It's a thought I had recently that I plan on testing in my next build. Currently waiting on a 1080 TI Mini to arrive, and then I will likely purchase another Node 202 to put it to the test. On smaller cards like the Gigabyte 1080 ITX this could even be done with a 120mm AIO in an even smaller...
What is a radwich you ask?
I'm referring to a 3-layered cooling solution, consisting of (from top to bottom):
- AIO CPU Radiator
- 2x (preferably) Delta fans mounted to the radiator
- GPU w/heatsink (shroud removed)
The idea being that instead of having two sets of fans, one for the CPU and...
Decided to push even higher and managed to hit 5017.84MHz on my NUC, and benching again raised my multi-thread score to a whopping 2930.
New calculations puts my score at:
(2930 * 1426) / (1.14 + 0.48) = 2579123 Performance Per Liter Score
Which is a solid 3rd place now.
If I grab a GTX 1080 ITX and a meanwell power supply, I can score ~4.1m (after accounting for an extra 1.09 liters in volume and a 3200 GTX 1080 score after overclocking and docking some for running it via M.2) which would be an easy first place. Though at this point, I think a smaller NUC + an...

Volume of NUC is 5.5 * 8.5 * 1.5 Cubic Inches = 1.14 Liters
Volume of Power Brick is 3.8125 * 7.75 * 1 Cubic Inches = 0.48 Liters

'tis a shame. I wanted to ditch my Node 202 case for the sweet 3 Liter savings but I don't wanna give up my CPU liquid cooling :'(
Either way will be ordering one once you start shipping.
Do you estimate there will be a backlog? Or are you manufacturing extras? Myself and a lot of other...
I have a ridiculous question. Can I fit an AIO CPU liquid cooler here? It looks like there's a tad bit of space for a radiator between the 1 case fan and the PSU. Naturally the radiator would be behind the 1 case fan. What's the amount of clearance there?
