The GPU_FAN connector is 5-pin? I'd never seen a 5-pin fan connector before. What is the 5th pin for?

 

[Kmpkt]

RGB LED I'm sure

Great stuff @sergiiua. Your builds are always an inspiration to me, to always look for creative new ways to push how small one can go. Whenever I think a limit has been reached, you surpass it - with style and elegance .

Interesting find - 1050 Ti MXM, only $300.

Awesome, that's more like it. What brand/maker is that? I can't really tell. ASRock just posted this today in another thread.

MXM GTX 1070 / 1080 cards from Aetina and TUL don't need extra power.
According to MXM design guide, slots can support up to 240W (or higher), just need one large adapter.
Even there is a four pin connector on MXM PCB...

BTW, CLEVO MXM card can't install on ASRock micro STX board...

All the Best

I asked seller. Waiting for answer

Seller answered. 1050Ti MXM - unbranded noname card with standard bios from nvidia. Factory in Shanhai, they make gpu for different vendors. I ordered one for tests

Good news. The height of low profile Innodisk SO-DIMM is 18.3mm, not 25.4mm. Now bottleneck is cooler. If we can find 12mm cooler we can build case under 1L. Estimated volume - 0.98L (150 x 192 x 34mm). I ordered this 14mm cooler for tests.

I allways wanted to see how much of TDP that cooler take. Good luck with testing.

Today I tried to stop fan on CPU.
78C is max temp in Overwatch!

is the intel xeon processor E3-1270V6 compatible with this board?

If all b250 support this cpu, than yes.

@sergiiua Which MXM STX boards do you have and how much did they cost you?

We decided to build 0.88L version of our Nano case.

To make it possible, we need:

• cut memory locking tabs to 18mm
• 10mm GPU cooler
• 12mm CPU cooler

Today we ordered much stuff on Aliexpress - 40x40x7 fan, 10mm aluminum heatsinks, different VGA and CPU coolers.

Not bad at all. Did they include the power supply for it or just the board?

Just the board

 

[sergiiua]

Decided to buy large heatsink (200x195x10) and to cover cpu and gpu.

I'm very excited to see where this is going.
