The smallest cards I was aware of were this aero card and the EVGA 3060Ti but couldn't get hold of either! I did manage to get hold of the zotac 3060ti which was fairly straightforward to mod and may be easier to get hold of. Video below if you're interested..

Interested to know what you had in mind that needs 500-600w psu in this case?

I may just do that. I'll probably paint it white just like the CPU fan and place it in line with that to maintain the aesthetics.

If you're feeling adventurous, I fit a Zotac 3060 Ti Twin Edge into my brickless S4 Mini. I posted about it in the builds section but also made a youtube build video which you might find handy.

Great info! It's so nice to get this detailed feedback. It's given me plenty to think about and read up on. Thanks!

I'm not getting much noise from the CPU fan at all. I did undervolt the CPU by 90mV to get the power usage down so assumed that coupled with the noctua fan worked well. The GPU fans are noisier though which is why I'm thinking about reducing the power usage to get the fan noise and temps down.

That's fascinating! Like with most things in life, the reality is much more complex than one assumes! I have to confess I'm a bit of a jack of all trades - I know a bit about various topics - enough to get by most of the time - so this is a really helpful insight into the power mechanics. Folks...

I thought I would attach some pictures for those that weren't too interested in seeing the video. The specs are: Skyreach 4 Mini Intel 9700K Zotac 3060 Ti Twin Edge with heatsink cut to fit case and 2x Noctua A9x14 fans Custom cabling throughout and soldered to GPU ASRock Z390 Phantom...

And that power cable looks really nice!

Hi. Good luck with the build. I recently finished my S4 Mini and the GPU part is a bit tricky. Did the same as you.. replaced the stock cooler with noctua fans but also had to cut down the heatsink to get it to fit! I don't know how to 3d print but I'm sure that would have made my life easier!

Thanks for your feedback. You're not the only person that has mentioned this PSU power calculation I got wrong. Previously, I watched a few videos which advised reducing the output by the efficiency rating but I'm not an expert by any means so concede that's probably wrong. That kind of makes...

I've been working on this build on and off for a while and finally finished the video this weekend. The GPU needed some substantial modification to fit inside my brickless build! Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas for reducing temps while maintaining performance.
