OP Olly
The goal of this build is to provide guidance on component compatibility. The component choices are not optimized for performance, thermals, or budget.
Notice: Small Form Factor PC builds are typically more challenging compared to standard PC builds, requiring greater attention to detail and advanced assembly skills. The success and overall experience of the build may vary depending on the user’s expertise. NCASE is not responsible for any component damage during assembly and takes no responsibility if you are unable to replicate this build.

* Mounting one 120mm or 140mm fan under the GPU is easier. Secure the GPU via the included GPU Lock Bar and M3 VGPU Kit 90D accessory. Mounting two 120mm or 140mm fans under the GPU is harder. The GPU and the VGPU Kit must be lifted to make room for the second 120mm or 140mm fan. This will require 1) installing standoffs between the GPU Bracket and the included GPU Lock Bar and 2) M3 VGPU Kit 90D accessory. |
