THunder K7 and YY Case question
Hi all!
I was wondering if anyone with the NMB 460W power supply for the Thunder K7 board was able to fit it in? I'm asking this because I didn't realize that the case had two "bumps" in the area where the PS would be and I'm not sure if the extra length of the NMB PS would lay right on top of the bumps. Hope someone can answer this! Thanks! |
I have the case your talking about, but I'm not exactly sure
what your issue is. But let me clarify how mine looks. I have the YY case and your typical Enermax power supply. The two bumps (I think your talking about), are on the floor of the case under the PS. They are there to hold it up like little feet. I think the idea is to have a little air gap under the PS in case you have vents under there. Me personally, I'd rather have rubber feet so as not to transfer vibration of the fans in the PS to the case. Also, if for some odd reason those bumps do interfere with your PS mounting, then I would recomment buying a 3/4" hole saw (about $10 or less at your local hardware store, make sure to get a BI-Metal one...not one for cutting wood only), and just hold saw the buggers out. If your PS is really that large that they are in the way...then nobody will see your cleanly cut holes unless you turn your computer on it's head often. My only concern with the YY case and power supplies, is the length (or lack of) on the ATX power connection. I know on the extra long Enermax stuff it's more then perfect. But some others might be a little short. If you need it, I can measure the distance from my PS to a couple of system board ATX headers and give an "Average Length Needed". Also, a nice mod is to cut an opening for a second PS right above where the PS normally goes and run dual PS in that case (nice if you need one for MANY drives or TEC and one for a power hungry system board). OR, this can also be used to move your PS up about 5" for better cable running Etc. You only lose a couple of HD bays...which there are plenty of in that case. |
I've seen people use the nmb power supply and the thunder k7 in the YY cube without any major problems. I think there is one regarding the length of the motherboard, but I can't remember for sure, but I know that overall it does work, and it isn't too hard to get it to work
