If you're on the lookout for a compact yet powerful ITX setup, you might find yourself juggling a few key decisions; finding the right case that doesn’t compromise on airflow as well as component compatibility, and choosing a PSU that delivers the power you need without breaking the bank. Well, DeepCool’s got your covered with the CH170 DIGITAL case and the PN850M power supply. Two products that makes the right combination to take your small form factor (SFF) build to the next level.

The ITX Revolution: Why Choose the CH170 DIGITAL?

ITX builds have always been about balancing size and performance, and that’s exactly where the DeepCool CH170 DIGITAL case shines. This case is perfect for users who want a sleek, compact build without sacrificing the performance. With its mesh panels on all sides, airflow is maximized, ensuring your components stay cool even during long gaming sessions or intensive workloads.

What’s exciting about this case is its ability to house full sized components without taking up a large footprint. It's compatible with ATX, SFX, and SFX-L power supplies, offering flexibility depending on your setup. It also supports a CPU cooler up to 172mm in height and a 240mm radiator, for liquid cooling. You can also install GPUs up to 305mm without a riser cable. While many ITX cases might limit your options when it comes to component size, this case proves that good things come in small packages.

The integrated digital display is one of its standout features, giving you real-time data on CPU and GPU temperatures, power consumption, and usage levels. Not only does this make it easier to monitor your system, but it also gives your setup a modern, futuristic feel that is sure to impress.

Powering Your Build: The DeepCool PN850M PSU

Now, let’s talk about power. Traditionally, ITX builds rely on SFX power supplies, but here’s where the PN850M from DeepCool comes into play. The compatibility of an ATX PSU in the CH170 Digital enables this PN850M to be a perfect match, offering a budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing power or performance.

With its 80 PLUS Gold certification, the PN850M ensures you're getting a highly efficient power delivery system with reduced heat and noise. For those building with high-end components or gaming rigs, fret not as the PN850M comes with the 12V-2x6 power cable and five EPS/PCIe ports, providing stable power to the latest PCIe Gen 5.1 GPUs and multiple high power components.

Moreover, the PN850M is backed by a 10-year warranty, so you can be confident that your system’s power is in safe hands for years to come. Whether you're using 650W, 750W, or the 850W variant, this PSU is built to handle demanding components without breaking a sweat.

Why Pair this combo for your ITX Build?

You might be wondering, “Why pair an ATX PSU with an ITX case?” It’s a valid question, but the answer is simple, budget and performance. SFX PSUs are generally more expensive, especially in our market in Malaysia. By opting for the PN850M ATX PSU, you save about RM100 compared to SFX models while still getting a powerhouse of a PSU. Additionally, you may not always need the compact size of an SFX PSU, especially if you’re not building this PC for portability reasons.

The Verdict: Should You Go for This Setup?

If you're thinking of building a budget-friendly ITX setup that still packs a punch, this combo is a no-brainer. It gives you the flexibility to use full-sized components, various cooling options, and a PSU that delivers reliable, efficient power. Whether you're gaming, working on content creation, or simply looking for a sleek everyday PC, this setup checks all the right boxes.
