I'm looking at getting a new gaming PC and the idea of a mini case is really attractive to me. I'm not hugely bothered about RGB and it looking majorly pretty, and the advantage of having a small PC sat on my desk instead of a massive tower on the floor is a big deal for me.
I've had a quick look online though and this particular case, which for me is the one I'd choose from the given selection in the Mini PC section, apparently has issues with cooling with higher spec parts.
Now I'm by no means an expert with this stuff and the last PC I bought (which was actually from this site, but I just made a new account) was about 8 years ago, so I'm a bit out of touch with the newest technology. That being said I'm fairly certain I'd want at least a 2060, maybe a 2070 based on what I'll be using the machine for. When it comes to processors and the rest, I wouldn't even know where to begin with what is required without one thing bottlenecking another, or if that's even an issue anymore!
I had a very quick look at picking some parts and when trying to proceed through the order, I had a couple of errors pop up saying that extra fans aren't compatible, and certain cooling solutions also aren't compatible, which honestly made me worry a bit! So yeah, is this a known issue with this case? Or should I just not bother with a case that small for a high performance gaming PC and have to settle for one of the bigger options? I'd like to have high specs in the smallest, quietest chassis possible with the given choices on the site, and not have it overheat.
Any advice is welcome, thanks!
