Owikh has this cas i think? Ive seen the actual case... it's really big...
This is how small mine is..
135MM(W) x 323MM(D) x 225MM(H), smaller than a shoebox
That's why I'm interested as well.
Small is great but I'm fine with bigger size.

But the tempered glass side in the i100 means gpu could be hot. Not sure how effective the bottom intake performs.
owikh84 would know.
Does it fit triple slot GPUs too?

Jonsbo i100 yes. But the fans are less than a cm to touching the tempered glass.
Just wait for his reply.
I'll be interested to fit high end parts on it. lol

He is using a tuf in it iinm. Anyways ROG strix fits too so that's pretty much means anything can go in except the ridiculous 4 slot gaygaybird
Cool. Now have to wait for more Z690 and other ITX boards.
Nevermind. Found his temps.

Asrock Z690M-ITX/ax is here. Not sure it can handle I5-12600K with power limits removed. 7+1 50A.

hey guys, i am looking to build SFF/ITX but still with good cooling. Particularly ITX MB and AIO cooler compatibility. thanks!
CPU: i9 12900K
MB: ? ITX, DDR4 version
RAM: ?
GPU: Gigabyte RTX3080 Gaming OC
CPU Cooler: ? Prefer AIO
Power Supply: ?
Casing: Jonsplus i100 Pro
You have to go with Gigabyte Z690i Aorus Ultra. That's the best you can get with DDR4. Must deal with crappy BIOS.
Just get the best RAM without paying too much. It will be your last round for DDR4.
Corsair H150i elite capellix is great.
Cooler Master V850 SFX will be the one you are looking for.

Thanks bro.
how about the Asrock z690M ITX you just posted? would Kraken Z73 fit the MB and casing?
Thats a big no. VRM is weak.
I don't look at super overpriced products. Z73 is 360mm. Did you try to look at specs?

yeah, i am checking the compatibility with pcpartpicker and looks ok, what i am not sure is if the Corsair or NZXT comes ready with LGA1700 mounting.
You can bother Corsair support for LGA1700 retrofit kit. Takes only a few days for me.

Yeah, I know 12900K is too much for it. The issue now is 12600K.
Thats why I'm skeptical with Asrock boards. Failed Z490 and 590.

Jonsplus i100 out of stock. Sigh. This will be a good alternative, I think.

Asus nerfs BIOS for cheaper boards though. Might be only for ROG Strix.

Or go for other boards like msi that doesnt nerf bios on their lineup. Gigabyte doesnt too but their bios sucked to begin with lol.
Chance for MSI to make big bucks. MSI B660M Mortar? Yeah, I'll pass on Gigabyte BIOS.

Alder Lake ITX boards looks like upside down. Asus ROG Strix Z690-I - RM2159 - DDR5 and ridiculous price MSI Z690i Unify - Coming soon. DDR5 Gigabyte Z690i Aorus Ultra DDR4 - RM1549 - Feels overpriced and probably crappy BIOS Asus ROG Strix B660-I - RM1199 - DDR5 for B660 and RM1.2k? Seriously. Gigabyte B660i Aorus Pro AX - RM1089 - Single M.2 for a RM1k board? Seriously. Biostar B660GTN - Coming soon Can writeoff Asrock now. Declaring it as low quality brand. Asrock Z690M-ITX/ax - RM1095 - weak VRM. 150W max Asrock H670M-ITX/ax - Coming soon Asrock B660M-ITX/ac - Coming soon

Exactly, can't build a midrange Intel i5 mITX with those prices.
Looks like have to go with budget builds. Hopefully 2023 prices will get better.

A little off topic, but I notice a lot of experts in this thread. I got Asus Prime Z690-A mobo. The specs says it supports up to DDR5 6000. Does this mean a DDR5 6000 would be the absolute limit? Say in the future something like a DDR5 8000 CL30 becomes a common mainstream (much like DDR4 3200 or 3600), this board will never be able to run at those speeds and I have to get a new Z690 board?
Advertised support is from validation. Unofficially, it can do more but it will be more stressful to the memory controller and does not guarantee it will work.
