Oh I see! It looks like the dimensions are much larger:
1U: 81.5 mm (W) x 40.5 mm (H) x 170 mm (D)
HDPlex: 51.5 (W) x 30 (H) mm x 160(L)
As the V3 is specifically compatible with the HDPlex, I imagine you'd have to perform a very creative mod to make it fit.
Ohhh I see what you're saying, I misread the first part of your post. I am using the modded brick yes, which is fine, but a completely internal solution would be best, I agree. I don't really know where you'd put this converter, especially with the 120mm AIO, but it would be fun to figure out.

Zotac 1080 mini has two fans, gigabyte mini has one. I recommend checking out some reviews on differences between mini cards and their performance, acoustics, and thermals; it seems like we may not be working off the same set of data. Either way, it does sound like you've narrowed down your...
The fan under the PSU does help a little with motherboard temps, though I never noticed any appreciate CPU as I was using the 92mm AIO already. It did not feel worth the turbulence noise it generates overall.
The external power brick I use with my HDPlex is somewhat bulky, but the entire...
The difference between blower and non blower typically comes down to which is more important: keeping the card cool (non-blower) or keeping the rest of your computer cool (blower). You can undervolt and tweak fan curves to control acoustics and heat, though out of the box non-blowers are...

Here is a post containing my two previous V2 92mm AIO builds, all of which I was able to close the side panel on without issue. RAM choice matters, you need to have low profile ram.
I have an EVGA FTW 1080 and the fans spin slowly enough up until about 45% that I almost confuse them with noctua fans.
Almost.
Yeah it's a thing but compared to the CPU side my experience has been less...uh...turbulent.
