Hey folks! I'm planning a new mini‑ITX build that fits into a 15‑inch case. Goal: 1440p gaming at 60 fps while staying under 8 kg.
Any advice on cable management or power supply selection? Thanks!
Nice selection! For the PSU, go with a 650 W SFX‑L unit like the Corsair SF650. It fits nicely and gives you headroom.
Make sure to use a full‑modular cable set – it’ll make the cramped interior a lot easier to route.
Consider the thermals – the H1 v2 is good but the GPU can get hot under load. A small 120 mm fan on the top vent can help.
Also, pick a high‑quality thermal pad for the VRMs if you can; it keeps temps down without a huge thermal paste mess.
Don't forget to add a USB‑C hub on the front panel if you plan to use external storage or a monitor with USB‑C input. The case supports it with a small adapter.
