New build

Hi I am looking for a small pc case that will take a

Gigabyte Intel Z490 AORUS MASTER ATX Motherboard
Intel 10 Core i9 10900K Comet Lake CPU/Processor
Zotac RTX3080
for a new build doesn't need hard drive space as I will be using m2 ssd and won't be using DVD drive either.

How small of a PC case are we talking about here because it will be a tight fit for an ATX motherboard with an RTX 3080, a PSU & most likely a large CPU cooler for an i9.

Anyway, are you asking, looking for recommendation or are you looking to buy from TechPowerUp Forum members? If it's the latter, try the Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway section of the forum.

Looking for recommendations for a small tower

phanbuey · Dec 24, 2020

Corsair iCue 220T RGB Airflow

A compact mid-tower with an '80s vibe.

hexus.net

That with a triple rad up front would be my recommendation for that 10900k.

Cramming 6-700W of high end pc hardware unless fully water cooled with an open loop in a small case is gonna be a bad day.... although if you really cared that much about it being small an itx or matx board would have made much more sense... maybe look at this.

O11 Dynamic MINI - Highly Modular water-cooll friendly small PC chassis

O11D MINI adding to the O11 Dynamic series, the classic and mordern looking. A case that would accommodate the maximum number of water-cooling configurations without being oversized. With a modular back panel design, the user has the option to choose from 3 slots/ 5 slots/ 7 slots I/O shield to...

By far my favorite small case although I wouldn't consider it really all that small.

I am trying to fit it on a unit so it cannot be any deeper than 400cm it can be wider than a normal mid tower and as high.

Just a note that is not the A model. The A is key as it is the Airflow model.

I have just ordered the Phanteks P300A what do you think a 750 power supply or higher and any ideas for a cpu cooler (air).

So, uhhh... All this time & you still don't have a PSU or a CPU cooler yet? The PC case should be the last part of the build to get since you would need to size the casing for PSU & CPU cooler as well. A CPU cooler for Core i9 are typically large & bulky.

Maybe @FinneousPJ can fill in if that total build can fit into the P300A casing.

Oops I know it will take the gpu and the mobo I will just have to find a cpu cooler that will do the job as I said the case had to be a certain depth as I was tied for room.

The P300A can fit even a NH-D15 (fan clearance depends also on RAM).

Can it really? I remember the P300 its not quite possible without some elbow grease, or at least - its not a very wide case at all. Definitely worth looking into if you're buying a tower.

Have you already measured the casing that it will fit into the room space? If the width isn't an issue, you could just not close the side panel if it turns out that the CPU cooler would be large.

That happened to me 3 weeks ago :laugh:

Just found this and this and the clearance clearance for the case is 165mm.

I don't know how big is the P300 Vs Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL which is the one i had but the NH-D15 didn't fit :laugh:
