Description
The DP2 is a fanless computer case designed for Mini-ITX motherboards that provides zero-noise cooling. As the images show, the chassis itself is a huge radiator, and the fanless cooling effect is even better than air cooling within the same volume. The case is able to cool processors with up to 65 W of power use. It measures only 10.2×9.6×2.4 inches (WxDxH). The UP2 case directs heat from the internal processor to the outside of the case through four 8 mm heatpipes. There is space for up to two 2.5″ storage drives. Due to its size, it is not compatible with PCIe expansion cards. The case has a front power on/off button. It is compatible with external power supplies.

ASRock B450 Gaming-ITX Motherboard:
The VRM has a high component count, and together with the 2oz copper PCB, decent inductors, and a decent heat sink, it should keep your CPU well fed and not throttling. The motherboard also has both main types of RGB LED headers, a neutral color theme, and has that single header for AMD RGB LED heat sink fans. If you are looking for a decently loaded B450 motherboard, give the B450 Gaming-ITX/ac a look.
