louqe ghost s1 but it's actually from Aliexpress

With no real louqe ghost s1's available in the UK, I decided to go ahead and try [this Aliexpress knock It was reviewed quite favourably but i was still pleasantly surprised with what arrived. Packaged well with just the case, riser cable and a ziploc of necessary screws and hardware, it came ready constructed where as i assumed it would come in pieces. Having never owned a genuine s1 i can't compare, but the powder coated finish and sturdy steel parts do make it of better quality than many cheaper cases i've had in the past.

AKLLA A5: Small Vertical 3090 FE Build

It's quiet in games, built like an absolute tank with extremely thick aluminum, and performs like a beast all while looking like a piece of art in the corner of my desk. This is more or less exactly what the Louqe Raw S1 should have been.

DAN - untitled frame case

What I really would love is a DAN vertical case with your minimalistic design and square footprint like the Louqe Raw S1.

Bending a CPU cooler is back, RAW S1 edition.

I also recently built in the Raw S1 and like the case but was disappointed by the cooling. I fixed that by adding a [centrifugal fan](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKALhCe) to the top. I like that solution because I was able to keep the original top plate and most of the original looks. I wish Louqe had done that from the factory, it would have been a better implemented then what I can do.

Experiments with the Thor-zone Mjolnir

Sadly, I think I am stopping this build as I don't see it fitting into my use case: using a full custom loop to water-cool an RTX 3090 and 5800x. The temps I was seeing while benchmarking and mining ETH have deterred me from venturing further. I'm stopping for two reasons: a) I hope to recoup as much of the cost of the case as possible and want to prevent further scuffs to a future buyer and b) for my aesthetic, the Louqe Raw S1 presents a more unique look and build experience.

I am currently switching from a gaming laptop that is annoyingly noisy to a sub 10L SFFPC. Could you guys recommend a case for me that can easily put in a backpack. Specs I want would be a 5600x and 3070/3080/6800/6800XT.

Thermal performance is ok but not great, expecially for the graphics card which i undervolted to 1030mV at 2250Mhz (stock is 2400) for silent performance (90C GPU, 98C GPU Hotspot Fan at 1300RPM). CPU has headroom for a mild overclock (max. 74C). Louqe published a [CPU test for the case.

AKLLA A5: Small Vertical 3090 FE Build

I really dig the Louqe Raw S1; but, I just don't see it working with the blower cooler on my video card. Glad to see the confirmation of availability of the perforated motherboard-side panel; I'll probably try to get one of those.

really like the look of the corsair one, so was looking at louqe raw s1. think the case isnt much liked here tho. I checked out the subreddit and also liking the S620 and Sv540 by Sliger. im wanting to get a 5600x and 3070 ti or 3080.

This is gonna take a lot longer than i expected

Looks fantastic! I just got mine in and this is great inspiration! It’s a very well made case, I was actually pretty surprised how nice it really is in person. Gonna be replacing my Louqe S1… GPUs just keep getting bigger and bigger.
