---------- OP ---------
this is a project I've been working on during my latest COVID infection (yeah, it's still a thing theses day...). the idea was building something small with a decent PPL score but not compromising on noise and thermals... It's still WIP but I feel confident enough that it will work out, so I'll share the progress here with you
first of all, a short introduction of the parts used for this project...

1) as for the GPU I chose the inno3D RTX 4070 Twin X2 which is one of the smallest I could find at 250mm length / 2-Slots and with 3080isch performance
2) the Ryzen 9 7940HS and motherboard comes from a MOREFINE/TOPTON M600 mini PC. It more or less shares the dimensions of the Deskmini STX boards but IMHO has better connectivity, e.g. including Thunderbolt.
3) unfortunately the M600 board does not run with 12VDC so I have to use a 0.25L small 19.5V 330W GaN PSU from SAVAGO. To get the GPU up and running, I ordered the new X9-ATX-320 from PICO-BOX.
4) for the PCIe riser, I was first planning to use something from ADT-LINK but then decided to use JHH-Link's Gen4 M.2 to PCIe16 "eGPU" adapter instead. It's relatively small and reliably switches the GPU and PSU on&off together with the M600 board.
5) the M600 usually comes with a blower fan cooler, but it has also mounting holes for normal Socket 1200 coolers - perfect for an old Dynatron Vaporchamber cooler & ID-Cooling slim fan which I still had on hand from a previous build
some initial benchmark results:


stay tuned for the build log...
