Is it possible to fit a Zotac RTX 2060 SUPER MINI in a NFC S4 Mini (brickless)

Would it be possible to build a brickless build with the RTX 2060 Super from Zotac. They claim it would fit in 99% of the cases and I wonder if it would be possible to build my brickless dream pc with the HDPlex 400W PSU.

It won’t fit with the 400w brick without mods and swapping out for a different riser.

What about using 180 degree angle PCIe connector extensions ?
Were you referring more about something like direct pin or soldering to the back of the GPU ?

Yes - swapping the expansion bracket/riser. I guess technically not mods per se.

To fit the Zotac 2060 Super in an HDPlex 400W Brickless build you will need to either:
  1. Remove the cover on the HDplex AC-DC unit to allow room for the heat pipe (will still require LP 8pin cables and removal of shroud)
  2. Buy / Build a custom PCIe bracket and Riser to shift the GPU over 4mm or so toward the Motherboard (likely will still require removal of shroud)
  3. Mod the case to move the HDPlex AC-DC up next to the motherboard (where the DC-ATX unit would traditionally be). This solution will actually NOT require removal of the shroud.

would you able to share some tutorials of removing the shroud and where to buy lp 8 pin cables?

Hi, thinking if doing a similar 2060 SUPER S4 mini build.

Could you link to any examples of LP 8pin cables and custom PCIe brackets?

For the removal of the shroud, is possible just cut away the parts touching the case? Typically which parts of the shroud butt up against other components?

Thanks a lot.
