I love this build! Can you provide an updated parts list based on the pic in post #41 please! I want to build a small wireless VR rig, but can't use ITX because the WiGig transmitter requires a second PCIEx slot. Your build looks like it could accommodate this card between the AIO radiator...

Okay, I did some quick heat calculations. If the CPU is putting out 120W of heat and the fan is pushing 35 cubic meters / hr through the radiator, the temperature increase of the air will be 10C. This seems fairly significant. Anyway, I'm not worried about GPU cooling. The GPU has its own...

Thanks for the reply! I took a closer look at the center rail, and I understand the problem! I think the air coming off the radiator is pretty warm, so I'd rather send it out of the case. You *could* redesign this rail so that it does not block the AIO access. I created a simple paper model...

I'm very interested in the Sentry 2.0, but I don't like the "back pad" which you put on the case to "eliminate dead air" behind the GPU and support it in the horizontal orientation. My plan is to use a short GPU and an AIO water cooler for the CPU. The "back pad" restricts the height of the...

In an attempt to reduce the VRM throttling, I removed the C7's 92x15mm fan and replaced it with an NF-A12x15 120mmx15 fan which I mounted to the top of the DeskMini 310 case. The ventilation holes are almost the perfect size for a 120mm fan, but I used my handy mill drill to add a few more...

Okay, well if anyone cares, I did get the DeskMini 310 and the Crucial 2666MHz memory. Apparently the H310 does support XMP profiles. The system preferred 2400, but I was able to select 2666 just fine. I also got a Cryorig C7 Cu cooler and delidded the I7-8700 CPU. The C7 just barely fits in...

I'm trying to figure out which memory to get for this rig. This page: https://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20310%20Series/#Memory Says the Crucial Ballistix Sport BLS16G4S26BFSD will work at 2666MHz, but Amazon reviews say the memory only runs at 2666 if you can use the XMP profile. I...
