I guess when you say "i9" you mean Skylake-X, not the 9900K.The heat output and power draw of these chips is way beyond client desktop chips. Even at 100% stock my 7960X can easily draw 160W or more. OC'ed is over double that.The prospect of an L9i trying to cope with that is honestly funny to picture.There is no <8L case on the market that really has what it takes to run a 1080ti and a 12+ core CPU under a heavy load, let alone a 5L case like the S4 mini. The closest thing is hacking a DAN A4 to use a flex ATX PSU.I would consider the Silverstone SG13. It fits an ATX PSU as well, and you can use an AIO cooler for the CPU, and it's cheap and easy to find. Or just pick a more reasonable hardware configuration. Personally, I wouldn't run a 2700X in an S4 mini, but I'm sure many do.
