[SOLVED] Looking to compact my mini ITX PC more.

[wardb196]

Hey Guys!

Currently I'm using a Fractal Design Nano S and am looking to make it more compact than it is. I dont typically overlock or run it through major stress. I use an MSI aero 1080ti and run my games at max settings for maybe about 2hrs tops, not too worried about the heat. Was curious what I could downsize to, was thinking the Core 500 but was wondering anyone else's suggestion. Wouldn't really want to spend more than 100 unless it can fit with the PSU and GPU I already have. I'd also be open to an even slimmer case and different psu without spending more than 200-250 as long as its portable with the gpu I have.
Thanks!

P.S I have a Corsair RM650X power supply 🙁

Are you water cooling or air cooling? If water, whats your current setup?

Your Fractal Nano S = 26.8 L

Cougar QBX = 19.9 L (105mm CPU cooler height, 350mm GPU length)
Fractal Core 500 = 19.5 L (170mm CPU cooler height, 310mm GPU length)

Fractal Design Node 202 (SFX PSU reqd, 56mm CPU cooler height, 310mm GPU length) = 10.2 L

Those are a few off the top of my head. I'm in the US though.

I'm using a Noctua cpu cooler. Don't remember the full name, but it's the typical low profile one that is used most often. I'm in the U.S as well.

Node 202 comes to mind.
I personally love my NCase M1 its roughly half the volume of your case and is able to house really beafy hardware including an open loop if need be.
Another good case would be the Sliger SM550.
