Will be getting them benched for an article I am writing in the next two weeks, after which I will likely be selling one of the 1070/1080 and both the 1060 and 1050ti. PM if interested.

Thanks, its a Noctua by the looks of things - but full size? Does that fit? The cooler is 30mm by the looks of it.
So I've ordered my S4M now, yey!
Will be going with the G-unique psu so wanted to ask if anyone can share what cable lengths they've used? Would be nice to get that ordered as it's coming from overseas.
Most likely I'm going to go for a Ryzen/1060 build with the Asrock AB350.

The fan --> https://www.amazon.de/dp/B071W6HJP6/ref=psdc_1626220031_t1_B071J8BZ8S this is the PWM version.
The Titan cooler --> https://www.amazon.de/Titan-TTC-NC2...rd_wg=hBawx&psc=1&refRID=2SWGCS23N6CW9ZWFS6N5
Both in the European market
Wow, is there any reason not to go for it apart from motherboard compatibility?The fan --> https://www.amazon.de/dp/B071W6HJP6/ref=psdc_1626220031_t1_B071J8BZ8S this is the PWM version.

I have the combo above in possession, but I haven't tested it against the Noctua NH9l and I'm only running a 54W Pentium G4620 which at full boost stays under 60c with the NH9l.
I'd say build quality is not quite on par with the Noctua, but if it yealds better temps, dunno might be a viable option for some. I can't see why wont fit most ITX boards, unless they have very tall VRM heatsinks etc.

Gury has ordered a S4M too, he will be doing custom specs for cabling depending on your board.
press and hold will force shutdown. yeah i know that this time reset not that important, windows have good improvement, but sometime i need it.
Run a reset button extension through the back and wire a small switch if you really need it

You should install these boards in the workstations of all of your attractive co-workers. Tech support demand will go through the roof!

I’m gunna quote this and take my lumps for not doing my homework as well as I should have. While I did get the shutdowns with 8400 and 1060 6gb with 3200mhz ram, it was not due to the dynamo 160 and I feel as if I’ve maybe spread some bad info and apologize to kmpkt. The fault lay in my hp 230w brick. I have two of these units and one will run it with even mce enabled and the other will crash and burn with only xmp. I should have done more testing and confirmed the bricks weren’t the issue before I opened my mouth and I do apologize.
No worries as I think as an initial troubleshoot I would also implicate the PSU knowing I was close to the upper capacity of the unit.
Honestly though, I think it's also a common mistake people to take TDP or stated wattages, add them together, and presume things will work. I think it creates a strong case for manufacturers giving us more accurate numbers to work with. If nothing else perhaps we should have a community based list of common components and their typical mean and peak draws. Alternatively an SFF version of the Extreme Outervision calculator would be pretty cool.

Finally I got the chance to benchmark Noctua NH-L9i and Zalman CNPS2X. Both coolers did ok with 8700k in stock configurations. However I noticed higher temps with Zalman and it was irritatingly noisy. Noctua was very quiet, event at full speed. I did tried bit of overclocking, as expected cpu started to throttle. I tried removing motherboard heatsinks ( which I thought might have been obstructing airflow ) but it didn't help.
In my opinion, if you have 8700 or 8700k ( stock ). Noctua is the best option among the two. I did these tests in open air with igpu ( on the motherboard box ) temps may vary when put into s4m.
Aida64 benchmark ( 8700k @stock )

@Josh | NFC i think i can get my hands on that water cooled 1080 ti arctic storm mini. should i buy to see if it can fit in a skyreach?@Josh | NFC - Just watched your water-cooled video. That was some tough work having to mod the GPU block, but what an amazing outcome. I'm one of those crazies that might want to try something similar, a water-cooled Skyreach.
From the eye-ball, it looks like a Zotac Arctic Storm 1080 Ti Mini won't fit, correct?
If not that, then I just stumbled upon this Barrow full cover water block ...
It looks a bit smaller... but, I'm having trouble finding firm dimensions anywhere.
dimensions listed on are 212 x 164 x 41mm
