installed does vibrate (minor but noticeable) so you might want to consider adding something like rubber rings to reduce vibrations or to just use SSD based storage instead.
I think the lack of fan filters is to incentivize you to buy the plethora of various sized fan filters silverstone sells. They even sell a nice big vent sized one that is suspiciously sized to fit over this exact GPU intake area or at least pretty darn close.
its march of 2020 and i just built 2 PC"S using this case all AMD Ryzen 3900x with a 5700xt and the second 1 is for my daughter with a Ryzen 2600x and a vega 56 and damn these little cases are awesome. i also picked up a pelican storage case and made a travel case for these little guys for Dreamhack in november.
I love my Silverstone Sugo SG08-lite, best mini itx case so far, AIO support 120/140mm, full size atx psu and sfx, full size gfx card , NO PLASTIC here!! The case is made out of steel and brushed aluminum.. The front face plate is a 10mm thick chunk of aluminum. and all this in a case smaller than a shoe box .. It's an elegant case ..
O M G bro! I feel like I need to give you the hardest slap in the world! You're killing me with these comments you're making about airflow and dust and intakes. Holy crap, dude. First off, you were COMPLETELY wrong about that front paneling being the exhaust, because what you're actually doing is sucking in the air from the non-filtered regions of the case, then PREVENTING the dust from LEAVING the computer by exhausting it through the FILTER!!! Secondly, you already have a primary exhaust system setup with that CPU Cooler underneath the PSU Cooler, which are both primary exhaust systems that are proven to work very efficiently, even in a barebones environment. Third, if setup properly (and if kept off of the ground, which a small ass thing such as this should be no problem), your main intake should be from the Dust Filter, then your primary exhaust should be the CPU-PSU combo deal. There should be no other fans as intakes or exhausts, even if you can fit something as small as an 80mm or a 40mm, due to the probably that it'll throw off the airflow pressurization and cause an improper airflow in such a small casing. The extra holes, at this point, would primarily act as a depressurization when a lack of intake airflow is added - allowing people the option not to add intake fans, if the budget doesn't allow for it, or if the preference is simply there (as in, the alternative, optional front paneling would be used in this preference). I hope that you see this comment and see what it is that I am talking about. Heck, give it a shot for yourself and see my point!
I made PC in other way as on movie. Front Fan is Intake, My PSU is Turner 180 degrees and PSU draws Hot air from CPU out of case...I had low profile Noctua CPU and temperatures at stress are 72 degrees of GPU(RX580 OC Nitro+) and max 60 degrees of i5 9400f. I think thats good conditions at tha small case.
+Valkyrie I've been using Harry's razors for about a year now, it has a pretty close shave and feels better than DSC's razors. I'd say go with Harry's as their blades are German made and not Chinese.. 5 blades that last longer than a few shaves, I stretched them out for a month per blade.
+Bill Boger My boyfriend has said that DSC's razors are much easier to clean out though. And even though they're not perfect with Harry's they are pretty close. Also I know he LOVES the trimmer on the back of DSC's executive. And the shave butter for DSC was a bit better than that of Harry's. (I can agree to that since I use it for my legs)
If you have a SFX PSU and a SG13; protip, you can put a 92mm nochtua as an exhaust on the side panel (opposite to the GPU) fits there naturally (can use mounting tape if worried). Also a MSI GTX1080 Gaming X fits if you grind the front GPU opening to be a slot, case is still solid because of the HDD bracket and the modification is hidden by the front grill
Recommend making an annotation on the reset button, it exists but is the little intruded hole next to the power button (should have caught that in the build process). Also if you're using a 120mm AiO cooler on the front for the cpu (which i highly highly recommend doing) its best to use the psu flipped around to reduce the amount of positive pressure in the case, since this chassis can get very hot with positive pressure (also gives some air flow to the mobo's vrm and back of graphics card pcb, which can get hot even with a backplate in this case). Just realize that the size of the case requires a lot more thinking since you'll have to plan the air flow and do testing in 11.5L, especially if you're ballsy and stick an overclocked titan x and 4790k in this little guy. My favorite retail case design though, especially at the price. I do recommend using blower style coolers though, i originally used the acx cooler for my titan x and the positive pressure make the whole chassis equalize at 56C, including the power supply.
Just have the PSU intake pointing down towards the cpu cooler and use a low profile air cooler firing upward into it, making the PSU double as an exhaust. Yes the air will be warmer but it's not going to fry your PSU, plus it means you wont pull dust in through the top vent. The front should be used as the main intake because it has a dust filter.
+David Palmer Dang! I wish I could come up with a build like that but its kinda hard without a job! It took me 3 years to save up for my rig with an i5 4460 and a 750ti. Lol
if you cut a box on the top and drill a couple of holes, you can put a 240mm rad ontop of the case. what i did to get an h50 on my 4790k, and an h105 on my titan x to fit in this case. Just make sure you dont force the rad to breath into the case, gotta use negative pressure in that setup to prevent your vrm from reaching 100C
Good review. I'm guessing that silverstone wanted users to use the front fans as intake fans. Making it a positive pressure system, thus reducing the need to have dust filters everywhere. I do realize that exhaust fan is better for temperature, and if you install a radiator, it will probably have to be an exhaust fan as well.
You know I definitely fell a lot more in love with you and all your work considering I was JUST drooling over this case last night and exhausted all the reviews for it. Keep it up man !
all mini itx cases 20L and under need temperature performance review too. sure it looks nice, but i need to know if its a hot box that have no airflow.
I have this case, love the build and style but sometimes it overheats (my front fan is broken). Need to replace it otherwise, I took the top case off to combat high temperatures. It dropped over 15 degrees!
I've built three systems in this case. With its small form factor, hardware compatibility, price, and alright temperature under load, it is one great tiny case. I wouldn't expect fan filter everywhere with this $50 case, many Lian Li cases don't have filters either. And you can always add some magnetic filters inside.
they are also more than twice the cost of sg13. when the case is this tiny, aluminum doesn't have much advantage over steel chassis other than a slightly better aesthetics. SG13 is a great budget option for a tiny build with overall good compatibility, thats all
Node 304 is $90 on newegg, sg13 mesh ver is $40 on amazon. node 304 is a good case, it holds many more drives than sg13, but also it is almost twice in volume, it weighs twice. you get what you paid for.
PSU should be installed opposite way so it can be used as exhaust. The way it is installed in the video CPU temperature will be much higher. I have the same case and it needs exhaust.
I had to return my SG13. Quality control was awful. Front io wires had all come come loose in shipping. Got the Coolermaster elite 130 instead. Slightly bigger, but not a particularly bad thing.
Mini ITX is a pain. A 240mm rad or large air tower won't fit, so in my experience, overclocking reaches 70s-80s easily, so stock clocks, or the boost speed, at most is what you'll get. You don't want to pump heat into the case, so parts selection is critical. When using a high TDP card, a blower design is a must. And cable management is a pain. That being said, if you don't need the extreme performance of an overclocked CPU and non-reference GPU or SLI, ITX is amazing. I'll put my 4790k/980ti ITX build against a console any day.
wa? front should b intake man. I think I makes more sense sides exhust and front intake and PSU down to draw heat away from CPU and Momo and exhust out back of PSU
Cool build. Thinking of doing a micro build myself next year. Good to know there are super cheap case options. Really like your videos man. Very detailed and well edited. Keep them coming!
I really love these tiny cases. But I'd like to see one a bit larger so I could fit both a cpu and a gpu aio cooler in the system. That to me would be the perfect mini case.
I have a 120mm liquid cooler, but I like the aesthetic of the brushed steel front panel more than the mesh version. How much would that impact airflow? Seeing how there would still be the air vents on the side of the front panel.
SG05/06 redux. They missed a chance to really upgrade the chassis. Shame. If you set the front fan to intake and invert the PSU to exhaust you get great airflow. It doesn't really compete with the CPU fan as most SG05 owners can attest to.
Just a thought: is it not possible to make your own dust filter for the ventilation bits? For example, get some mosquito netting and either straight up glue it over the vents or make your own bracket out of plastic, glue and magnets? Might be a bit too ghetto for most people but I doubt it will be that expensive or hard to do. What do people think of this?
Oh come on people still fall for the cartridge razors? I'm using DE razor blades, its REALLY cheap and just as good. Also, shaving soap with a shaving brush lasts longer and has no irritating ingredients such as alcohol.
Looks pretty good in terms of compatilibity and air flow. Though the case looks very dull and unattractive imo. Make it look better, maybe add some color options. Also dustfilters to every intake and we have a great closure which I would highly consider buying. As it is now not so much. :>
there are many "Dust Filters" you can buy for this case , magnetic dust filters in all sizes , just google search them :) , come in all sizes , DEMCiflex is one brand & come in all sizes , 80mm ,120mm, ,140mm ,2 x 40mm ,www.overclockers.co.uk/demciflex-dust-filter-2x40mm-square-black-white-cm-001-df.html , no screws needed ,No Tools and No Hassles & yes they do work on this case , I Tried a magnetic dust filter that comes with Phantek's evo case.
I'm looking to downsize from a mid tower to an ITX box and am struggling to choose a case. I love the look of the SG13 but sadly size matters and my GPU is 11inches long so atm I think I'll go with the Node 202
The GPU shouldn't need a dust filter, unless you have an exhaust blower type cooler on it, since that's blowing out. It would just trap dust inside the case.... The PSU vent could do with one though, as its an inlet.
That build is sick! This is a pretty little (literally) nifty case! I actually might consider getting one for my new PC! Because all of my friends make fun of PCs because the huge case. (They're console peasants) Haha
+Houdinii1212 you can buy dust filters for it for not to much more expense, the hardest thing is getting cables short enough so they don't fill up the space inside really
+WayStedYou that's where custom cables come into play (you could probs mod a small window on there too just to show off the build as well if you make it sexy xD
Please add a video for the Liquid cooling system. I bought this case to build AMD Ryzen 2400G PC, here in India (Kerala) SFX PSU are rare and overpriced on many online stores. AMD stock cooler height is around 50mm and maximum fan height is 61mm. So please add a video with Liquid cooling
What was the new cpu cooler clearance when you used the SFX-L PSU? it can't be the full 24.5 mm difference. with the adapter bracket what did that put the distance at?
Yes, no problem. It is recommended to install it as exhaust for the computer (take air from the computer, and push it outside the case. As there is no other exhaust in the computer unless you find space for another fan, which you won't with full PSU size.
hey Dmitri! I just built in this case and I used an i3 6100. however, it's reaching temps of 85C while gaming. I am using the Noctua low profile cooler. any tips?
I know I am late,but that commercial "have no fear harry's here" reminds me of max payne in the last chapter when vlad said "have no fear!vlad is here!" any body?
Still haven't gotten around to moving my system from the CM 130 Elite to the SG13 yet (probably at xmas knowing me!), got magnetic filter covers for the CM 130 that i can just move across so no worries there. :)
+Khoi D. Tran I just fancied an even smaller case. :) The CM 130 is perfectly fine for the job, mine is an intel i5 4690 air cooled with Noctua 120mm intake and Noctua NH-L9i cpu cooler with XFX psu along with a MSI 750ti gpu: dont bother with the additional 80mm side fan that comes with it (a pointless addition really). If i did it again i would use a modular psu to avoid the tangle of unused cables. Hope that helps. :)
+demos113 great info, I'm going for the 750 ti too but mine is way more budget build coz I'm going for AMD x40 860k or i3 4170 only. One more favor, can I have recommendation for the mobo that u use for you i5? Thanks !
+Khoi D. Tran I have an Elite 130 aswell and it is a pretty good case. A few problems with vibrations from my stock i5 cooler, making the case louder then it could be, but you can handle it somehow by modify a few spots. All in all im pretty pleased with it, having a R9 280, 3 SSDs and a Harddrive in it.
Khoi D. Tran I used an Asus H97I-PLUS, there are probably newer and more up to date boards and cpus as that was 18 months ago. Make sure your motherboard is compatible with your cpu whatever your choice is. :)
Silverstone states max PSU lenght supported is 150mm, but there is clearly quite a lot of extra space there with a 140mm PSU. Why would that be? it seems itcould easily take a say 160mm PSU, and still install an AIO in the front, or are looks deceiving?
I don't understand in this day and age why people don't think to use a good 2.5" hdd in small form factor cases. You can get good 7200rpm drives like the WD Blacks. I know you can't get mega terabyte 2.5" drives YET but if more people would start buying 2.5" 7200rpm drives then bigger ones would come. If ssd's drop much more in price over the next year as expected then this won't even be a point. But for now, think 2.5" hdd's people.
CORRECTION: There is a reset button beside the power switch. It is accessed via a needle.
+HardwareCanucks Thats a poor design decision by Silverstone
+HardwareCanucks Who needs a reset button anyway? I mean, what can it do that a power button can't? I don't get it.
+Skeletor Jopko it has the same effect as pulling out the power cable. Sometimes your PC can freeze and you need to pull the power.
forid200 You can do that with the power button. So why do you need a reset button?
***** That's the best use I've heard for a reset switch yet!
Just finished building a PS4 replacement for a friend in this case. cable management is a pain, but it was well worth it. If you get the mesh front, you can even paint it and it'll look awesome.

dont forget to dump that PS- oh.. just kidding... please store that PS4. please.

I think the lack of fan filters is to incentivize you to buy the plethora of various sized fan filters silverstone sells. They even sell a nice big vent sized one that is suspiciously sized to fit over this exact GPU intake area or at least pretty darn close.
Or maybe use Front filter as intake. Case is obviously made for GPU to be used in blower style.
its march of 2020 and i just built 2 PC"S using this case all AMD Ryzen 3900x with a 5700xt and the second 1 is for my daughter with a Ryzen 2600x and a vega 56 and damn these little cases are awesome. i also picked up a pelican storage case and made a travel case for these little guys for Dreamhack in november.

*wants dust proof PC, uses only dust filter as exhaust.
True it sounds idiotic
Literally right after hes done complaining about the intended exhaust vents not having dust filters i cringed so hard
It's a pretty decent airflow design actually, when properly using the front panel as an intake.

If you have a SFX PSU and a SG13; protip, you can put a 92mm nochtua as an exhaust on the side panel (opposite to the GPU) fits there naturally (can use mounting tape if worried).

lian li though have at least a single problem wrong with each case. yes their cheaper itx rigs don't but they are made from all aluminium
they are also more than twice the cost of sg13. when the case is this tiny, aluminum doesn't have much advantage over steel chassis other than a slightly better aesthetics. SG13 is a great budget option for a tiny build with overall good compatibility, thats all

Yes, and that's why it's called SG13-Q, which is the one I'm using in my "soon to be" build for HTPC :D.

Harry... Hairy... Mary.... Merry.... IS IT CHRISTMAS??!
I think they recommend flipping the psu so it can suck air from the CPU
I really love these tiny cases. But I'd like to see one a bit larger so I could fit both a cpu and a gpu aio cooler in the system. That to me would be the perfect mini case.
I have a 120mm liquid cooler, but I like the aesthetic of the brushed steel front panel more than the mesh version. How much would that impact airflow? Seeing how there would still be the air vents on the side of the front panel.
How does something so small seem like it has so much room?
Haha great ad, I have an idea of one that would match your theme if you get another fan sponsorship from Josh!
SG05/06 redux. They missed a chance to really upgrade the chassis. Shame. If you set the front fan to intake and invert the PSU to exhaust you get great airflow. It doesn't really compete with the CPU fan as most SG05 owners can attest to.

putting a 6700k and a 960 in mine! asrock mobo and h60 lets goooo
get a 970 instead, the 960 would bottleneck your CPU therefore making your CPU worth less
+XxxHakerzzGamingxxX🎮 the 960 wouldn't bottleneck it, I don't think that word means what you think it means. The cpu is definitely overkill for a 960.
I'm looking to downsize from a mid tower to an ITX box and am struggling to choose a case. I love the look of the SG13 but sadly size matters and my GPU is 11inches long so atm I think I'll go with the Node 202
I thought this was a build log, not a case review xD
God this guy is smooth
Dmitri is definitely the most attractive techtuber
The GPU shouldn't need a dust filter, unless you have an exhaust blower type cooler on it, since that's blowing out. It would just trap dust inside the case.... The PSU vent could do with one though, as its an inlet.
I have it, I'm happy with it.
Wow, your advertisements are awesome.
That build is sick! This is a pretty little (literally) nifty case! I actually might consider getting one for my new PC! Because all of my friends make fun of PCs because the huge case. (They're console peasants) Haha
i loved building in this case!!!
That beginning got me XD
Would using a SFX power supply give the Heatsink/fan more clearance?
The max heatsink size is increased to 82mm with an SFX power supply.
This has got to be the best and most functional itx in existence
I personally like the Dan case a4-Sfx, but it's 200$. So this case is fantastic.
The Thermaltake Core V1 is also a great itx case!
if they make a fully dust filtered model i would definatly buy one iv been thinking realy hard about building a micro gaming pc.
+Houdinii1212 you can buy dust filters for it for not to much more expense, the hardest thing is getting cables short enough so they don't fill up the space inside really
+WayStedYou that's where custom cables come into play (you could probs mod a small window on there too just to show off the build as well if you make it sexy xD
Ncase M1>SG13
But only slightly. Considering the price difference though, SG13 is pretty sweet
Fractal Design Core 500>>NCase M1
But in terms of design and structure,
NCase M1>>>SG13>>Core 500.
Intake fans in front, reverse cpu fant to pull air up, use bottom intake power supply to push air out the back?
Please add a video for the Liquid cooling system. I bought this case to build AMD Ryzen 2400G PC, here in India (Kerala) SFX PSU are rare and overpriced on many online stores. AMD stock cooler height is around 50mm and maximum fan height is 61mm. So please add a video with Liquid cooling
Looks like an air-conditioning unit!
What was the new cpu cooler clearance when you used the SFX-L PSU? it can't be the full 24.5 mm difference. with the adapter bracket what did that put the distance at?
You set the only filtered intake to exhaust?
You can make dust filters from socks
if only this case is dustproof i'll straight buying it.
will it fit GTX 970 G1 Gaming.
Does this support a standard sized PSU?
Yes, no problem. It is recommended to install it as exhaust for the computer (take air from the computer, and push it outside the case. As there is no other exhaust in the computer unless you find space for another fan, which you won't with full PSU size.
Electric Shavers FTW!
Since its so small, its would be a killer for lans, right?
hey Dmitri! I just built in this case and I used an i3 6100. however, it's reaching temps of 85C while gaming. I am using the Noctua low profile cooler. any tips?
Sounds strange with the Noctua cooler. I would suggest to re-set the CPU Cooler to make sure there are no user mounting errors.
Antec P50 FTW!!!
Again, at 2:57 , you can clearly see the lead for the reset button.
I know I am late,but that commercial "have no fear harry's here" reminds me of max payne in the last chapter when vlad said "have no fear!vlad is here!" any body?
+Mohamed Hoseny I used to say that a few years back when working in a bakery. When I'd get to work, I'd say "Have no fear, Dmitry's here" ha!
HardwareCanucks Haha!Thats cool
Still haven't gotten around to moving my system from the CM 130 Elite to the SG13 yet (probably at xmas knowing me!), got magnetic filter covers for the CM 130 that i can just move across so no worries there. :)
Why do you switch? Im considering this and Cm 130.any advise?
+Khoi D. Tran I just fancied an even smaller case. :)
The CM 130 is perfectly fine for the job, mine is an intel i5 4690 air cooled with Noctua 120mm intake and Noctua NH-L9i cpu cooler with XFX psu along with a MSI 750ti gpu: dont bother with the additional 80mm side fan that comes with it (a pointless addition really).
If i did it again i would use a modular psu to avoid the tangle of unused cables.
Hope that helps. :)
+demos113 great info, I'm going for the 750 ti too but mine is way more budget build coz I'm going for AMD x40 860k or i3 4170 only. One more favor, can I have recommendation for the mobo that u use for you i5?
Thanks !
+Khoi D. Tran I have an Elite 130 aswell and it is a pretty good case. A few problems with vibrations from my stock i5 cooler, making the case louder then it could be, but you can handle it somehow by modify a few spots. All in all im pretty pleased with it, having a R9 280, 3 SSDs and a Harddrive in it.
Khoi D. Tran I used an Asus H97I-PLUS, there are probably newer and more up to date boards and cpus as that was 18 months ago.
Make sure your motherboard is compatible with your cpu whatever your choice is. :)
Hi Dimitry. I was wondering if an adapter is required to mount SFX power supplies. Thank you.
Silverstone states max PSU lenght supported is 150mm, but there is clearly quite a lot of extra space there with a 140mm PSU. Why would that be? it seems itcould easily take a say 160mm PSU, and still install an AIO in the front, or are looks deceiving?
There is a reset button! Left to the power button, that little hole :)
Would you give example what fan its suitable for this casing ?
Waiting for your review on the Fractal Design Core 500.
Thanks
I don't understand in this day and age why people don't think to use a good 2.5" hdd in small form factor cases. You can get good 7200rpm drives like the WD Blacks. I know you can't get mega terabyte 2.5" drives YET but if more people would start buying 2.5" 7200rpm drives then bigger ones would come. If ssd's drop much more in price over the next year as expected then this won't even be a point. But for now, think 2.5" hdd's people.
thanks, 4:42 harddisk seems not cool optimally. harddisk sits too high which makes the roof of harddisk not blown by air from front fan
need some mesh to cover the air vents !
Side and top vents, couldn't one stick a bit of black nylon with tape over them. That would be cheap to do.
I might get this so i can game on this and use mac for other stuff !
