New Mini ITX build idea!

[Jyeu]

Hey everyone!

i was wondering if this build would work and if the GPU would fit this case. I also want to get into custom water cooling for this case as well but that’s a separate topic because I’m extremely new to custom liquid cooling.

The thickness of the card even in a 3 slot vertical gpu mini itx case will have the card just barely touching the glass.

Length wise its fine but youll be without a front intake fan, you could maybe cram 15mm slim fans inbetween the card and front of the chassis but that will involve playing PC rush hour in order to get the fan and gpu in there

I just wouldnt recommend it with stock parts. A water cooled build would be a bit more reasonable for an ITX 4090

I most definitely will be going water cooling for sure. Just don’t know what parts to get lol

Honestly would not recommend getting a 4090 on AM4. Usually "bottlenecks" are not an issue with modern CPUs but a 3600 and a 4090 will have actual performance issues. What's your budget? For $100-$200 more you could go AM5 or Intel 13th gen.

 

Unless you want it to look super fancy, or are buying a high power CPU, I would recommend using an integrated cooler if it comes with the CPU.

 

Here's my list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kn9TQ6

 

It IS more expensive, but has a new platform and double the storage. You can save a bit if you go with non RGB RAM. I'm not sure if the 4090 will fit in the case (I left the case as you had it).

Then dont do it on mitx. Youre amplifying the issue of airflow, routing, and tube management working on a smaller case.

 

And besides, that case is a massive hotbox on stock let alone with air restricting radiator.

Yeah I ended up switching to the Thermaltake Core P1 keeping it ITX and now just having trouble find sources for parts for the custom liquid build.
