Question Will an RTX2070 mini-itx BOIL in CoolerMaster MasterCase H100?

[mwasil]

As advertised in the topic - Will an RTX2070 (non-super), the mini-ITX version with only one fan boil to death in this poor-airflow case?
Ok, so probably you might ask a question... Why would I need a case with such bad airflow in the first place? Quite frankly, out of 2 reasons:

1. I need a very small form factor
2. I need THIS case. I'm buying it for the looks and I'm FULLY AWARE of it.

proves that temps on a RTX2060 (gigabyte, also mini ITX version) are manageable (70c under load - gaming). Question is, does the 2070 output roughly the same heat as 2060 or will it boil to death and throttle?

If anyone has this case with anything stronger than 2060 please let me know how are your temps in this case.

It won't boil, it will run at normal temperatures, it just a 175W card assuming you don't overclock:

It ran at 65C during full load so I am sure it won't run past 78-80C in your case.

Thanks guys. Also, any ideas on how to mod this case? Would it be possible to custom mount a 120mm fan on top of the case?

Cooler Master doesn't say anything about if you can install a top fan but if there is enough space between the PSU and the top you can probably mod it and install one. One thing with case is high CPU temperatures so be sure to get a good cooler, max CPU cooler length is 83mm:

Why would you pick a case that is thermally limited, a nightmare to build in and overall bad designed?
There are so many good ITX cases on the market.

I literally stated that in my first post 😛 I'm looking for something visually appealing from the front only. My PC is sitting against the wall from the left side, so unfortunately I won't see my PC's hardware through a plexi glass since all pc cases have these glass windows on the left. This case has killer looks and that's what I'm looking for. The 200mm RGB fan is a huge plus. Maybye there are other cases that look alike the H100 with better airflow, maybye i overlooked something?

Cooler Master makes very good cases, I have their HAF X which has one of the best airflow with 2x200mm+2x230mm+140mm fans and holes all over the case with dust filters. My temperature are much better than average. Any mini ITX case will have less airflow versus full ATX cases.

No, I don't see a 2070 doing well in that case at all.
There's very little space to breathe at the bottom:

Spoiler

Stick to a lower power gpu.

That video may as well be invalid, because she only provided ONE GPU TEST SAMPLE, and doesn't even mention the title of the game being run. There should have been multiple samples.
As far as we know, it could've been CS:GO, which is light on gpus anyway, and that's pointless for a gpu test.

This video was sugarcoated.

In the end form over function is fine if you are happy with it. No there is no other cube case with a 200 mm fan. If you like cubey cases I would go with silverstones sugo series.

Other cases you might check out for small formfactor and good looks would be the Rajintec Metis, Dan A4 Sfx, Antec Cube EKWB Edition, Kolink Rocket and NCase M1.
