ITX Builds

Here folks can compile Build ideas involving ITX Builds.

Please Focus on:
-Motherboards
-Cases with Gpu size reports with sfx & full psu

A case that may be of interest supports 11" Grfx cards.

I myself currently have
2 Silverstone Raven Z01
-sfx psu
-Slim slot dvd/blu ray support
-3 2.5" (1 less depending on gpu)
-1 3.5"
-Gpu Dual slot 13" long

1 Silverstone ml08 (with Handle)
-similar to Raven based on rz02
-no 3.5" support
-easier to work in than rz01 but not a pretty looking case. Less cpu cooler height.

Also have a Xigmatek Octans. Cube like case will update l8r

I stick by the Shuttle SZ270R8/R9 Chassis

Downsides:
500W PSU
4 SATA Drive bays (all internal)

Upside:
Supports fullsize Graphic Cards
Intel CPU
Integrated Heatpipe and fans for CPU cooling

Review from Kitguru.

7.5 out of a possible 10 is not a bad score - and that is even after the mention of non-standard components along with it’s niche nature.

It also bears out what I have said elsewhere. When building SFF computers, one MUST take heat into consideration. Having 3 uber large fans on the Graphics Card do no good if they are just dumping the hot air inside the case in question - as such a blower style card is best advised for these systems.

Thanks for the review, as it helped to confirm what I had been assuming based on my own anecdotal evidence.

Happy to see @Heliosurge is a fellow ITX brother!

I run the classic Silverstone SG05 itx case, sans CDROM cage (SFX PSU, max GPU approx 10.2" / 259mm )
https://www.anandtech.com/show/6167/silverstone-sugo-sg05-the-miniitx-standard-bearer

  • Zotac 1080Ti Mini (8.3" / 211mm)
  • ASROCK Intel Z370 (8700K up to 4.8GHz stable, usually run at 3.6GHz)
  • Corsair SF600 SFX PSU (600W)
  • Corsair H60 water cooler ( 3.6GHz 45c / 4.8Ghz 67c)

Snug fit, quiet even at max power, size to performance is very good

Well full size pcs are becoming less needed & not nice to move around lol.

i use the node 202 from fractal designs with supplied PSU 450W .

Use a WD Black or Samsung PRO M2 drive and zotac 1080mini, although the Node202 supports a full size card.

CPU 7700K intel using cyrorig low profile fan

add 2x fans to it and the whole thing runs cool and sweet

Raven Has an Rz03 itx case out based on rz01-E

I’ve got a Fractal Design Node 202 with an 8700k and an MSI 1070 Gaming X. Temps are pretty good though I doubt I’m getting the full performance of my 8700k with my current cooler.
