I built a ITX PC for a change rather than an mATX or ATX. The case I have is a Node 202 (Wanted it to be small enough to take wherever I go). CPU is a i9-9900 non K.
Idle temps are around 35c/45c, When under load however they spike to about 70c/75c sometimes 80c. This is with the stock cooler with ARTIC MX-4, fans set to max speed in BIOS.
I've reduced the turbo speeds from 5ghz max to 4.2ghz max. But it still runs hot, I've been trying to find ways to cool it off but I don't wanna reduce performance.
I fear I may need to cut parts of the case to fit a better cooler as the highest cooler I can get is 68mm tall (When I remove the dust filter from the case), and 55mm tall (When I don't remove dust filter from the case).
Any suggestions as to what I can do is very appreciated, I would've went with a not so powerful CPU but I'm a game developer and programmer who likes to also game and I wanted a very small PC that was better then my current one. I'm very limited on space and can't really fit more fans in other then the CPU fan when I get the GPU installed.
SPECS:
Case: Node 202.
CPU: i9-9900 non K (w/ stock cooler)
GPU: None atm, going to get an RTX 2080.
Motherboard: Z390 Aorus Pro WiFi.
PSU: Corsair SF Series 600 watt.
RAM: 16gb 2667mhz HyperX DDR4 (Temporary, took 16gb out of my ATX PC).
Storage: 500gb NVMe + 1tb NVMe (WD Black).
