Could I use a mini dp to HDMI?

Yes, but it won't give you 4K/60Hz

Someones have installed a MSI RX560 AERO ITX in a MT desktop ? I want to know if this card block the PCI slot (the white one).

No it won't block it but whatever you put in the PCI slot will be right next to the fans of the card. Here, in red, is the space that a 560 will take up.

Thats good to know I purchased the same graphics card as @jctmac to replace the RX580 that I blew up!. Arriving next week and I'll update after that.

RX580 that I blew up!

Craig, you are really hard on your hardware, what's going on with this trend ?

Inexperience I think @trs96. Definitely a focus on cooling from now on for the G5 build. Also lost 16GB of ram too, but the motherboard survived.

I'm seriously thinking to build an open air case for my need now (with a pci-e riser).

@trs96 I just want to add to this with a Geekbench comparison in my summary that I wrote about for my BlueEyeG5 build. I took your advice trs96 and called it complete. Do I move my thread to another forum now?, completed mods?. But first let me share my results.

So according to Geekbench at least, Mojave runs better on a Dell 7010 motherboard than windows 10pro. Now compare that to the Geekbench scores of Apples Mac Mini.
