@eMKayyoUwhY9 дней назад +2
I've turned my old HP Prodesk 400 G3 case to a gaming machine with a Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core CPU (Artic Silver 5 grease) and an MSI RTX4070 Ti Ventus 2X graphics card.
This HP case has crazy air circulation and the CPU cores don't get warmer than 39°C on colder days and 53°C @ full load. My pc lays flat in a closed TV cabinet, but when I'm gaming I open the front door so it can "breathe". I don't know why the core temperature don't skyrocket, but I'm more than happy with this build.
There is one thing I have to mention, I use two brand new case fans to cool my CPU with a max. of 4000RPM (never max'd out btw).@dipankarbiswas39179 дней назад +1

Personally, ATX parts on a micro ATX board is often cheaper while providing 99% of performance of ATX. I am willing to bet that over 90% people don't use more than one PCI slot or quad channel RAM or more than 2 storage solutions. Such set ups are not as upgradable as an ATX but right builds work well for significant time....

FAQs
Is ITX better than ATX? ›
If you require more expansion choices and plan to use larger components, ATX may be the preferable choice. ITX, on the other hand, may be the way to go if you want to build a small PC or save money and electricity.
What are the disadvantages of ITX? ›Decreased cooling capacity resulting in increased noise. Less SATA ports on mini boards. Less space to actually install storage within the case. Less USB ports on mini boards.
Is Mini-ITX motherboard good for gaming? ›Can I use an ITX motherboard for a portable gaming system? Yes, ITX motherboards can be used for building portable gaming systems. Their compact size and power efficiency make them suitable for portable setups.
Does Mini-ITX affect performance? ›Efficient cooling is more challenging to achieve in a Mini-ITX case, which can lead to thermal throttling and reduced performance under load. Additionally, Mini-ITX motherboards typically support only two RAM slots, limiting memory expansion.
Why is Mini-ITX so expensive? ›Mini-ITX motherboards and cases often come at a premium due to their more compact design, while MicroATX components can be more budget-friendly.
Does Mini-ITX use less power? ›Mini-ITX motherboards typically consume less than 100 watts of power, about 5 to 25 watts less than larger architectures.
Do Mini-ITX cases overheat? ›Mini-ITX cases often have limited airflow compared to larger form factors, leading to potential thermal issues. Avoid using oversized components that may restrict airflow or cause overheating.
Can you game on Mini-ITX? ›Powerful Performance
Despite their compact size, Mini-ITX PCs can house high-performance components, including the latest CPUs, graphics cards, and storage devices. This allows users to build powerful machines capable of handling demanding tasks, such as gaming, video editing, and 3D rendering.
In truth, many Mini-ITX PC cases can hold most graphics cards, even exceedingly powerful ones like Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090. This is a relatively recent development, as Mini-ITX PC cases used to be smaller, but many companies now sell extended models explicitly designed to hold large graphics cards.
Does Mini-ITX need special power supply? ›You can choose a smaller form factor with an SFX PSU, but the majority of Mini-ITX cases have enough room for an ATX power supply unit. Take the Fractal Design Define Nano S ITX case, for example. This case is designed for gaming specifications, and an ATX power supply will work just fine in the tiny, tiny space.
Is building an ITX PC hard? ›
Building a mini-ITX PC is challenging – in a good way. It's been challenging ever since I began using them, back when mini-ITX motherboards had integrated CPUs. Making sure there's enough cooling is still a primary concern today, along with issues such as graphics card compatibility and water-cooling support.
What is the maximum GPU length for Mini-ITX? ›GPU max length: 325 mm with SSD installed / 335 mm without SSD installed. GPU max height: 125 mm with top fan(s) installed / 137 mm without top fans. GPU max thickness: 57 mm with 2x 140 mm fans installed / 82 mm without side fans.
What is the advantage of ITX motherboard? ›ITX motherboards offer several advantages. Firstly, they are compact and take up less space, making them ideal for building small and portable systems. Secondly, they consume less power compared to larger motherboards, which can be beneficial for energy efficiency and reducing heat output.
Is Mini-ITX any good? ›Overall, though, you can house a PC in a good mini-ITX case that's just as powerful as one in an ATX case in the vast majority of situations. Still, it's about much more than just size or wasted space for me. Building a mini-ITX PC is challenging – in a good way.
Is Matx better than ATX? ›But, in 2020, most ATX and M-ATX boards offer a comparable core feature set. It's only in the number of connection options that M-ATX proves to be slightly less versatile. M-ATX motherboards are also backwards compatible, in that they can fit into any case that can take an ATX motherboard.
What does ITX stand for? ›(Information Technology EXtended) A family of very small PC motherboards from VIA Technologies. See PC motherboards.
