The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.

    Need feedback with this mini-itx build.

    power supply is not acceptable and the cooling neither, you need to change those.

    Yeah like Danish said, you're pushing it with that PSU. At least go up to 550w. I have a corsair TX series 880w (about 2 months use) and a delta 550 watt (about 1 month use) if interested.

    Also, The 1080ti prices have already came down some but will go further when RTX is released if you can wait until then.

    Well the case can't take a massive tower cooler nor an ATX power supply though...

    Silverstone makes some nice SFX power supplies - https://www.silverstonetek.com/product_power.php?tno=7&area=en

    You may want to go over my review for other options... See the "Mighty Mini" link in the signature below. I highly recommend the CPU vapor chamber cooler.

    You don't need a huge power supply but you do need a quality one. The ones included with cases generally aren't the best.

    If underpowered the system will just shut down, if powered with dirty power you could lose potentially everything in the case.

    Luckily sfx power supplies have come a long way in the last 10 years.
