Completed SFFtime presents: P-ATX v2 - 10 L case with improved ATX, AIO and 3-slot support!

[riba2233]

Did you hit 30 orders yet? I want that surprise!

Hi, not yet, so you can go ahead and you will receive the gift Thank you!

I'm looking to jump into the sff game with my current atx hardware - notable points are 2x 3.5" HDDs, 2x 2.5" drives, 1x external drive, full ATX psu semi-modular, corsair H70 AIO with 120mm fan, and a 2 slot EVGA 1070sc gpu (267mm long)

Would these components fit, and is it possible to keep the aio cooling block above the cpu socket to prevent bubbles?

As I looked at the specs, my aio is a h80 (120mm x 152mm x 42mm) and psu is a CS850M (150mm W x 160mm L x 86mm T)
Would you consider an 11 liter variant case that's 30mm longer and 10mm thicker to accommodate all full-sized components?

Hi, if you want to fit all of your components (mbo, cpu, gpu, all the drives) in P-ATX, you are going to have to change the cpu cooler and PSU. You can pick some cpu cooler up to 59mm tall, and some SFX psu up to 100mm long.

N-ATX will be 14 L and compatible with ATX mbo and psu.

Can you tell me what CPU and motherboard you have so I can recommend you a CPU cooler?

Here are a few pictures of a white case:

Hope you like it! It looks even better in real life

My cpu is an intel Xeon W3680 (135w) and motherboard is an ATX gigabyte x58A-UD3R v1.0. What is different with the N-ATX?

Is there any v3 planned for now?
Im a lucky buyer of the V1, planning to upgrade my 2080 super to a 3080.
The only problem is that I dont want to go back to air cooling for my CPU.

Shortests 3080 are FE (wich are 285mm in length...).
I got my Asetek 92mm AIO and I would like to keep AIO option for CPU.
Any advice?

Is the V2 case any better for that built?
Could be nice to see a brand new version that can fit both 3080 and AIO...

I guess that CPU could be cooled with some of the larger air coolers that fit in the P-ATX V2, maybe with a bit of voltage reduction if you have some longer, 100% load workloads. MBO fits, no problems there.

Hi,

In theory you could fit 120mm or 92mm aio with 80 mm fan on them with 285mm long 2-slot card. One of the benefits of V2 over V1 is that you can fit up to 30mm radiator behind the 2-slot GPU, so your gpu can cover a part of radiator. And 3080 fits good in that use case since it's rear fan will also push some air through the radiator.

I don't plan on increasing the size of P-ATX any further, for anything larger I will have N-ATX.

Or perhabs 2 70mm fans stacked vertically for even more room length wise on the GPU ?
These seems to be very quiet and have decent airflow and pressure.

Yeah that's right, I also thought about two fans stacked, but maybe some 60mm since you can at least use some radiator mounting holes in that case, and I would pick some thicker fans since you have a lot of space in that direction. You can even fit 38 mm fans lol

Ok these are extreme, but noctua and sunon both have some nice 60x25 fans.

Pulled the trigger on one. 3 slot unrestricted GPU size won me over. ? And if i use two 60mm fans on my aio, i might be able to fit it even with a 305mm card. Stay tuned ?

Great to hear, thank you ?

BTW please be aware that the "part of gpu over radiator" is only for 2-slot gpu's. What gpu do you have?

 

[Fa5en]

Currently a Zotac RTX 2070 mini, but will buy a RTX 3080 of some sort. And noted, only 2 slot GPU's.

*Edit* nevermind, you already answered this further up...

So in theory a 3080 FE card would fit with a 120mm AIO using two 60mm fans vertically?

Yes, that's right, or one 80mm if you find a way to mount it

Will you add an option for a magnetic filter mesh on the sides or inside?

Hi, if you want to have dust filters you will have to custom order them from someone that makes them. Panels on the case are steel so magnetic filters are viable option, and there is enough gap.

I don't make or recommend them for a few reasons, firstly they impede the airflow a lot, and I designed this case to have high airflow and that is one of it's main qualities. Second, because of this thin airflow and all components being vertical, there is not much surface for the dust to settle on, you might get a bit of it behind the fans, but cleaning it a bit every 3 months or so should do the trick.

Would this fit behind a 2 slot full lenght GPU?:

Not really, it's 37 mm and there is around 31 mm of space behind the gpu..

That is awesome to hear!


It means that other will be getting their cases pretty soon.


I would like to ask anyone who bought the V2 to share pics of their setup, and any feedback, that would mean a world to me

Also if anyone had experience with V1, I would like to hear feedback on differences, how do you like the improvements etc.
