Join the Discussion - To hell with nVidia's definition of SFF ready. What should be the actual SFF standard?

Hey everyone,

I recently watched a friend’s YouTube build log, and I was seriously impressed by the quality of their ITX gaming setup. They put together a high-performance AMD system in the new NCASE M2 Grater, and I wanted to share it here for anyone interested in small form factor (SFF) builds.

Hardware Specs:
Case: NCASE M2 Grater
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B850-I
RAM: TeamGroup T-Create Expert 32GB DDR5-6000
GPU: Nvidia RTX 4090 FE
Storage: WD_BLACK SN850X
Cooling: Noctua NH-D12L & Arctic P14 Slim PWM PST (140mm)
PSU: Corsair SF1000
The build process was well-documented, and the final result looks super clean. The Noctua NH-D12L fits nicely in the NCASE M2 while keeping the 9800X3D cool, and the Corsair SF1000 provides plenty of power for future GPU upgrades. The overall airflow optimization with the Arctic P14 Slim also seemed really effective.

If you're considering an ITX build with AMD, this might be a great reference!

Would love to hear thoughts from other SFF enthusiasts—what do you think of this setup?
