World record 9900K OC in SFF case, normal ambient, run stable?
- Thread starter LegoFab
- Start date
What's your definition of SFF?
(~14L) A larger case like the loque ghost or Ncase m1 could probably hit the maximum potential of a 9990k with a custom loop, 5.3ghz+ would probably be possible
(4-5L) Any case using an l9i, c7 or other LP cooler (S4m, hahutzy style cases, etc.) will hit stock speed in the best case scenario
(6-7L) A Dancase could probably run mid to high 4.x ghz using a 92mm aio, and a sentry could do a similar job while using a 120mm aio
Custom projects involving small loops like mine (2x92mm radiator, 5.6L case) could probably hit 5ghz+ on a good chip

Besides the size, whats the kind of load is the 100%?
On Prime95 AVX and OCCT I think is impossible, even with a bigger rad, it's too much heat to get rid off in so short time and little area avaliable.
Another benchs, like AIDA, CB R15/R20, CPU-Z, etc is not that hard. Games like Apex, MK11, SOTB, Division 2, PUBG are easy.
By the way, RPCS 3 (PS3 emulator running Demon Souls) and Cemu (Wiiu emulator running Zelda BOW) are heavier than most triple AAA games.
I'm using a 280mm rad with Vardar fans on a moded A60, at 5ghz, the only tests that exceed 70° C (easily) are Prime95 and OCCT.

On hiatus rn as my x299e-itx is dead and the Vega nano hates my universal GPU block. A build log probably isn't a bad idea though, maybe I'll start oneDo you have a build log for this? Sounds interesting!
So far I've mostly just shared my progress on the gamers nexus discord and made the occasional imgur postOn hiatus rn as my x299e-itx is dead and the Vega nano hates my universal GPU block. A build log probably isn't a bad idea though, maybe I'll start one
Oh man, I love this! It's basically parts strapped together, with a shell attached
For the issue with the PSU cables blocking the RAM, perhaps it's worth looking at a custom FlexATX unit from Taobao - some of those offer modular connectors these days, so you can use custom length cables.
Not a big concern tbh, as I figured out how to make it tuck away into the pcie slot. I also don't want to abandon my psu after how much I've spent on it :[Oh man, I love this! It's basically parts strapped together, with a shell attached

Ah, right. Yes, Flex PSUs can still be pretty expensive
Depending on how adventurous you're feeling, looks like you can mod your own PSU to be modular: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=586652638880
I'm using an FSP unit unfortunately. I'll probably wind up cutting them down to length and custom sleeving it once the build is doneAh, right. Yes, Flex PSUs can still be pretty expensive
