Managed to snag a B-Stock N-ATX v2, so while the P-ATX v3 is great, the CPU cooler limit might be too much for my 5950X.

Full album link here.



Not much trouble building the case and in the case, it being bigger than the P-ATX, it was very familar. Thermals wise, the AXP120-x67 is one of the best cooler for the N-ATX. There are tests in the main thread for the N-ATX v2.

Some pictuers of the test build before closing the panels and don't mind the ketchup and mustard cables from the Sunon fans. Doesn't exactly drop temperatures drastically, but seems to push air out in a more directed manner from the CPU and GPU.




All in all, a fantastic case!

Specifications (N-ATX v2)
  • Case: SFFTime N-ATX v2 Black
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte X570S Aero G
  • Ram: 64(4x16)GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 3600 CL18
  • PSU: Great Wall Hunter Nirvana 850W 80+Gold
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB Midnight Black
  • Cooler: Thermalright AXP120-x67 (with Thermalright TL-B12S fan swap)
  • Case Fan (Side Exhaust): Thermalright TL-B12S
  • Case Fan (3x Top Exhaust, 2x Bottom Exhaust): Sunon MagLev 40x20mm
  • Storage: 1x MSI Spatium NVMe 1TB

Also, at the same time, with the P-ATX now vacant and selling my 11400 with the B560I board, I moved the FormD T1 reference build over.

Finally getting around to this post.

Upgraded to a 4090, after a small scare with my RX 6800 XT, where I thought it died for a while. Actually, I also had to RMA the first 4090, as it suddenly died. No burnt pins on either the GPU side or the cable side, but thankfully the RMA with the local distributor was painless. One for one replacment on the spot.

Along the way, and I also upgraded the Great Wall Nirvana 850W to an ATX 3.0 PSU, the FSP Hydro G Pro 1000W, and with custom cables that made the cable management way easier. Changed out the three top mounted Sunon fans for actually good fans, Noctua NF-A40x20, and the two bottom Sunons for a Thermalright TL-B8.

Now the build is way more quiet. And fully maxed out.

Personally, I really like the look of a SFF case that is fully loaded, and packed to the brim. The ATX PSU at 150mm in depth is really the maximum that one should have if using a very tall card. As a full true 3 slot 4090, this is card is one of the only ones that will fit into the the N-ATX v2 while using an ATX board. Full ATX Motherboard, ATX PSU, 3 Slots 4090, full thickness 25mm case fans, making full use of (almost) all of the case.



Temperatures wise, the 4090 is one cool beast. Overbuilt and massive, and with a slight undervolt, temperatures while gaming at 3440x1400 on max settings in Darktide, temperatures don't go above 65C, with my ambient being usually 30C to 32C.



Small little problem I faced, it's either the PSU or the provided power cable. Probably a combination of both, but 95% on the PSU. What's the issue? The placement of the on/off switch of the FSP PSU is covered by the power extension cable. Not too sure if it is noticeable in the picture clearly though.



Some other pictures of the setup, and testing before closing the panels:

That is pretty amazing. Any idea of what power consumption could the 4090 have while reaching 65º?
