    You can do it, but its generally not recommended as the VRMs on ITX boards are not as good as on mATX or ATX.

    Why is mATX considered SFX standard already? Imo it's still too big for that name.
     
    but yes it is the best board for overclocking that's smaller than ATX

    The GENE is the best non ATX/EATX overclocking motherboard for 9th gen Intel... availability's pretty awful though, I picked mine right at the launch and haven't seen much stock of it ever since.

    Some poeple have done certian parts seperatly,  none that i can recall all in one project, though there are plenty of examples of chillboxes, which is another way of dealing with condensation, though imo a 'lesser' way as you will have to deal with ice build up on parts of the case, not to mention insulating it.
     
    I have had a project planned for a couple years now that is pritty much this. I done a few years of research into what i wanted to do. Its on hold atm though..life likes getting in the way
     
    Ill be making a custom chiller for subzero liquid cooling . aiming at -40c.  A custom case , nitrogen filled. Boutique quality build and themed. ~£5000 budget area.
     
    I would sugest mocking up a 3d Model design for your case, it will help.

    You will need to build a dry air case.
     
    IMo the best way to do this is build a sealed case, with front I/O (u can seal the I/O PCB in a mini box and seal around the wires coming out. then seal that box to the case cut out).
    The rear output wires can be bundled together and sealed around. Same with the tubing for the coolant.
     
    Add some air fittings.
    Fill the case with dry air (nitrogen) Do not pressurize unless ur case is built to stand it.
     
    Obviosly ull need to build a subzero chiller. (or direct phase change unit built into the case)
     
    As for the components i would advise thermal grease in the socket, conformal coating aroudn it, and a neat layer of neoprene. Do what you can on the GPU aswell, u have less room to work between the block and the PCB though, so thin layers required. To make it look nice either use a motherboard that has a plastic shroud already, or build ur own.
    You shouldnt 'need' this as they will be in a dry ai envirnoment incabale of producing condensation, but its just a precaution.
     
    With that done you should be set for long term subzero use.
     
     
    This was just a quick rundown.
     
    EDIT: make sure ur o-rings can withstand subzero temps otherwise they will fail. Make sure u avoid acrylic block top, they cant handle subzero temps and will develop spider cracks and possibly fail. Use Glass or copper tubing, or if u want soft tubing though i personaly wouldnt. Avoid plastic hardtubing.

    RGB LEDs do not cause cancer.
     
    There are several reasons why you should not use it, for example it makes your computer look like a cheap Christmas decoration, but cancer is not one of them.

    When you really think about it, aren't we all radioactive?
