... is there such a thing as a (dual) 60mm radiato-- MOTHER OF GOD
I'm actually using that same one in an HTPC build. I'm using it with two Scythe fans (60x20mm), and believe it or not - even at full load - they are silent!
No numbers since I have it paired with a 120mm rad. Also, I'm only using the two rads (120 & Dual 60) to cool the CPU; HOWEVER, I do have a waterblock for a 1060 that I could throw on in the loop. I wasn't sure about cooling both the GPU and CPU on that little rad space so I decided to just cool the CPU.
I have a 6700k and a 1060, but only the 6700k is in the loop. I also have a 120mm rad in the loop.
If this new S4 mini does indeed have a spot for a dual 60mm rad, I could see about running some tests with just the dual 60mm rad if there is interest.
I was just curious, the s4 is a pretty open case for gpu airflow, but the cpu in its own loop would be pretty cool
I have this creeping suspicion that at 45mm thick there may not be enough room between the motherboard and front of the case to fit 65mm of radiator and fan goodness.
Now the one thing that does come to my mind is if there is enough room for an HDPlex 300W AC-DC in there at 62mm x 41mm x 133mm.
I believe Josh may have already said something about that. I can't remember.
Or maybe that was a different case I heard that about. IDK.

I'd thought about using that one, but there is hardly room for it in the spot we see
I do have one of it's smaller siblings laying around though

What would be the benefit of using a radiator over air cooling, given the fact that there is no room for a bigger fan on the rad than on the cpu?I'd thought about using that one, but there is hardly room for it in the spot we see
Would it still be more efficient than just aircooling ?
Lol NDA, not to change the hype train but has everyone seen the zotac 1070ti Mini yet!! It’s only 464 on Newegg and has the 1080 mini cooler on it.
Aesthetics, and with a lower power SKU a small rad is likely adequate
Does anyone know the exact model of the Sytche 2200RPM (or equally good) fan that goes behind the GPU? For higher speeds, must they require a molex power connector? I've been having some heat issues and wanted to completely remove the back plate on my Zotac 1080 but don't want to mess it up so instead I'd tried a fan first.

Honestly, i tried the scythe fans behind the gpu, cpu, in between, blowing/sucking air and the temps got worse no matter the position/airdirection or case position. I also tried many different fans for this purpose. Now i have unused fan brackets and fans lying arround.
For me an additional fan did not improve temps at all.

That case with 2 60mm fans is most likely the x299 build he mentioned in the video. It uses a server heatsink that has to have airflow over it. At least that my best quess
