Today, we bring a set of ITX installation solutions that support high-end flagship graphics cards, ATX power supplies and 360 water cooling, with a relatively rare vertical A4 structure and a volume of 192L, although it is not a small ITX, but the longitudinal optical illusion and the narrow frontal structure, the overall feeling is okay.
Thanks to the large volume and adjustable design, it can be compatible with 4-slot graphics cards, and the processor used in this installation is i5-13490F;Motherboard from ROG Strix Z790-i;The graphics card chose ZOTAC RTX 4070 12GB X-Gaming OC Opal White;Other accessories, the memory is Kingston Fury DDR5 6000 Beast, which can be overclocked to 7000MHz without stress;The solid state is Western Digital PCIe40 blue disk, WD blue SN580 2T;The power supply chooses Lianli SP850 gold medal full mode, and the water cooling is the Kyushu Fengshen Ice Fortress 240 Youth Digital Display Edition.
This configuration is for illustration purposes only and the power supply can be downgraded to 750W while reducing costs with an ATX power supply.
However, for high-end 4-slot graphics cards, the glass on the side will affect the heat dissipation to some extent, so it is recommended to add a cooling fan on the back and on the top, and at the same time, use 360 liquid cooling to assist in more cold air to improve the heat accumulation scene of the graphics card.

The vertical structure can obtain a larger volume in a smaller area, which is quite impressive compared to the height of the 32-inch display, but it is still an A4 structure, and the air cooling can only be pressed down for heat dissipation, and the overall width is relatively narrow.
Side display,Mechanical masterT15Choose a whole piece of tempered white glass,No blackening treatment,You can observe the situation in the chassis very well,From this angle,There is plenty of space at the top,You can put down the solid、Fan。
Overlooking from a high angle, there is a heat dissipation hole reserved at the top, and you can choose a 12cm fan or SSD overhead installation.
The front angle looks narrower, and in order to be compatible with 380mm graphics cards, the overall height of the case is longer than that of the common A4 structure case.
Disassemble the side panel, side display, you can see the common dual-slot three-fan graphics card, in the huge internal space is still relatively small, and the air intake is completely relying on the two front fans of water cooling.
Close-up of ZOTAC RTX 4070 12GB X-GAMING OC Opal White graphics card, it is also relatively convenient to use a single 8pin power supply cable management.
On the other side is also a high-permeability glass side panel, and a fan mounting position is reserved at the rear.

Motherboard, ASUS ROG Strix Z790-i Gaming WiFi.
Compared with the previous generation of products, the appearance of the front has changed greatly, and the heat sink has been re-optimized to look better, and it has the characteristics of vertical stack and courtyard structure, which can achieve maximum compatibility of hardware and maximize compact layout.
This generation of ROG Z790-i also features an FPS-II expansion card to enhance the motherboard's functionality, if USB2 is required0 interface and SATA expansion storage, then the FPS-II expansion card must be installed.
In terms of power supply, the ROG Z790-i uses a 10+1-phase power supply, with a single-phase maximum current of 105A, and a single 8-pin Procool II processor power supply interface, which is recommended for the i9-14900 without overclocking.
ZOTAC RTX 4070 12GB X-Gaming OC Opal White, 5888 CUDA cores, 192 bit video memory width, focusing on 2K ray tracing scenes, with DLSS3, you can also get a good gaming experience in 4K scenarios.
The size of the entire graphics card is 303mm in length, 121mm in width, and only 45mm in thickness, and the power supply interface has also been replaced with a single 8pin.
The overall design is still highly recognizable graffiti design, with a metallic white back panel, which is the same as the 4070ti opal white of the same door.
The thickness of the two slots allows for better compatibility, especially for small ITX cabinets.
Shadow Fan Blades, the fan diameter is 9cm, the number of fan blades is 11, there is no RGB light effect, although the cooling system is slightly shrunk compared to Ti, but the power consumption of the whole card is only 200W, and the heat is not high.
Kingston Beast DDR5 6000 16GX2, the overclocking ability is not bad, it can basically be used as a 6800MHz memory module, the white low-profile and low height, can be compatible with more ITX cases.
pcie4.0 specifications of blue disk, single-sided PCB design, 2280 length specifications, covering 4 capacities, of which 250GB 500GB 1T 2T design TBW life is 150TBW, 300TBW, 600TBW and 900TBW respectively, the warranty is five years, and the nominal sequence read and write speed is up to 4150MB S.
The core memory chip and the main control chip are both from SanDisk, the former is a 112-layer stacked 3D TLC Nana chip, and the design of no independent DRAM cache chip is generally good, with a high-capacity design of up to 2T, which is very suitable for content creators.
Lianli SP850, all-white design, passed the 80 PLUS gold certification, Japanese capacitor, equipped with a 9cm silent fan with HYB hydraulic bearings, the maximum speed is about 10% at 3000rpm, and it supports automatic shutdown of low-load fans.
Kyushu Fengshen Ice Fortress 240 Youth Digital Display Edition,Compared with the standard version,Only some simplified design has been made on the fan,Digital display function has been added,You can monitor hardware temperature and power consumption in real time。
In other aspects, it is no different from the youth version of 240 water cooling, the same aluminum alloy cold head, the same self-developed architecture of the high-energy water pump and dynamic balance pressure relief radiator, the same factory pre-installed fan, you can customize the RGB halo, the overall cost performance is good.
The ITX chassis selected this time comes from the T15 Linglong Tower of the Master of Mechanics, featuring a high compatibility, material inner steel and outer aluminum, vertical A4 structure, black ** three-color optional, the side panel is made of glass, the other four sides are mesh meshes, the front interface is complete, and the C port and A port have independent bandwidth.
The graphics card can be upside down or hoisted, and the top cover and foot bracket can be interchanged, but I prefer the upside-down installation of the graphics card.
19.The volume of 2L can support up to 360 water cooling, 380mm four-slot graphics card, ATX power supply, and at the same time, a 12 14cm fan can be installed on the back, and 1 2 is supported on the top5 inch solid state and 35-inch hard drive, the latter can be installed in a compatible 12cm fan or 120mm radiator.
If you want to install a graphics card with more than three slots, you need to adjust the thickness of the bottom left and right, use a 4-slot graphics card, the height of the water block is limited to 50mm, and the memory armor should not be too high.
The installation is relatively simple, the only thing you need to pay attention to is water cooling, 240 water cooling is recommended to be installed as high as possible, otherwise the water cooling pipe will interfere with the graphics card, followed by the cable management can only do its best, after all, there is no hidden line position.
