I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

that's what i'm using so i guess it's enough for now

Which model?

 

For the 12400/12400F it is fine, plenty good enough for gaming. For 24/7 Blender, maybe not...

 

The Laminar RM1 is roughly equivalent to a very cheap tower air cooler, or a $10-$15 top-down cooler.

 

A $20-$30 tower cooler would beat it easily.
