Hi Everyone, I just got my first SFF build done. And potentially this is currently the most powerful S4M brickless build without any mod.
Here are what I used:
AMD Ryzen5 5600X
ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3
G-Skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz C16 16GB X2
EVGA 3060Ti 8GB XC
Samsung 980Pro 512GB
Noctua NH-L9i (yes, this weird motherboard has a AM4 socket but Intel cooler mounting holes : )
HDPLEX 400W AC-DC + DC-ATX
Actually I've bought this case in August, waiting for Nvidia's Ampere cards release. While as you know Ampere card needs so much cooling, and there was no cooler design could be fitted in this case until EVGA released this 3060ti with 2 fans. This card is 2-slot and sized 201mm x 110mm, which is perfect for a brickless S4M build.
ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 is chosen for its DP input function, which enables its TB3 port output video signal from graphics card. I'm planning to use this feature for connecting to portable monitors, as you know Ampere cards does not feature USB-C ports anymore.
And about the CPU cooler choice, initially I bought a Cryorig C7 for this build, however it didn't fit as the 45mm heigh limitation is so strict, even the fan was switched with a Noctua NF-A9x14 with total height of 46mm. So if there is any 92mm fan on market could be found featuring a height less than 13mm, C7 would be a much better cooler for this case.
