It does not come with an ATX to SFX adapter. You can however use the top or front fan mounts for your SFX PSU if you also want to use a CPU tower cooler. In any case, you will want to put something in the back to close off the hole.
Hey @joukoariofficial let me know how your build experience will be and the components you'll use. I just finished my pc build, currently doing some temperature testing and coming up with alternative locations for component installation. Components used: - Asus B450m-a ii mobo - Ryzen 5600 - Corsair vengenace lpx 2x16gb 3600mhz - CPU cooler: Thermalright axp120-x67 - GPU: Inno3d rtx 3060ti - Antec high current gamer psu 850W (overkill, but it's what I had) - 512gb m.2 nvme ssd - 1tb sata ssd - 3x 120mm tl-c12 fans My preliminary findings are: - top and bottom fan should be 140mm if possible - airflow is bad and fan position is crucial - I currently have top and bottom fans set as intake and front as exhaust. - Top fan should be all the way to the front or over the CPU cooler (this lowered my temps in benches by 2 degrees) - if you have full size mATX board the front fan installation can be a bit tight because of the 24pin PSU cable - plugging in all the power cables into components is advised as you'll have an easier time routing and connecting those cables to the PSU Whacky mods you can do: - use a dual tower CPU cooler, but only with an SFX power supply (mounted on top), don't have neither of them so can't make a comparison - mount 1-3 SATA SSDs on the back panel through the exhaust holes, I mounted mine here - mount SATA SSD or HDD on the front left panel - 1 SATA SSD could also be resting on top of PSU casing - You can also "mount" 1-2 120mm fans (depending on make and model) on the left side of the case. The fit is quite snug between the PSU and the frame on the front left so no need for any screws or such The biggest issue, besides maybe the side holes being a bit too small, is that the front panel cables are too short if you need to reach the back of the case and you would want to wire them around the bottom fan. Depending on the motherboard you use, the cabling can get clumped once you put the bottom fan in, zip tie(s) will be needed so no cables hit the gpu fan(s).

I didn't know they make laptop style cpu coolers for desktops, that thing is LOW! I found an Akasa am4 cpu cooler and I see it is full copper, is that the one you have? Can you share the temperatures for CPU/GPU that you have with the current setup at idle/load?
Does this have a free sfx to atx psu adapter? I wanna build in this case, but have an sfx psu.

@@jackalldiytech I see, thank you very much for the quick response. Have a blessed day.
gonna build in this case today
Hey @joukoariofficial let me know how your build experience will be and the components you'll use.
I just finished my pc build, currently doing some temperature testing and coming up with alternative locations for component installation.
Components used:
- Asus B450m-a ii mobo
- Ryzen 5600
- Corsair vengenace lpx 2x16gb 3600mhz
- CPU cooler: Thermalright axp120-x67
- GPU: Inno3d rtx 3060ti
- Antec high current gamer psu 850W (overkill, but it's what I had)
- 512gb m.2 nvme ssd
- 1tb sata ssd
- 3x 120mm tl-c12 fans
My preliminary findings are:
- top and bottom fan should be 140mm if possible
- airflow is bad and fan position is crucial
- I currently have top and bottom fans set as intake and front as exhaust.
- Top fan should be all the way to the front or over the CPU cooler (this lowered my temps in benches by 2 degrees)
- if you have full size mATX board the front fan installation can be a bit tight because of the 24pin PSU cable
- plugging in all the power cables into components is advised as you'll have an easier time routing and connecting those cables to the PSU
Whacky mods you can do:
- use a dual tower CPU cooler, but only with an SFX power supply (mounted on top), don't have neither of them so can't make a comparison
- mount 1-3 SATA SSDs on the back panel through the exhaust holes, I mounted mine here
- mount SATA SSD or HDD on the front left panel
- 1 SATA SSD could also be resting on top of PSU casing
- You can also "mount" 1-2 120mm fans (depending on make and model) on the left side of the case. The fit is quite snug between the PSU and the frame on the front left so no need for any screws or such
The biggest issue, besides maybe the side holes being a bit too small, is that the front panel cables are too short if you need to reach the back of the case and you would want to wire them around the bottom fan.

@@jackalldiytech Yeah it's copper, on idle cpu is 40-50 degrees Celsius, and on load it is 60-80C.
Gpu temp is 30-50C only.
