Funding CustomMOD Nano 1.6L (based on Asrock DeskMini GTX)

Regarding the magnets & such…

You mentioned attaching the MB via magnets at one point, this still a thing…?

I can see this being SUPER easy to 'upgrade' in regards to the M.2 SSDs if the MB was attached by magnets; simply pop the top (magnets), pop up the MB (magnets) & insert new M.2…!

Top panel is mounted with magnets. M/B - with screws.

Today I received GTX 1060 MXM (MS-1WOU1), but it doesn't work with my Asrock B250M-STX Windows is working, but I can't to install GPU drivers. I wrote to Asrock, maybe they have newer bios.

cute little thing!

So, what exactly are the height constraints on the CPU & GPU coolers with this chassis…?

СPU < 25mm (SilverStone NT07 or Akasa CC7129BP01)
GPU < 22mm (12mm heatsink, 10mm fan)

What are you planning to do to cool the GPU? AsRock isn't planning to have a cooling solution ready until May as far as I know.

Go back a page, he already made a cooler

Woohoo Beautiful and trully compact.

Asrock sent me a new bios and GPU is working great now. Asrock, Thanks!

Prototype of MXM cooler is ready
Height is 22mm (12mm copper heatsink + 10mm fan).
Tested with GTX 1060 in Overwatch.
Max temp is 72C

Waiting for CPU Cooler - Silverstone NT07 (23mm). Zalman CNPS2X (27mm) is very tall and not compatible with nano case, haha

Max temp is 72C

That's awesome for such a small heatsink! How fast does the fan spin at those temps?
Have you taken the height of the ram modules as max height for the other components? I don't think there's any going smaller left then

2300 rpm, it's not quiet and not loud. Just a little shhhh I play only in Overwatch and CS:GO on FullHD, and have 200+ fps on 144Hz monitor. I'll try a little downclock and 12V-to-9V adapter for lower rpm. Fan on 9V is quiet.

Yes, ram is the highest component. GPU cooler is 1mm lower than ram. CPU will be 2mm lower than ram.

Open case temps?

 

[sergiiua]

Open case temps?

Yes, closed case temps will be later (waiting for CPU cooler).

So out of curiosity, what is the difference in height between the CPU IHS and the top of the die on the MXM unit?

EDIT: Nevermind, I missed the post above regarding height constraints on the case. Thanks for the data!

Very cool !!

I like many of your cases

I got an NT07 in case you ever need any data from it.

So awesome... but how much do mxm gpus cost tho :/

 

[Kmpkt]

1060 is 780 USD, 1070 is 880 USD and the 1080 is 1150 USD. Hopefully AsRock gets some mega price cuts for buying bulk (I do know there are very substantial reductions at 200+ units).

Yeah, think I'll just go itx lol. thanks for that though.

I bought my 1060 for $630 on ebay
Yes it's very expensive. STX-MXM only for SFF-fanatics
