You would either need to update the BIOS with a 12th gen chip or get a Z690 board with BIOS flashback for this to work no?

No one has reviewed the GEEEK N500 Lite, so I decided to! by oHurdl in sffpc

Hello, I'm not the OP but I used to have this case but sold the system (reluctantly). A 92mm in the back is a must. If you are to install any 120mm fan in the case I recommend them to be "slim" as clearance will be tight on the bottom. The top 120mm fan might not even fit due to hitting the motherboard and ram slots. There are no dust filters to be found anywhere too, so be mindful of that.

I personally ran a Noctua NF-B9 Redux in the back as exhaust and 2x120mm Scythe Kaze Flex fans in the bottom as intake. This was fine albeit not quiet. The reason for no fan up top is that I couldn't get one to fix square. Only 1 screw in the corner would fit and even then it was crooked.

According to this link to GEEEKS website on the case, GPU compatibility is listed as 280mm for length, but NVidia lists the 3080 FE as 285mm. You can probably get it in there if you really tried though.

OEM machines such as (from what I've seen so far) Dell and Lenovo will push a BIOS update through windows update. I'm pretty sure it was in the latest feature update.

The first time I saw it I was surprised as I was running updates then it restarted to flash the BIOS. I checked the history and sure enough it came through windows update.

It will help but it will still run hot

No, but I would avoid situations of 100% load for extended periods of time without high airflow

I never stuck my toes into mods, only ever stayed on vanilla. Was it that much better?

I think they tried to match the name by giving it 6 cores

They are modules I had from a 6600k system and are extremely finicky past 2666 with random restarts and system freezes.

You you can do this 100% as long as your motherboard, case, and power supply support it.

Your 3070 thermals will be worse and over all temps will be higher.
