[USER=3408]@soulazy[/USER], unless you're thinking of undercloacking that 7700K, i would said that your setup might generate to much heat for that case and especially for the L9I. It's meant for 65W TDP CPUs and the 7700K is a 91W TDP CPU. Here's Noctua's recommendation. As they stipulate, you should only use the L9I on a very well ventilated case when paired with a 7700K. That's not the case (no pun intended) for the Mini itx 3.42L even with the big vent holes and it's not the point either of this case.Maybe someone has a better take on this, but this is what I'm seeing.
