Hello,
I'm thinking of converting my current PC to mini ITX with the ghost S1 mini.
My question is that I wanna continue using my i7 8700k with this mini itx rig. I would like to be able to overclock if possible. Is there a good low profile air cooler that would be able to overclock i7 8700k? doesnt have to be a massive overclock. Currently looking at Cryorig C7 and Noctua NH-L9i. I understand that it might not be possible and the suggestion below is better.
CPU Heatsink: Up to 66 mm
Alternatively get the large top hat for the case and get water cooling (I'd like to use aircooler more since my intention is to bring the machine to lans and I'm a bit frightened to move the pc around with a water cooler inside).
WATER COOLING: 240 mm AIO radiator thickness 31.5 mm, 2 x 25 mm high fans w. L TopHat
List of specs I will reuse
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070 8GB OC Gaming
Intel Core i7-8700K
Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz DDR4
SSD
What I need to get
PSU > Corsair SF600 (if 600w is enough)
Mini ITX mobo (ASUS ROG STRIX H370-I)
Cpu cooler ?
Case (Ghost S1 Mini)
If you have any suggestions for anything else that I've mentioned I'm open to it!
Thanks!
