5 stages of persuasion:

Denial: "I know you can fit in there. Even though the manufacturer page said you were 50mm too long"
Anger:"LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE S*** GET IN THERE BEFORE I REMOVE YOUR FANS"
Bargaining: "If you get in there perhaps I'll treat you well and get you liquid cooling..."
Depression: "Why won't anything work? I searched reddit for 5 hours..."
Acceptance: "Sure, I had to cut a hole in the front of my $200 case, but hey, it fits... kinda."

Exactly, I cringe everytime I see something like that. While I was waiting for my 2070 I was actually shopping other cases, is it had not fit I might have been willing to trim the fan shroud but doubtful I ever would have cut the case itself.

I wish I could like this twice.

Today I received an L9x65. This whole thing's appearance is going to be ruined by its fan until a black one is released.

Sir, that is Pron, I fully agree on the beige fans ruining the look, Maybe a redux fan? I'm leaning more that way at the moment

Why they opted for this colour I'll never know (C7 Cooler with hand bend bits of metal fan clips)

MSI 1070 aero itx. Is one noisy bastard.

SFF countermeasures:

My Thin ITX board is up & running

Running a stock cooler on the Pentium G4500 and a 2.5" HDD for the moment until I get better accessories.
I have an M.2 to mSATA adaptor on the way to let me use my existing 128GB M.2 drive in the mSATA slot.
Nice that it came with the Intel 7260 WiFi card and 4GB of RAM installed

Good to get the noise down on that one, how much wider is it with the Accelero on?

No measurements for that but around the same size as GB 1070 Mini. Also shorter, triple slot and about twenty grams lighter. Superior (VRM) cooling due to sparse fins and 120mm fan!

Reckon I could use a C7 cooler without a fan on top, but with one or two 80mm fans blowing air perpendicular to it?

In particular with the mobo mounted vertically, and fans blowing fresh air in from the bottom so it exhausts out the opposite side.

Depends on what you do with it.
