Hi guys! A recent SG13 builder here (it's my first build, and I built it at the start of last month), and due to temp issues, I decided to buy the Noctua NH-L12S as hands-down they're the best air-cooler for my use case thus far.
However, I'm now in the zone where I keep lurking in the sff community forums in here, reddit, etc and keep seeing other people's builds. Just a few days ago, I somehow fell in love with the SGPC K55 case, and after using a 3D modelling software to visualize the size of that case vs my SG13's, well, let's just say I couldn't fathom how small that case is compared to mine, which made me think that maybe in the next few months I could build in that case...
... Until I realized that my recent (expensive) purchase, the L12S, will not fit into the K55 ?. Which leads me to wonder about my future case upgrade (read: downsize) options. Could you guys suggest any cases that are smaller than the SG13 (11.2L) that could still fit the NH-L12S, or is there any list of SFF ITX cases in this forum which also lists the cooler height as well for me to look into? Or do you guys think I should just resell my cooler in the future and get a smaller one for those really, really small cases?
Thanks in advance for anyone that helps!
