I just tried specifying a system in a Mini-ITX case and found that with an i7 processor it was impossible to choose a cooling system that was acceptable, none of them were adequate according to the website. I have temporarily changed it to an i5 so I could show it here (see below).
I actually have an old Mini-ITX system with an i7 processor from PC Specialist in about 2012, which has been fine.
Is it now impossible? Thanks.
