0.59L Kaby Lake-G Build

[chinevo]

This is the smallest Gaming PC ever build: 0.59L
0.95L with Power Brick
Gaming PC = 60fps in FullHD (1050 Ti and above)

Specs:
- Custom Case 0.59L (148 x 143 x 28, Steel 1mm)
- i7-8709G + Vega M GH Graphics (TDP 100W)
- 8800GT’s copper cooler (TDP 125W, 16mm)
- Innodisk VLP SO-DIMM 2x8Gb 2400 (18mm)
- 256Gb M.2 SATA SSD
- External PSU 170W (19V, 155x76x30, 0.35L)
- Mini-STX Motherboard from CHUWI HiGame

Very much looking forward to seeing how this build turns out.

Good luck with your project! I'm also eagerly awaiting one of these motherboards

- i5-8305G APU (TDP 65W)
- Custom 14mm Cooler

Idea for cooler: GTX 9600 (with heatpipe), but custom is better
I think before edit, you mention G210, but GT210 is 30W TDP and 9600GT is 95W TDP: nvidia chart

Curious one vapor chamber 50mmx32mmx2mm how will work with this kind CPU and GPU

There's a much better designed cooler I've adapted to MXM, it uses 2 heatpipes.

But these thin blowers have rather poor cooling performance to loudness ratio.

Am I missing something? Where can you buy that mobo?

No, you aren’t. Right now we can’t buy this motherboard, but Beelink and Chuwi announced micro PCs based on it. I am going to buy one of this PCs after releasing and get the motherboard from it.

Update. The distance between motherboard and top of CPU is lower than expected. I think it is 3-4 mm instead of standard 8mm. That’s why I think I can use 16-17mm cooler instead of 12mm. For example, my favorite ALSEYE IO-SH15-65 16mm cooler.

That heatsink will underperform with a 65W processor.... You're most certainly going to want something a bit beefier.

Is NVIDIA DCV-00219-N4-GP the best option in “under 16mm” category?

As far as I've found, yeah. There does exist a cooler for the FirePro V7800 but it's hard to adapt and can ONLY use a blower. The Nvidia fan unit (which has a few models, BTW) is easier to adapt and can work with blowers and top-mounted fans.

Thanks a lot.

Maybe NVIDIA DCV-00219-N4-GP can handle 100W CPU (i7-8709G, i7-8809G)?

BTW this maybe is the same cooler: 8600GTS

I think yes. Nice price, thanks.

 

[thewizzard1]

The 8600GTS was a 65W part, and the 8800GT was a 100W part, so it should be A-OK. They did use the same cooler!

If you get a better fan and more airflow OR fresh air, it'll work even better.

Hey, if the more off the shelf options don't work out HMU, I'm currently designing/building a custom 45mm CPU cooler with a 150w target, I'll have an extra vapor chamber and enough 0.50mm copper to make an itty bitty cooler like the one you need

 

[BernardoZ]

Awesome project!
Here is one more CPU cooler option you can try: link (21mm height, 65w TDP).

Also I was wondering. These Intel G chips size seem too different and narrow. Is that why you want to use a GPU heatsink?
Cuz maybe it's a good idea trying to adapt a 1U LGA2011 or similar socket cpu cooler, since those are narrow and usually have higher tdp.
This way, the bottom of the heatsink will cover a bigger area of the G socket than a 1151 version, and it might be easier to adapt it too.

Good luck, cheers

The main reason of choosing GPU heatsink is a maximum height. It is only 16mm. I need to cool 65W CPU using something with very low profile. I think, heatsink from single slot GPU is only one option in this case.

I think I found something very interesting. Fully copper cooler from XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog with 125W TDP.

 

[Vlad502]

125W TDP

Another 120W TDP cooler: Thermaltake Tide Water
Single slot variant is Tide Water Mini, but still need to mount ouside the case and i have no clue for TDP

Interesting stuff, thanks. But it is too large. I want that all things except PSU will be inside.
