Yeah it does indeed look like the EVGA 3060ti XC GAMING would fit beautifully in the S4M-C.


You will probably need to remove the front wrap around bezel to make use of the GPU cutout to install the GPU. Once it is in you can just use the rear bezel screws and the ON/OFF switch to re-secure your bezel.

I'm not on here much anymore so if you have any questions be sure to email me so I don't miss them! I want to help. :)

Peace everyone.

unless your cpu is pulling 150w on its own I imagine a 400w unit would be fine, so long as it was quality. like hdplex.
I'm fairly certain those recommendations are set to give grafton for fire hazard psus

It has been confirmed as a fit brickless with the recessed connectors. Thank you, EVGA, for listening and making the perfect SFF card for the MINI! :D
Hi @Josh | NFC , just to clarify what you said here. This 1660ti will fit a brickless build using HDPlex 200W AC-DC and DC-ATX combo? The AC-DC will fit below the gpu?

just bought a asus 3060ti mini and a hdplex 400w ac-dc brick. will post some pics after it is installed.
it will replace my good old 1080ti

i hope the 11vs8GB vram wont hurt the game evperience.

the 3060ti has 17% more fps (in some tests 100vs130fps), draws less power and has all the new options that come with the 30 series. i think it is worth an upgrade as long as they still are availiable.

I don't think that gpu and psu will fit in this case?

No, the psu will be external and will swap out my 330w dell. But after thinking it through, the dell 330w shut off only a couple of times with the 1080ti. With the 3060ti it will have 30-40W less to push so i think i wont use the hdplex 400w and have it as a spare psu for another build

Nice.
I installed the asus 3060ti dual mini. Needs 50w less than the 1080ti.
Now i found a asus 3070 SI and will swap the fans of the 3070SI <-> 3060ti so the 3070 will fit into the S4M-C case.
I got the hdplex 400w psu also but i think i keep the 330w dell psu as it handles everything well.

Any other SM4-C owners looking at the Palit/Gainward 4060 TI as a GPU upgrade? Should fit nicely with room to spare.

It may have already been covered, but I found a nice and easy way to fix damaged threads on the thin 2mm S4 Mini panels.

Just enlarge the damaged threads with a 5mm drill then place M3 thin heads threaded inserts : https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/threaded-inserts/0138893

Works like a charm. No need to chamfer the holes (which is a real pain given the thickness of the panels) as the insert head is thin enough.

BTW, the case is for sale for anyone interested.
