How much airflow in a fan do you think I need? Also, what do you think is the smallest cooler I can use for this? I'm trying to find something under 35mm.Heatsink only? Absolutely not. The heatsink is actually quite slim and the fins are very close together to take advantage of the high rate of airflow that the blower fan provides.
Are there any ways I can transfer the heat to a little space next to my motherboard (90ishmm x 90ishmm)?I think you're going to have a mighty hard time finding anything that can cool an 8700K comfortably at 35mm or less. The L9i handles the 7700K at stock frequencies, but not with a lot of wiggle room. Considering how much more heat the 8700K looks to put off, I'm not sure any of the current crop can handle that. I am about half way through testing virtually all of the <50mm coolers on the market and most of them have significant issues cooling a stressed 7700K.

I only have 50ishmm above the open space... There are no fan and radiator combos that are thin.80mm watercooler? 90x90-ish mm heatsink with long heatpipes?
Get a thinner fan or use a small-ish heatsink and some long heatpipes?I only have 50ishmm above the open space... There are no fan and radiator combos that are thin.
I'm still in the design phase... But, I should have everything done by the time Volta comes out. BIFURCATION. I'm just wondering, how long has it been since you changed your name?That sounds like an awesome idea. Post build pics please.
Knowing me, probably. I tend to design stuff, and not make anything...Like a year or so?
Also, I'm just wondering, do you know what fan the FSP 500-FSPT has. I'm going to see if I can mod it depending on the airflow.

Perhaps he can answer the question for you.
Thank you.I can indeed:
