So I am considering building my first SFFPC in the Ncase M1, I have already purchased the v6, just waiting on shipping. Now, I imagine I MUST air cool this thing, since it will be travelling on international flights and I don't want to run into any problems or have to check it in. However, this...

Anybody using RTX 2080s in their Dan case? I'm thinking about getting one (same price as 1080ti), but want to know which card will have the best thermals in the dan case, Gigabyte 2080 Windforce OC or EVGA XC Gaming, or even a blower style.

Thanks for that (broad) explanation, makes sense and totally explains different temps/experiences. Will definitely be paying more attention to the heatsinks on the GPUs I'm looking at.

Thanks for the reply! It seems most people recommend the Asetek 92mm AIO, that’s probably what I’ll go for. Also seems to me that people are 50/50 split on the blower vs custom GPU coolers, haven’t seen any definitive better answer one way or the other.

Does this affect the CPU temps in any major way? And has anyone directly compared various different coolers/GPU coolers? Would love to see those tests. As with much of the PC building scene, the more I learn about different options for building and cooling, the more indecisive I become.

Hey, just planning on building a new semi high end productivity and gaming compact build, and wondering what the best options for cooling are. Currently waiting for the z390 chipset and 9700k/9900k cpus, but would like to know what works together best. Originally planned to use the Asetek 545lc...

Hey, Looking to build a compact productivity workstation (and some gaming on the side) with the Dan A4-SFX v3 case and an ultrawide 1440p monitor. Will be waiting for the 9900k and 9700k for best performance, and most likely use a 1080ti for graphics. Any recommendations from a thermal...
