Hello All!
I'm brand new to this forum and this is my first post so be easy on me please!! lol
I'm looking to build my first SFF pc on my own and I'm familiar with how to assemble a PC but not absolutely confident in making certain I don't have thermal issues. I've only ever built once in a larger ATX case with PLENTY of room so I want to make sure when I go to buy components for cooling, I know I've got the right stuff!
Let me break down my general thoughts for a build :
I'd like to build in the Ghost S1, Sidearmd T1, or Streacom DA2 using my current Zotac GTX1080 Mini and i7-8700K. Going to go to a SFF power supply (600w or 750w), M.2 drive, and all the other SFF goodies... I currently have a NZXT 280mm AIO that I'll probably have to give up and some other fans that I may be able to reuse BUT I want to cool this thing properly so I will change whatever needs changed!
I have zero clue how tricky the thermals are with an i7-8700K in these smaller cases. I know the i9-9900K can be tough and seems to a popular choice so I'm thinking "this 8700K should be a breeze!"
Any thoughts?
Thanks To All!
