I'm Looking For a Case That Supports an ITX Motherboard and ATX PSU

I just learned today that I can't use my ssupd Meshlicious that I just bought for my build because my psu doesn't work sideways, I'm pretty beat up about it.

 

Does anyone know of a case that would support a upwards facing atx psu with a itx motherboard that's not too big?

Instead of buying another case, why don't you just buy an appropriate PSU?

Most actually small ITX cases use SFX power supplies. Otherwise you might as well just get a bigger case.

I thought about it, but I'm having a hard time finding a sfx psu at a good price. I can only find 80+ gold psus that are quite expensive.

That psu looks like it's standing up

Silverstone’s RVZ line up might be what you’re looking for. Just note that I had issues with running really hot components in mine. 5800x and 6800xt was over temping the power supply. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Why is the 5800x so hot?

Don't worry to much about a gold, depending on the load the difference can be a few percent efficiency difference.

 

The important thing is its a known good PSU, although I'm not sure if we have any SFX charts for that.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)

I had a Silverstone SG13, but that thing got hot. You'd need a 140mm AIO for your CPU too and crank that fan quite high, I'd just go with an SFX PSU even though it's expensive. Other cases I found are the Lian Li Q58, Jonsbo V10 and SG14, but IDK about the actual compatibility there.

I will find your Laptop thread and I will recommend an ITX build instead

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure would be neat if there was something useful here, eh?

Fractal Design Node 304. Use a few at work, if I do an ITX build at home I'll likely use one provided the GPU fits (it will only fit 2-slot cards). 2x92mm fans front, 140mm rear, should fit up to an NH-D15/D15S, though I'd go for the NH-U12A to be safe.
