Concept CustomMOD Nano 3.99L (Titan XP + i7-8700K)

[sergiiua]

I want to build something special for my friend

Idea:
- Top GPU
- Mini-ITX
- Internal or External PSU
- As small as possible
- As simple as possible

Specs:
- Case: 3.99L (296 x 270 x 50mm), 1.5mm Aluminum
- MB: Mini-ITX
- CPU: i7-8700K
- GPU: GTX Titan XP
- CPU Cooler: up to 28mm
- RAM: 30mm
- Storage: M.2 only
- PSU: G-Unique Unit (Low Profile Edition, 12.7mm PCB)
- PCIe Riser: LiHeat B-Type 30mm

Important:
- Motherboard needs to be used without backplate
- Videocard needs to be used without PCIe mounting bracket

Internal design:

External design:

Thanks for any comments

I tested K199. Zalman CNPS2X, Silverstone NT07-115x, Alseye IO-SH15-75S are more quiet and efficient.

95W cpu with a maximum 28mm cooler?!?! Oh boy.. Bring the ear plugs.

Not for LinX/Prime lovers only for gamers

Interesting! But how are 300mm width enough for this case?
(The CustomMOD Slim is 325mm wide, with a similar layout, right?)

Two points:
- Videocard needs to be used without mounting bracket (-10mm).
- Compatible with only reference videocard (Slim is more universe).

Why not make it a little bit wider then put the arch demon power brick (100*200*45) inside the case?
The reference card is much longer than the MB, why not make use of the space and it will become brick less.

How much cooler than CNPS2X?

CNPS2X is cooler than K199 by 7-9C on the same level of noise.

A little bit wider is not my option But yes, I’m looking for internal solution.

This might sound dumb, but I will go ahead and say it:

Why not use the case as a secondary heat sink?

Or alternatively, take off the fan from Noctua L9i and add a few mounts for 40mm blower fan to create a wind tunnel from front to back?

Because CNPS2X is great solution for 95W Delidded CPU in games.

reading from TweakTown test "http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5660/zalman-cnps2x-mini-itx-cpu-cooler-review/index7.html"

this Zalman seems to be decent.

However, do you think it there could be some room left for a 40mm fan to extract the hot air? It might improve thermals.

Yes, there is 100x170x46 free room near MB

Maybe you can try water cooling. EK SE radiators are only 26mm thick, along with the scythe 10mm fan they may offer a much better cooling performance.

DDC pumps can be very slim (<4cm, some are <3cm).

More important, water block can turn a graphic card single slot, which may buy you some extra space.

The only thing I am worrying about is fittings.
