@@josephyang3260 The AIO recommendation was lousy tbh. It doesn't need that much cooling, I believe they officially mentioned a 280mm radiator. A 240mm was proven to be more than sufficient. Aircooling it would be fine, just not aircooling it on such a dinky heatsink. I had an L9a on a Ryzen 1600 in a similar sized case and it could not keep the temps under 80c.
@@theunholybakery1990 It's possible in the sense that the CPU will throttle performance down to compensate for the insufficient cooling. The L9a just isn't cut out to deal with the thermal density of the Ryzen 3950X (or 3900X). Even Noctua's own recommendations on their website state that the clock speed will be below the base clocks. Also, no. The 3950X is not like a 95W TDP. 6 of the 16 cores under load will draw around 105w, 8 cores sees that go up to 120w, 10 cores will see it peak at 145w and beyond that the power draw will taper off back down to 125w as the voltage and clockspeeds drop down under a full load. See Anandtech for the source on those numbers. The L9a is meant for "65w TDP" CPUs, with good ventilation a "95w TDP" CPU is doable. Good ventilation is not having a glass panel less than 20mm from the fan blades nor is it a single choked intake from the bottom of the case.

This build is painful to watch. Tiny CPU cooler for a CPU that has no business being in an SFF case. And putting glass on a GPU that definitely needs that air. It is going to boil.
OOOF... those thermals are going to be terrifying. Air cooling (despite Noctua) on a 3950X with the glass sides? Optimum Tech tested this case and thermals were brutal unless you were running an AIO (still hot), and he used a 9900K. I built a 9900K / 2080Ti ITX system in a Ghost S1 for a friend, and we needed the tophat and a Kraken X52 (with aftermarket Noctua fans) to keep it within good cooling spec, and it has way better ventilation than this case. The Mjolnir looks nice with good potential, but put your thermals as priority 1.
Finally a beautiful case that has a removable chassis. I have the external gpu Razer box and it has this feature as well, but I’ve always wondered how perfectly that would work for an sffpc build. Buying this case as soon as it’s ready
