Log P-ATX v4 Build Log & Benchmarks

BTW: Here is for some interesting things - apparently one can modify the SI-100 to create a setup similar to the NH-L12S Ghost Edition, by removing the single stabilization wire underneath the cooler, and adding a 92 to 120 fan adapter. Supposedly this will keep a 14700k at around 83 C under full load. Found over at r/sffpc

Regarding the CPU cooler, the AXP90-53 has the best heatsink for tiny 92mm cpu cooler, even if its assembly process is total BS (for my point of view). However, DO NOT USE it with a slim fan (either 15mm native fan of 14mm Noctua) inside the P-ATX. Why? With 10-15mm gap you will recycle hot internal for sure. Forget the fan duck as you can put a 25mm thick fan instead. @riba2233 is always considering extra space to avoid air turbulence. You would need to use cable ties, metal wire to maintain the fan on the heatsink. Personnally I would prefer using the ID-Cooling IS-53-XT, performing a little bit worse than the AXP90, but with a top notch assembly mechanism, and you just need 30mm m3 screww to fit a 25mm fan...easy to find.

Two additions to this: If one gets a version of the AXP-53 WITHOUT the 25 mm additional brackets, one can get it instead from eg. the Silver Soul 110 - or just about any other 92 mm-based tower cooler by Thermalright.

Second addition: Best price to performance for 92 x 25 mm is currently the Arctic P9 Max. Personally I prefer the noise profile of Arctic fans over Noctua, but thats only applicable if you properly fine-tune the fan curves. If kept at stock curves, the Max versions can become annoyingly loud.
