No, 37 is the max.
If the case can fit a 37mm cooler, which goes on top of the socket and ihs (which combine for 7.781mm), then it should fit just fine. You should have 6.281 mm clearance, minus whatever space is between the tips of the 24 pin connector and the motherboard (very little).
I have a case coming from batch 1 all and cant wait to see it in person.
It looks like its not too far off now!
Its in the states as of today.

The thing is the space between the tip of the 24 pin connector and the motherboard might not be very little. I don't have a motherboard here to measure it, but I feel like it'll fit but touch the side of the case. The biggest problem will be the connector on top of that Realan unit.
See this picture for reference with a ~36mm pico unit (160-XT)
With some modification to the Zotac 1080 Mini, I think it could work. Pinching off the over-hanging heatpipe and switching the fans out may do the trick just fine.
You'd have to completely replace the cooler, as the entire heatsink protrudes 30 mm or so past the PCB and past what this case supports. I'd be curious to see a mod where a Gigabyte 1070 Mini's cooler is placed on the Zotac 1080 Mini and tested as a proof of concept, if that's even possible.
Could work, maybe...
Zotac GTX 1080 Mini
MSI GTX 1070 Aero ITX
Gigabyte GTX 1070 Mini ITX
You wouldn't have to *replace* the cooler with some modifications to the factory cooler, is what I was meaning. Take a dremel metal cutting saw to the over-hanging fins and pinch off the heatpipe end (so that it continues to work of what's left of it) and there you go, you might have yourself a 1080 in this little awesome case. This zotac 1080 mini already has far better than expected thermal handling.
In theory you could refill it, but that requires knowledge of what substance it was filled with before. I'd love to see someone do a mod like that, but I'm also very doubtful that it would go well.
Yeah... Pinch the heat pipe then cut but it seems like the chances of ruining the cooler are very high.
That being said post some pics if you make the attempt!

My case is in hand all.
Looks great and wow is it tiny!
I will post some build pics in the build log section as it's up and running already.. Two hours after opening the box.

@sergiiua don't forget to post pictures of the new production batch when you can, I think I speak for everyone here when I say we enjoy the teasing
@sergiiua or perhaps one of the lucky chaps who have received there's. Could I have an internal measurement please.
The internal measurement from the centre panel to the outer panel (MB side) + (GPU side).
Is the split even on both sides, not by much but it looks like the MB side is slightly larger.
