I got bored and decided to see what it would take to cram a Vega 64 into a toaster sized mITX case and tested to see if it will cause a thermonuclear detonation. to the dismay of the anti-AMD crowd. it did fit, and it did NOT blow up
you may want to ask me;
why did you do this?
are you crazy?
and does it work?
the answers are,
no f'in clue.
still drawing a blank.
and hell yes!
since i'm too lazy to resize the images to be able to upload them here, i uploaded pictures of the computer to google drive. here is the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1heekA5YKYmT24ybjhwbUxBQW8
i will upload more pictures of the guts a little later
Specs:
-this case: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353044
-intel 6600K
-ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac
-ZALMAN LQ-320, AIO CPU water cooler with some random Noctua fan i found in a drawer.
-Corsair CX550M PSU. (yes, i used a full size ATX PSU because i was too cheap to buy an SFX PSU)
-Vega 64 (duh)
-2x 8GB Team Vulcan DDR4 3000MHz CL15 RAM.
-240GB Kingston V300 SSD
-Nidec Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM side intake fan running at 50%
what i had to do:
-in the pictures you'll see a small green circuit board. that's actually the computer's power switch as well as power and HDD LEDs. i had to sand it down about 1/5 of an inch so that Vega's fat ass would fit in the case. this circuit board sits right on top of the GPU's rear right now
-ditched the "front panel" USB ports and audio jacks in order to, once again, squeeze Vega's fat ass into the case. right now there is only about 2mm of clearance between the back of the GPU and the front panel
-CPU had to be water cooled due to space, which is fine because i bought a zalman AOI watercooler 2 years ago for $30 on sale and finally found a use for it.
-the CPU cooler's shroud had to be sanded down about 1/2 inch as well so it would fit into the case
results:
not only is it working, but i was able to squeeze an extra 3% performance out of the GPU with minimal noise.
3dmark: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/13517861/fs/13448004
fan set to run between 1500 and 3750 RPM.
core voltage reduced to 1050mV, but clock left at auto.
memory voltage increased to 1100mV and OCed to 970MHz.
GPU temp hasn't past 75*C yet.
i've been playing on it for some time now. played overwatch and Battlefield 1, both in 4k, but some settings toned down to get good playability. no problems to report and it was surprisingly quiet.
