Will do. Should have an Nf-A9 by the weekend and will give that a go.
So, the NfA9x25 by itself wasn't enough. Had to build a test shroud like the following to prevent gpu air from going into the CPU cooler, as well as because the axp90 copper blowes the air and exhausts through the left/side and not the top/bottom, have a shroud on 3 sides at which point my temps are in control. Currently working on 3d printing the shroud (once I can find someone to do it) and also 3d printing a 120mm to 92mm adaptor (once I find someone to print it) to see if I can install a NFA12x15 for even more airflow.
Np. Will keep updated as I do more. The case is excellent, just an unfortunate combination of components on my end that forces hot air into the CPU cooler.
Update: 120mm to 92mm adaptor with a NF A12 x 14 decreased gaming temps by 7 degrees. Using a duct made from cardboard as well.
Going to work on a duct that's 3d printed... but have a problem I am hoping I can get help with.
Somehow, I stripped the head of the screw on the back of the side panel and can't remove it (guess I tightened too much). Any suggestions on how to get it out to open it up?
That is nice to hear! Regarding the screw it would probably be best to cut a slot in it and then use flathead screwdriver. These panel screws don't have to be tightened to much
I drilled it out. Can you tell me what size screws they were? I am going to buy thumb screws at the same size.That is nice to hear! Regarding the screw it would probably be best to cut a slot in it and then use flathead screwdriver. These panel screws don't have to be tightened to much
They are M3x4. Just make sure they are M3 and the rear screw that holds the right panel shouldn't be longer than 4mm, very important.

Hi, it is definitely possible and some customers have done it, but it's not straightforward or a supported configuration.
So I purchased the 15cm straight pcie 4.0 riser as linkup suggested on its compatibility chart for the P-ATX. Turns out the “straight” option isn’t correct. In order to avoid another expensive mistake can someone tell me what the correct configuration is and what would be the perfect length?

Also ATD link, but 1x is short, so I would just use 16x riser and you can insert 1x card in it no problem.
Fine, you just need to leave enough clearance above the left (intake panel)
TBH I'm not sure if using a 1x capture card in the 16x physical slots would reduce how it runs. Typically my mobo (x570) would run like below. Just trying to make sure Top runs at it's max rated speed.
Top, x16
Middle, x8, x8
Bottom, x8, x8, x4
