Looking for a suitcase/carry-on SFF case that has decent cooling

[LaboonTheWhale]

hey guys

 

So I may be moving across the big pond from US to Japan to go where my family is from. 

 

I currently have a build in a Define R6 and well... I can't really take that with me. I guess I can if I want to take up 90% of luggage space. 

 

My current specs are 8700k OC'd and a 1080 Ti STRIX but i will probably have to change the GPU if I want to have a SFF build. Hopefully what Ampere has around the corner w/ blower cards? 

 

I would prefer to keep my OC to 5GHz on the 8700k but i feel some cases only allow very low profile coolers which may be problematic with temps. I am planning to Delid this and apply liquid metal. 

 

Some cases that come to mind 

• Ncase M1
• Dancase A4/ S4 
• Cougar QBX 
• Node 202
• Raven series itx cases. 

Anyone have other recommendations?

Core 500 supports 240mm AIOs, easy choice.

Or just make a Ryzen APU rig in an Elite 110 or smaller case?

With the games i play I probably want the horsepower. I'll be bringing my rift as well. 

 

AIO is a nice feature but I think I'm going to try and stick to Air.but the case sure is interesting

It can fit taller air coolers as well

" Supports tall CPU cooler towers, up to 170mm in height ... "

Ncase M1

Honestly your best bet, it has decent air cooler compatibility and 240mm aios work as well.  You can even get a special bag for em
