OPTIMUS— mini plus —

Compact by design.
Sub-zero by discipline.

A mini-ITX rig that runs colder than full towers twice its size. Splave’s whole-system tune turns thermal headroom into raw frames — and the small footprint stops being an excuse.

Thermal Reading

Cold is the
unlock.

The 9800X3D’s 3D V-Cache hates heat. Stock cooling leaves performance frozen on the table — boost gets clipped, frames get lost, the chip never reaches its real ceiling.

The Mini Plus gives it the thermal envelope it deserves: a 240mm AIO, calibrated airflow through the Pop Mini Air mesh front, and Splave’s hand-dialed fan curves. Under sustained gaming load, the package holds 54°C — well below the throttle line, with headroom to spare.

Lower temps. Longer boost. More frames. The cold is the unlock.

3D V-Cache, Tuned Cold

The chip that decides matches

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is already the gaming king out of the box — but its V-Cache hates heat, and stock thermals clip its boost behavior under load. The Mini Plus gives it the cold envelope it deserves and Splave’s hand-dialed curves do the rest. Lower temps. Longer boost. More frames.

Radeon, Unleashed

Big-tower frames, small footprint

The Radeon RX 9070 brings the horsepower for ultra-settings 1440p, aggressive 4K, accelerated content creation, and modern raytracing — all inside a chassis you can fit on a desk. Splave’s GPU tune holds stable boost under sustained load, so the small case never becomes the small story.

The Pop Mini Air

Cold airflow, smaller than you think

The Fractal Design Pop Mini Air is engineered for thermal precision in a compact footprint. Mesh-front intake, optimized fan placement, clean cable routing — every cable laid out behind the tray with the rigor of a flagship build. Open the side panel and the difference is immediately obvious.
