    Other The quest to build the smallest RTX 30xx gaming rig

    Hi guys, I would like to update this thread as I have been replying to another thread with my updates that is supposed to be posted here for accuracy, so this is the summary: I have found a really good GPU for the my goal that might fit into the K39 or Velka case, but this will need some...

    GPU MSI announce 3060 AERO ITX

    The case is K39, similar in size to a Velka 3 but slightly bigger. It can fit a GPU that has a maximum 180mm in length and 43mm in thickness. My other option is modifying the case which is actually, I think should be the first choice. My goal is to build the smallest and most powerful ITX rig...

    GPU MSI announce 3060 AERO ITX

    Thanks guys for the reply, so does that mean fitting a 3060 Ti into a sub-4L case is a futile endeavor or still a possibility? My first choice would be to look for an aftermarket cooler that is smaller than stock, be it a liquid one or a standard HSF. Modifying the stock cooler would probably...

    GPU MSI announce 3060 AERO ITX

    Hi guys, so this is what I have at the moment. My ITX case can only fit >180mm length cards and my 3060 Ti is around 246mm. However, as you can see, the board of the GPU is surprisingly small and can definitely fit my ITX case that requires >180mm length cards but then the stock heatsink needs...

    Ok, this seems to be a longshot. How about an aftermarket liquid cooler? Is there such as liquid cooler that is so compact it can fit into a 43mm thickness clearance permitted by the case? I dont know if I can moveor bend the heat pipes myself, as reorienting the other half of the heatsink...

    I am also planning on building a sub-4L ITX rig with an RTX 3060 Ti, currently, the only available option would be the PNY 3060 Ti but the stock cooler is longer than the case permits so deshrouding it would be the only option. Has anyone here know of a compact aftermarket cooler?

    Is Enhance a well-established reputable brand for PSU's? My go-to PSU brand has always been Seasonic but they dont make Flex PSUs. My Flex PSUs here are all Delta and Delta seems like a manufacturer mostly for the industrial sector which is ok.

    Thanks guys for the replies. Should I move this thread to the Pre-built section or is this the correct section? Also, regarding those Flex PSUs do you think 400watts will work? I do have a 500watts Flex PSU but it is a 2nd-hand one and I am reluctant to use it but will still consider it.

    Other The quest to build the smallest RTX 30xx gaming rig

    Hi guys, I dont know if there is already someone who was able to build a sub-4L ITX gaming rig with an RTX 30xx using off-the-shelf parts. sub-4L cases are the likes of the Velka 3 or K39 ITX casing with Flex PSUs. I have made some research and found that the following are the current...
