STEIGER DYNAMICS launches FORGE Living Room Gaming PC

STEIGER DYNAMICS launches the liquid cooled FORGE compact Gaming PC. Measuring only 6.7 x 18.5 x 10.8 inches (17 x 47 x 27.4 cm (WxHxD), 22 L volume), FORGE feels equally home on desks, TV cabinets and other areas with limited space. FORGE can be placed vertically or horizontally while providing equal cooling performance and quietness levels.

Based on a modified Phanteks Evolve Shift chassis, FORGE features a high-quality, vibration-optimized, sand-blasted aluminium design with side mesh or windows. FORGE is available in Satin Black and Anthracite Grey color options. 120 and 140 mm CPU liquid cooling options and 140 mm case fans allow for maximum air flow and ultra-quiet operation at idle and low loads. This gives FORGE the capability to handle latest generation overclocked Intel CPUs up to 10 cores/20 threads and the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X with 16 cores/32 threads as well full-size NVIDIA graphics cards up to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.

Highlights:
  • Configurations starting from $749
  • Compact design that allows for horizontal or vertical placement
  • CPUs up to 10-Core Intel i9-10900K (once available) and 16-Core AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
  • NVIDIA graphics cards up to GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with HDMI 2.0b, HDR10, G-Sync and HDCP 2.2
  • Configurable with up to two M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs and 1x 3.5" HDD or 2x 2.5" HDDs/SSDs
  • Optional RAID1 and 0 arrays for SSDs and HDDs
  • Standard Gigabit Ethernet, Dual-band ac Wi-Fi and BT 4.0 (or higher)
  • Optional, syncable case, motherboard, memory and cooler RGB LEDs
Liquid cooled Intel and AMD processors, combined with M.2 SSD system drives and high-speed DDR4 memory give FORGE the performance of a high-end, large desktop PC in a compact housing. NVIDIA GeForce GTX and RTX graphics cards allow for content creation, all-ultra native 4K gaming, high-quality 4K streaming, and real-time madVR video upsampling. FORGE fully supports lossless bitstreaming of multi-channel surround sound including Dolby ATMOS.

Specs and Pricing:
FORGE is available in three lines. The Pure line starts at $749 and caters to media center, audio and video enthusiasts and allows for 4K Blu-ray disc playback. Core and Reference lines start at $1,199, feature AMD and Intel CPUs and are tailored to gamers and content creators.

FORGE is available to order from the Steiger Dynamics website now.

Hmmm interesting. Would want to see the thermals in that case, crammed and making an AIO that's got a single fan rad just to save depth...

a 2080 or 1080 backplate is around 80-100°C under heavy use that's what your case temp would be
it's "one of those" cases for people who don't really use their computer or don't know how hot components can get :/

mine is bling too but bling that I took 1 week tweaking (changing fans, moving them, reversing them testing various coolers and radiator placements) so it actually works
selfless bump on what Corsair QL fans are good for (mounted as intake) https://ibb.co/QCQdJJd
I tried exhausting the gpu backplate heat instead the gpu temps were better but scores weren't so...mounting the gpu in the lower x16 pcie made the M.2 and chipset hotter which activated the chipset fan all the time (didn't make a noticeable noise) will water-cool the gpu later btw, waiting for the next xx80Ti gen to do it

anyway just wanted to say that the freaking backplate is the no1 heat problem not cpu not gpu die that have adequate air,aio,custom loop cooling but not that damn "oven heating element" ><
and also that with computers being much more powerful and generating much more heat than they ever did, that kind of pre-built small cases have no hope to ever be good in 2020, unless you study and choose the coolest components possible..definitely not an Intel 10k and 2080ti ><

At a cursory glance, the layout isn't terrible.

But then you take a second look and you realize it's intaking air from three different sides, and then exhausting from one that doubles as the intake for the radiator, that's also intaking the exhaust from the graphics card, that's partially untaking from underneath the motherboard, that all exhausts into a decorative cover, dear god.

Saying that is that you don't have ever seen a good build with a case like that...

BTW i had long time ago GTX 280 (considerabely hotter than 1080 at full OC when in normal use lol), both were at these temp, but inside the computer case it was cool, due to only 2 vent of 12 Cm, one for CPU and one for everything else, it's not the number of vent or the size that mater, but how you use them.

Now about this build, it look just like ITX board with big GPU in a silverstone chasis, if it react the same as one that i have build once, then it is not hot at all when vertical (but your room wil be :) ).
