anyone know?  Will the CPU run real hot?  Any third party coolers that will fit in it?  Anyone used the one with the 500w PSU?  Is it any good?

Got a buddy thinking of using one, just want to see what everyone thinks.


Anyone use Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H?

You can actually fit one of those thermalright ultra-120 extremes sideways in an x-qpack, if you cut off the little spar that supports half of the hdd cage.  As such, it can fit most every other high performance cooler as well.  I've seen folks fit zalman cnps9700s in their x-qpacks as well.  So yeah, you can run a quad in one fairly easily.  Still doesn't change the fact that they're cheaply manufactured ripoffs of a microfly.  And the x-qpack2's psu is supposedly decent, certainly much better than the original model.  

Haven't used the S2H, but I've heard it's almost as good as the DS2R that everyone's been using lately.  Is there something specific you wanted to know about it?

Do you have stock in Ultra ? I assure you the microfly (a rip off of the QP1) is manufactured just as cheaply as the QP2...

To answer the OP, you have a vertical ceiling of 65mm without cutting the brace.

all three cases are actually just made by Chen Ming, so they're all a ripoff of the atx-118 or whatever the Chen Ming model number is.

I'm going to build that exact system. So far this cooler looks promising... Dynatron P66/P66G

Do you have any links, pictures, or info on how to mod the qpack to fit a 120 extreme? I'm wondering also if you lose some HDD slots by modifying.

Thanks!
