Review on LOUQE Ghost S1 Mk III (Ash): Sleek and Compact Mini-ITX Computer Case by Paul Rose

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Small and minimalist case.

Premium case. It is very easy to set up compared to the Dan A4 or Phanteks Shift housing. The only thing I find bad is the presence of only two slots for a graphics card, not even 2.5. Not many cooler options. You practically have to use Noctua's Ghost S1 cooler or a low-profile cooler. I tried to set 11700K without Top Hat, the case gets very hot so I lower it to 11400 because the thermal conditions are way below 65 TDP vs 125 TDP big temperature difference. In my opinion it should have a fan mount on the top of the case. I added some small fans with zip ties and they work very well. My pace is pretty good right now, but I really think Louqe should develop the next iteration with an exhaust fan, whether it's a small fan like 40mm or 60mm. It's better to have an exhaust fan than not having one.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
