Just reading through this this thread. I'm interested in in the 3.7L. I'm running a very plain systems with a short CPU (MSI ITX RX-560) but wanted to know if there are any issues with the HDPLEX 160 plug on the 3.7L?
has anyone tested thermals on a 8700k with this specifically the honeycomb version? sorry if i've missed it in the thread somewhere. thanks in advance
I think you should also have this in mind:Just reading through this this thread. I'm interested in in the 3.7L. I'm running a very plain systems with a short CPU (MSI ITX RX-560) but wanted to know if there are any issues with the HDPLEX 160 plug on the 3.7L?
I ran the MSI RX560 over a (good) riser and performance was significantly decreased. It was struggling to run Minecraft at 480p 30 FPS. I plugged it in to the PCIe slot and it managed 1080p 60 FPS flawlessly.I think you should also have this in mind:
I was initially considering the same RX-560 than you, but the it doesn't have a 6-pin connector and thus all the power would have to go through the PCI riser, which is apparently rated for about 40W only.
Therefore, as I didn't wanted to put the 80W+ from the RX560 in the riser, I went for a model with a 6-pin connector (the Sapphire one in my case).
Would likely overheat stock. My 8700 non-k overheats throttles with the Noctua cooler. Better delid it.
once delided how are your thermals? are they still throttling?Would likely overheat stock. My 8700 non-k overheats throttles with the Noctua cooler. Better delid it.
noctua L9and will not be able to cool the 8700k processor with overclocking.@sergiiua before i buy, i want to confirm these components will fit in the 3.7L:
COD ITX Mini 3.7 L
Intel I7-8700K delided
Asus Roc Strix-370i
G-Unique ArcheDaemon psu 500w +modded brick
G.Skillz Trident 3200 mhz 16GB
Intel Optane
Barracuda 5TB 2.5
noctua L9i
gigabyte 1080 mini
.
noctua L9and will not be able to cool the 8700k processor with overclocking.
A powerful 1080 Mini video card will heat your hard disk with hot air and maybe it will quickly fail.
This memory G. Skill Trident very high radiators.
If i don't overclock and delid, would i still be able to use a 8700/1080 mini combo? if not, would you recommend an alternative video card that will provide next to highest performance with 8700. i already have the chip-set and motherboard. thanks!
@Revenant what are your thoughts? thanks
Just letting everyone know, i am in Batch 9 i have recieved my case and everything looks good so far.
No, i am in AustraliaAre you in the USA? I'm in batch 8 and I haven't got my case yet.
