Really? Ill look into it, how ever the kingpin is single slot so ill probably go for that if i can fit it in my design.

i believe this is the one on how to "single slot" a gpu

Love the result:

Out of curiosity, is it physically possible to make a smaller PCB for the 1080 Ti?

I wonder the same thing too. The PCB on the 1080 mini is the exact length of a mini itx motherboard which is perfect

The 980ti K|ngp|n's PCB was extremely tall at 151mm, in fact, it doesn't fit in the NCase M1.
The 1080ti K|ngp|n looks like it will be even taller so hopefully your case can accommodate oversized cards.

So that 1080 Ti is almost two mITX boards in size. Where will the madness end ?!

Oh the PCB extends all the way now. Wonder how is Linus going to saw the excess length off

 

[Phuncz]

Use a heatgun, bend the PCB over, boom fixed !

My design will have vertical mobo mounting to this is no issue

I'm thinking of an SFF case designed around this card. I'm thinking of a back-to-back design with dimensions ~ 265x180x105. On one side you will have a Mini ITX board + enough space to install a Flex ATX PSU intaking from the bottom or the HDPlex 400W. On the other side you will have room for a dual-slot card of 260mm or less -- the Zotac 1080 Ti Mini or 1080 Mini will fit. And you'll have room for a 42mm CPU heatsink, so you can install a Noctua L9i or if you're feeling crazy and want to go X(2)99, the Dynatron T318/R15 + 120x15mm fan. Overall volume ~ 5L. Super tight. Not great for dust, noise, or temps. But Linus can build a 24-core system with a 1080 Ti in 5L

You gotta work that internal power brick in there, and HDPlex does not offer any AC-DC units over 300w...

Full load (synthetics) would (theoretically) be over 500w (7820X / 1080Ti Mini / three NVMe M.2 SSDs / 64GB RAM / asst. fans)...

At this point, choice is SFX PSU or an AC-DC assembly (two HDPlex 300w AC-DC units, one KMPKT Dynamo & one KMPKT Mini Dynamo)...?

 

[QuantumBraced]

If you need over 330W then you go Flex ATX. It's like an A4-SFX but with a Flex ATX PSU, so it's even hotter and noisier if you can imagine that I'm betting before the end of the year someone releases a proper 400W power brick though.

But I do love the idea of a case that supports dual DC-DC where 90% of users would be okay with 300W, but for those who want to go crazy, you can mount a second one, uncover a second C14 power outlet hole that was hidden under a plate, and plug in a second power cord for the dual power brick dream

No, at that point you would have SFX, but I just love the idea of dual power supply in some tiny case haha.

In seriousness, if we do get a 400W brick, I do think a sub-5L case can be designed around the Zotac 1080 Ti Mini with an external brick.

 

[Boil]

There is going to be that extra space on the mobo side due to the deeper chassis needed for the longer than ITX GPU, I say an internal AC-DC brick that does 400w coupled with a G-Unique Pico-style unit would be best...?

But such a chassis would covers the smallest & most powerful Nvidia GPU available for SFF builds...

We are going to have to wait & see what Vega brings & then design around that as well...!!!

Full load (synthetics) would (theoretically) be over 500w (7820X / 1080Ti Mini / three NVMe M.2 SSDs / 64GB RAM / asst. fans)...

It should be more like 450-500W at stock clocks with that kind of setup.

 

[br3nd0]

In seriousness, if we do get a 400W brick, I do think a sub-5L case can be designed around the Zotac 1080 Ti Mini with an external brick.

@guryhwa is delivering on both fronts there, his custom case is currently in prototype phase and his custom 12v PSUs/bricks are creating some positive buzz.

 

[QuantumBraced]

I have a ton of respect for him, but I just can't take a risk with a modded brick regardless of his stellar reputation. I would only buy from a respected company that manufactures according to all laws and regulations.

I think what I was describing earlier was basically a slightly wider S4 Mini in a back-to-back mini tower config rather than side-by-side. I wish a highly space-efficient case existed for the Zotac 1080 and 1080 Ti Mini. It seems like the choices we have are either full-length or ITX card support. Which makes sense as designing a case around one brand's arbitrary PCB length seems silly, but I think it's fair to say a 1080 Ti is not going to get any shorter than this, so I think it makes more sense now.
