@dondan Do not want to sound like the boy from the airplane bus in "Home Alone" movie, but ... please answer these:
- Manual shows only the RTX 3xxx series 45 degrees power cable and not the RTX 4xxx series. Do you think that CableMod angled 12vhpwr adapter is compatible with your case so that it would not interfere with the side panel?
- Corsair Dominator DDR5 2 sticks with Noctua D12L and Noctua NF-P14s on the side panel compatibility. Or only 32mm LP-RAM 32mm as Crucial DDR5 will fit? Please confirm/correct
- Can you plz refresh the GPU compatibility list with hyperlinks to the official websites’ products? This would make your community happier and less questions asked about the exact GPU

I've searched and may have missed it... can slim fans fit with 3 slot gpu I.E the new FE cards?
1) The 90° will not fit and the 180° will interfere with side mounted radiator or fans. Just use the Corsair 12VHPWR gen5 cable for their SFX PSUs and it will fit. Or usw one of the CableMod Silicon cables.
2) It depends on the fan configuration on the D12L. Its not a limitation of the case its of the D12L. Check out Noctuas product page.
3) I do not think this is necessary.
@dondan could you please add RTX 4070 Ti compatibility to the list? (closer to the release). Thanks!
That be the one. Cable Mod makes them also. I have one of theirs in my case with the cables bent at the connector powering a 4080.
It depends. Many of these half sized mATX will fit like:
2 Slot mATX (19.7 cm x 18.8 cm) like:
ASRock H610M-HVS
...
3Slot mATX (23.0cm x 21.5cm) like:
GIGABYTE H610M S2H DDR4
...
all of these will require to mount the PSU in the front position!
Only full 4 Slot mATX (24,4cm x 24,4cm) will not fit! But there are many chinese cases that will fit 4 Slot in 15l but will have many other limitations.

Chinese cases do not have limitations. You can choose everything you want. Zillions of them. The only crucial difference is manufacturing quality.
Forget itx, it is dead in classic layout by GPU size. M-Atx is new normal.
Do not waste time. Make compatible and go.

You can look at and wait for Dan's A3 case if you're insistent on mATX.
Such passion, such well formed arguments and facts, I am sure Dan will be moved to tears and will scrap all progress so far just so he can accommodate your desires and even send you a free case in the end just to thanks you for the grace bestowed upon us with your comments. We are truly blessed to have you here warspitebatleshit.
Many of these chinese 15L mATX cases have many limitations for CPU cooling or GPU support. The only way to do mATX in 15L and support RTX 4080/4090 is a sandwich based layout.
The smallest possible mATX case including the following features:
- classic hardware layout
- 280 AIO support
- tower heatsinks up to 145mm in height
- SFX and SFX-L support
- GPU with an height up to 145mm (like RTX 4080/4090)
would be 166 x 271 x 390 (WxHxL) = 17.5 L
I think the right way to do mATX is with ATX PSU and 360 AIO support. With the A3-mATX i have a case with these features in the pipeline.
The C4-SFX will go in production next week so the time for feature requests is over.
