380T matx with dual EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrids

Hi there,

Here is my 380T converted to mATX with H100i, HX1000i and dual EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrids:

BOM:

- Corsair Graphite 380T mITX case

- ASUS Gryphon Z97 Armor Edition mATX mobo

- Intel i7-4790K cpu

- Corsair H100i cpu cooler

- 4 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866MHz ram

- 2 x EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid

- 512GB ssd (mounted behind mobo)

- Corsair HX1000i psu

- 4 x Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition as radiator fans

- Bitfenix Spectre Pro 200mm as front fan

- Cheapest mATX case I could find, chopped up for motherboard tray

- Side panel from another case I had lying around, chopped to make rear panel

This is the preliminary assembly just to check that everything fits. I will be doing custom wiring next. There is currently a vast quantity of wiring shoved in behind the mobo, and shorter wires are really a necessity.

GPU temps are as expected (i.e. below 50C). CPU temps are also as expected, and the relatively small clearance between the PSU and the H100i radiator intake does not seem to be a problem. The PSU is mounted with its intake fan facing the mobo, but so far the PSU fan has not spun up (with the HX1000i the fan stays off until a threshhold temp is reached).

Overall a very fun build!

do you by any chance have build log how you did that ? :D

Hi, not really. I haven't had time to do the wiring yet. When I do, I'll take some additional photos that should help explain how I did it.

By the way, your build was a major inspiration :)

So I finally got around to making a set of custom PSU cables. Everything fits much better now.
