Thin mini ITX compatible with Irish Pro 6200

Dogan · Oct 9, 2015

I've been looking for ages for a Thin Mini ITX that could take some ''good'' Gpu, like the Intel i7-5775C, or skylake. If you are interested, I am building an tablet using the Thin Mini ITX

, I even thaught of MXM descrete graphics, but quite no Thin mini itx has that.
Thanks for help! :>

Thin minis have very limited cooling, so the TDP of the CPU is very limited. Big Skylake is 91W!, that's more than Haswell, and even the Broadwell is 65W.

However, 65W is the limit for Thin mini

That will run Iris Pro 6200

60 - 90W is a LOT for a tablet, or are you thinking of an All-in-one -like big touch tablet?

To continue the thread, just 'Post an Answer', then submit it.

The parts in my post above are compatible, and will work together, however, their power use is big and it will take a big tablet and battery to run it; something like the Dell XPS 18.

Can you tell me more about your plans so I can offer better advice.

It would have a 12 cell battery (min. 115Wh) to keep it running for an hour in a load. It would use an Dell XPS 13 2015 touch display, which has lvds connector, which the motherboard also has. It should be all in a 3.5cm thick casing.
weight about 1.5Kg

Thanks for helping!

DonkeyOatie · Oct 11, 2015

You will need a WiFi card too. That's a fairly thick case, but I understand. What are you going to do for cooling?

Dogan · Oct 12, 2015

For cooling dow the whole system I will use an Blower (fan) and another one for cooling the cpu, should be ok.
I would like to use something like a notebook CPU cooler, that could handle the power hungry processor

What do u think?
Sorry, that my answers are too late, or slow, but I don't have much time.

Thanks! :>

No worries, we're not in a hurry are we?

65W is a lot. Some of the Thin-mini cases have decent heat solutions, as do many All-in-one systems. It's a very interesting project. I wonder if there are low-power Broadwells with Iris Pro 6200? How about the i7 5950HQ, it is only 47W? The CPU is a bit slower.

Dogan · Oct 13, 2015

the i7 5950HQ is a nootebook processor available only soldered on board, so no thin mini itx

DonkeyOatie · Oct 13, 2015

OOPS! Are you building your own 'case' or starting with something partly made? Do you have access to a 3D printer?

Dogan · Oct 13, 2015

Definitely my own case

It would look so wierd if there was a display glued to a case and called a tablet,
I would like to end up with a CNC made case (aluminium or wood). I have read that 3D printed stuff is melting in temperatures above 65°C so not that awesome for a air heater

DonkeyOatie · Oct 13, 2015

I was thinking about prototyping and for brackets and other bits. Indeed, the matric melts, or softens at quite moderate temperatures. You might have had a case that you could mod to your needs.

Dogan · Oct 13, 2015

Yeah, the case will be quite hard to design and make

Dogan · Oct 16, 2015

I also don't know how should I power it, it would be also nice if the motherboard plug works as a charger.
I will be using 12 18650 with minimum capacity of 115Wh

DonkeyOatie · Oct 16, 2015

Yes. I assumed that you would be using 'laptop' technology to power it. There are some DIY barebones laptops that you could start with the chassis from, and get a good collection of parts from to use, but it won't be cheap

Dogan · Oct 16, 2015

I don't want it to be over a 1300 USD

DonkeyOatie · Oct 16, 2015

You'll be lucky. Then a refurbished or broken Laptop would seem to be the best source of parts. I just recycled an old Inspiron 15.

Dogan · Oct 16, 2015

Great, but I would still prefer the desktop performance.

DonkeyOatie · Oct 16, 2015

Power is power. The battery charger parts and the fans and heatpipes will be salvageable. You charge time may be long, or get exotic and have two chargers, one for each half of your battery stack. You are doing something quite interesting and crazy, so you need to think crazy too.

Dogan · Oct 16, 2015

Right

BTW do you have an idea how to use the Dell XPS 2015 touch screen? it uses the same connector as the motherboard, but not sure about the touch.

DonkeyOatie · Oct 16, 2015

NO! (Sorry)

Dogan · Oct 16, 2015

No problem

I must go, bye and thanks!

Dogan · Oct 17, 2015

I just realized, that I could possibly use a Zotac Magnus EN970 motherboard!

JeanPaul1 · Oct 18, 2015

DonkeyOatie :

I've looked on the site ASUS and the Asus H81T/CSM it doesn't seem compatible with the Broadwells, therefore even with 5775c.
Do you have other news?

Dogan · Oct 18, 2015

Sadly there is no thin mini ITX board that supports the 5775c, or has a MXM slot

DonkeyOatie · Oct 18, 2015

It needs a BIOS update.

Not the right CPU, but http://www.techpowerup.com/215369/giada-usa-announces-broadwell-core-i5-powered-thin-mini-itx-motherboard.html

The Asus Q87T/CSM may had the BIOS update.

You could re-package this http://www.anandtech.com/show/9161/asus-gr-series-goes-broadwell-i55200u-the-gr6
