I am thinking about a slightly larger case that would support the "Ultra" card (3-slot) that is supposed to be quieter.
we wanted a smaller build if possible, sort of lost on case ideas.

Re: Mini-ITX gaming/work
I would suggest a tower CPU cooler. That case allows a 160mm cooler so all but the very biggest tower coolers will fit.
Re: Mini-ITX gaming/work
I ended going like this:

I had some help on the parts, the first recommendation was for the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev B cooler and that backplate didn't work with the ASRock board. I ended up with Noctua that worked perfectly. Brother-in-law is happy with the machine, really came out great.
I was shocked at how silent it was. even with the video card fans running about 1300rpm was almost inaudible. I set the hardware switch to silent mode, fans 0 rpm most of the time.
Noctua:
getting ready for a new box for myself, not sure if AMD or Intel. I am not gaming, would be different. maybe wait for 10th gen Intel and try to learn about the AMD stuff.
thanks

Re: Mini-ITX gaming/work
Glad all work out for you.
While i see your point, and would be optimal if it didnt touch, the bottom is rubber, mine has been running for 6 months no issues.

Re: Mini-ITX gaming/work
It all worked out in the end, took 5 days to get the Noctua.
Thank you again, for all the help.
