Sliger SM580 – doprajte si kus mini-ITX luxusu

Installation

If you make sure beforehand that you know what components fit into the SM580 and in what order (manual) they should be put into the case, you will not have any trouble with the installation. This time I really recommend reading the manual – it will save you a lot of time. What may surprise you is that you have to start with the fans in the lower part – as I mentioned before, SM580 can fit only 140mm fans – then install the motherboard and after that insert the PSU into the SM580. After that the only thing left is to plug in all the cables, PCI raiser, and install the graphic card.

In the first build I tried to fit the mentioned “problematic“ AiO Fractal Design S28+ from the Prisma series into the case, but I failed since the radiator is few millimeters bigger. The holder, to which the radiator is screwed to, was the right size, same as the installation holes, the problem was with inserting into the SM580. In the end, I had to use the Noctua L9 cooler, which cooled the processor AMD 3400G, which is only 37mm high so there was no problem with fitting it in.

Komponenty, ktoré boli použité v builde:
Gigabyte B550I Aurus Pro AX, Noctua L9, AMD 3400G, 16GB Corsair DDR4, Silverstone SX550 Gold, Gainward 2070, Noctua 140

The cooling by itself is great thanks to the perforated side boards. The 3400G processor achieved the maximal temperatures of 73 degrees, which is a great success for a cooler this small. After covering up the sideboard, temperatures rose to 76 Celsius degrees. The graphic card was on similar level.  Therefore this “basic” case will definitely offer the best cooling, but you will have to clean the case fairly often. Most of the interested people will definitely go for full side boards – in that case you have to count with two 140mm fans, which should go to the lower part so that they could push all of the built-up air out.
