Hello! I want to do a build with Silverstone's mid-case FARA R1W-G (white on glass), but will need at the very least two 240mm radiators worth of radiator. A Youtuber managed to fit a 360mm on the FARA B1-RGB. But due to the difference in front panels, I doubt a 360mm radiator could fit in front of the FARA R1W-G. If this is true, then my next best option is 2x 240mm radiators. Does anyone know if I could fit one 240mm radiator up top, and one 240mm in front to fit with a 303mm (11.9") graphics card?

Here is the case for reference: https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=896&area=en

That Fractal Design Nano green build looks sweet! I'll have to reconsider my Z390 Aorus Ultra that's in my cart... I am worried the headroom from an ITX-build wouldn't be able to do a modest CPU overclock at competitive 1080p (9700k, 2080ti, Patriot Viper Steel 4400mhz kit to 8ns at or below 1.35V)

I'm not really expert in OC so I'm not so sure.

But your components seem to be top of the line. What application are you using/working on/working with that requires you to OC them?

It'll be coming from an R9 290x and a 4670k

Trying to push high frames in Planetside 2, an mmoFPS

My good sir, you have 9700K, 2080Ti, and 4400Mhz RAM. Those are enough to power DeLorean through time, let alone any game at 1080p..

Lol. That's right, for most games! In fact, the second monitor will be a 1440p just for other purposes.

Unfortunately Planetside 2 wouldn't see the same frames as another 1080p FPS.
