[SOLVED] How would you fit a 2080 in a portable desktop?

[lgdl_y]

Hello, I am trying to make a portable desktop build using air cooling and an i9 CPU.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/T4gLgw

CPU Intel - Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core OEM/Tray Processor
CPU Cooler Noctua - NH-L12 37.79 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard Gigabyte - Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory Corsair - Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage ADATA - XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Storage Seagate - IronWolf 4 TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card EVGA - GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB XC GAMING Video Card
Case Thermaltake - Core V1 Snow Edition Mini ITX Desktop Case
Power Supply EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

I have concerns about the thermal characteristics of my build. Will this build work or get too hot?
Thanks

Should be fine, but you wont be overclocking the i9 with that cooler.

do you have any recommendations for other air coolers which could fit in such a small case? I don't plan to overclock in the small case anyway - but I want the best fan that can fit

your GPU wont fit
case has max GPU lenght 260mm, your GPU has lenght 269,83mm

How would you fit a 2080 in a portable desktop?

You'd have to remove frontal 200mm fan and replace it with 140mm model. Then it would be possible to fit GPU through opening in chassis.
Also possible - front USB ports/audio ports element will obstruct GPU going through that opening.
Another pc enclosure would be preferable.

it says I can remove one of the drive bays - "The Thermaltake - Core V1 Snow Edition Mini ITX Desktop Case supports video cards up to 285mm long, but video cards over 255mm may block drive bays. Since the EVGA - GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB XC GAMING Video Card is 270mm long, some drive bays may not be usable."

Would you consider an AIO liquid cooler? A 120mm one should be better than the NH L12.

Ah ok so this case will just be impossible to use with my chosen components? I will look at other cases. Do you have to recommend? Thanks

No, due to the portability of the build I want to move it around a fair bit - I would be uncomfortable with liquid sloshing around my system during transport.

Not sure about impossible, but definitely not trivial.

Thermaltake Core X1 would fit everything without a problem. You can put a better cpu cooler in there too.

They are closed loops, so should be fine for transport. "air" coolers also use liquid in the metal pipe, its just less likely they could leak.
