Rider R2 3.0
[Template]
Precision aluminum. Panoramic glass. Uncompromised power. The Saber M6i is a 12-liter mini-tower engineered for builders who demand a showcase aesthetic without sacrificing performance. CNC-machined entirely from aluminum and wrapped in dual tempered glass panels, the M6i delivers the coveted "fish tank" look while supporting full-length GPUs, potent air cooling, and a direct-plug ITX layout—no riser cables required.
Key Highlights
- Full Aluminum CNC Chassis — 3.5 kg of precision-machined metal
- 12L Compact Footprint — Mini-ITX / DTX direct-plug motherboard layout
- Dual Tempered Glass Panels — Panoramic "sea-view" showcase aesthetic
- Up to 316mm GPU Support — SFF-Ready standard compatible, 2.5-slot clearance
- 135mm CPU Air Cooler Clearance — Room for high-performance low-profile towers
- Optimized Thermal Layout — 1× 140mm top exhaust + 1× 92mm rear intake
- SFX / SFX-L PSU Support — Flexible power options with clear fitment rules
- Hidden Power Button — Clean, minimalist front face with discreet switch placement
- Available in Black & White
GPU Compatibility
The M6i is designed for serious graphics power in a compact footprint. Maximum clearance:
316 × 133 × 52 mm
(Length × Height × Thickness)
- Length: 316 mm (measured without bracket)
- Thickness: 52 mm — approximately 2.5-slot cards
- Width: 133 mm clearance from motherboard plane
Compatible with the NVIDIA SFF-Ready GPU size standard.
⚠️ Important Note: NVIDIA Founders Edition RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 cards may experience side-panel clearance issues due to the 12VHPWR adapter orientation and power connector exit position. Please verify your specific card dimensions and connector layout before purchasing.
Cooling & Airflow Design
Despite its compact 160 mm width, the M6i supports a robust dual-fan cooling strategy:
- CPU Cooler: Air coolers up to 135 mm tall
- Top Fan: 1× 140 mm (14025) — primary exhaust
- Rear Fan: 1× 92 mm (9025) — CPU intake
Recommended airflow: Configure the rear 92 mm fan as CPU intake and the top 140 mm fan as exhaust to create a direct rear-to-top thermal path, efficiently evacuating heat from both the CPU and GPU zones.
PSU Compatibility — Critical Fitment Rules
The M6i accepts SFX and SFX-L power supplies, but strict dimensional and orientation rules apply. Failure to follow these will prevent proper installation:
| Form Factor | Dimensions | 140mm Top Fan |
|---|---|---|
| SFX | 125 × 100 × 63.5 mm | ✅ Compatible |
| SFX-L | 125 × 125 × 63.5 mm | ❌ Not Compatible |
- Orientation: The PSU fan must face inward toward the chassis interior. Fan-facing-outward orientation is incompatible.
- Extension Cables: Ensure your power extension cable plug direction does not interfere with the side panel or internal hardware.
- Cable Type: Braided or sleeved custom modular cables are not recommended due to tight internal clearances. Use unsleeved or thin-gauge cables for the best fit.
Custom Cable Length Guide
For the cleanest possible build, we recommend custom-length unsleeved cables. The following lengths are measured without connector housings and are based on typical ITX layouts—adjust according to your motherboard's power connector positions:
| Cable | Length | Routing |
|---|---|---|
| Motherboard 24-pin | 23 cm | — |
| CPU 8-pin | 36 cm | — |
| GPU 12VHPWR | 12 cm | Top routing |
| GPU 12VHPWR | 26 cm | Bottom routing |
