ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - eskro - 2011-11-15 Hi guys, maybe some of you would like to know this,,, after some researched, looks like the ANTEC ISK300-65 case should actually be named the ANTEC ISK300-135W. see the MD-135? yes, the included silent PSU is actually a 135W PSU. However, after some testing here and there by forum members, we can confirm you that this MD-135 PSU is really weak.... i DO NOT recommend using it at all.... Be advised to buy/use a PicoPSU instead!! - Beer40oz - 2011-11-15 Good one Eskro.... that is sweet. I seen that case in person and it's pretty small and the quality is top notch. This would be great with a new A8 or A6 APU.... So why did they not just do 135W? and give you the brick? Why not just buy the ISK 300-150? it has 150W and comes with the brick. - eskro - 2011-11-15 ISK 300-150 doesn't have a FanLess 0dBA PSU - Beer40oz - 2011-11-15 eskro Wrote:ISK 300-150 doesn't have a FanLess 0dBA PSU Oh I see.... from this video is more of a regular PSU with the regular power cord. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--0nChlFnWY&feature=related But how loud can it be? I really like the 300-150.... - eskro - 2011-11-15 it'll be annoying.... smaller fan in PSU is always noisy,,, just like in my current ANTEC HTPC case,, god PSU is making me nuts sometimes.... theres no reasons to not use the ISK300-135W case... it'll only cost you $20 more here,,, $20 for total silentness is a good deal to me!! - Beer40oz - 2011-11-15 Ok eskro.... I'll look more into it on the 65 Version ..... Wow it's slick.... I could place it the same way next to the TV.... I need a dedicated HTPC.... - eskro - 2011-11-15 truly a beauty! RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - Beer40oz - 2012-04-03 So has anyone build this? RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - Chuck King - 2012-04-03 Serious... I saw one in person and I really liked it RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - Beer40oz - 2012-04-03 I guess no one has.... wonder why people don't like this case? I'll start a new thread on the build. I'm going to order it. I am going to be moving to Denmark and I would like to take this with me. RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - eskro - 2012-04-04 perfect case for easy transportation RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - Beer40oz - 2012-04-04 Do I need this power supply to be 135 watts with the additional brick? Or will the 65W brick that it comes with be plenty? I am planning to use the AMD A6-3500 Llano 2.1GHz (2.4GHz Max Turbo) Socket FM1 65W Triple-Core Here is my wishlist for this project... http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13085529 Now I know the stock cpu cooler is going to be loud..... what cooler fits this correctly. I got the Scythe SCSK-1100 100mm on my other rig and it's silent. Oh and the ASRock A75M-ITX FM1 mother board do you know if the stock fan can be turned down in the bios? RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - eskro - 2012-04-04 on a review made by the guys at silentpcreview.com, they said that: Quote:"The space between the top of the CPU source: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article959-page4.html So were talking about 65mm here max for a APU Cooler.... in this case, happy shopping [CPU Cooler] Scythe SCKZT-1000 TDP:65W Fan:80mm Height:40mm ($40 + $0) [CPU Cooler] Thermaltake MeORB TDP:65W Fan:92mm Height:47mm ($36 + $0) [CPU Cooler] Scythe SCBSK-1000 TDP:73W Fan:120mm Height:58mm ($38 + $10) [CPU Cooler] Scythe SCBSK-2100 TDP:130W Fan:120mm Height:58mm ($50 + $0) [CPU Cooler] Scythe SCBSK-1100 TDP:75W Fan:100mm Height:64mm ($29 + $3) RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - eskro - 2012-04-04 and here's proof that even the Scythe SCBSK-1000 will fit just fine in the ANTEC ISK300 --> http://imgur.com/a/EuaVd#0 so, i probably wouldnt go for a Scythe SCBSK-1100.... 64mm high seems too much,,, also note that the guy removed the fan cage on the side. but that depends on your mobo's cpu socket orientation... but who cares!! once u got a Big Shuriken in there, you wont need anything else!! heck, remove the side fan cage anyways!! dont need it!! get a new silent 120mm fan and stick it under the Optical Drive tray using tie wraps or something and make it shoot air directly on the PSU! well, maybe a 120mm fan wont fit or knock on the ram sticks but still, you get the idea!! ventilation done!! ANTEC ISK300-65 FTW!! RE: ANTEC ISK300-65's hidden PSU Spec - Castrol - 2012-04-04 Looking at the this small case an idea springs to mind, you could get or fashion a VESA bracket for it - then you could do something similar to the Antec ISK 110 http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/images/product_del/Big/704515/05.jpg http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/images/product_del/BigBanner/704515/1.gif Anyone tried it? |
