OPEN BOX - IN WIN Win CJ712.AU265TB3 Black Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case 8L Small Form Factor with 265W Power Supply CJ712 with 265W

Ce boitier est très petit . J'ai dû le retourner au vendeur car je ne trouvais pas sécuritaire d'installer les composants dans un boitier aussi étroit. J'ai payer des frais supléamentaires en plus des frais de retour. Un conseil vérifier bien les dimensions du boitier et ne vous fier pas seulement à la photos . Ce que je n'ai pas fait .

I like these cases as they are complete with power supply and a true SFF (Small Form Factor) size. Easy to install mATX motherboards. I have built over 50 PC's using these cases, only a few have had a bit of twist to them but I was able to straighten into square. Alden Concept appears to be a reliable seller of theses cases so far. It would be nice to get a break when ordering more than a couple of these cases, either with the case or with shipping.

250W PSU, small size. It is a trick to dissipate enough of warm. Use 13700, not 13700K CPU. no main switch.

The enclosure is well built, very small, but still good enough for a micro MB, simply beautiful. However,.. the power supply is a cheap one, gets hot quickly with about 150W average power output and will most probably die soon. A 400w power supply for example would have increased the cost with $10-15, but would have operated much more reliably. Ordered a 600W one from aliexpress to replace it. The biggest issue is the cooling of the CPU. A low profile cooler is almost touching the lid and the airflow for its fan is completely blocked. If the manufacturer provided some vents on the lid's enclose above the CPU then I would have rated this enclosure 4+. Had to drill vents on the lid by myself them pain it and unfortunately it is not looking so pretty now. Got rid of the useless tray because it was interfering with the CPU cooler. After all these modifications the CPU temperatures at full power are now below 70C which is reasonable. The majority of the people would have returned the enclosure after facing the CPU cooler issue, but I decided to spent time and modify it because the built quality otherwise is very good (the best for SFF enclosures I've seen for the last 20 years).

I am using this case to house a downclocked all core Ryzen 2600 @ 2.8ghz on a b450m mATX motherboard OPNsense router. Its perfect, and the temps are pretty good. Mind you, cpu isn't doing much, but I'll take 36C
