This is now the best case I have ever owned. Super small, quiet, aesthetically pleasing, well built.
Thermals (and noise - Noctua fans...) are better than you would expect with such a cramped case. This case is also surprisingly quiet. Get custom cables if you can, this will aid with cable management. Modular PSU's are a must with this case, non modular PSU's will not work as there is not enough room for spare cables.
This case replaces my excellent Corsair 250D that is large for a ITX case but has excellent thermals.
This machine is used for gaming on a 2K monitor.
Easy to build as all of the panels are removable.
CPU: Intel Core i5 13600K (not overclocked) never gets above 55-62C (better cable management or custom cables would probably improve this to drop below 60C)
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X52 (long hoses but they fit fine) with 2 Noctua 120mm x 25MM fans pushing out and 1 120mmx15mm slim Noctua fan on the bottom pulling air in. This fan is not mounted as there is not a mount in this spot however, it works fine and does not move at all.
GPU: RTX 4070FE - (not overclocked) Stays at 70C or below. Very quiet.
PSU: 850watt Cooler Master fully modular SFF
2 M.2 drives, no 2.5 SSD, don't need them anymore.
