AKLLA A4V2 in 2025

Hello everyone, coming at 13L, this is my Aklla A4v2 build. It’s running a Ryzen 5 7600 , 16GB of DDR5 @ 5200Mhz, a Zotac Trinity 3080 10GB and a 2TB NM790 Gen 4 drive from Lexar. The motherboard is a MSI B650i ITX AM5, this one currently has audio issues (pop before audio starts and stop) and I will RMA for repair after my semester ends. I have a Thermalright AMD-ASF Contact/sealing frame under the current AMD stock cooler , which is not enough in my use case (mid 90’s during gaming). I’m changing it to a Noctua NH-L9x65 after I just received my spacers from Noctua cause I lost one of them.

Alright, to the specs of the case, it has a variable/adjustable spine as it’s a sandwich layout case, from a site , it states that it can be adjusted for 50mm/75mm or 58/67mm GPU thickness and Cooler height, the Noctua one I’m using is a 65mm one. The max GPU length is 330mm and my gpu is 317.8mm and it barely fits, I had to insert it from an angle, either from the top or front but it fits tight and snug. I’ve recently changed to a gen4 riser after I had some problems with a gen3 one as it kept black screening and stuff and so far the gen4 works fine, before this , I had to force gen3 on the mobo with the gen3 riser and now I just leave it at default.

The parts selection were mostly chosen with budget in mind, This is a semi brand new build, my 3080 was something I had before and same with the casing and power supply. Speaking of PSU’s, This case can fit ATX/SFX/SFX-L PSU’s with their respective brackets. I’m using a 700W 80PLUS GOLD SFX-L PSU from a Hyte Revolt 3, It had my old build in there but it was too heavy to my liking so I took out the PSU and I’m planning to sell the case w/o the PSU. The GPU runs cool, around 70-78c under load and the CPU gets hot with the stock cooler.

The only complaint of this case is the lack of any I/O , the case only has a power button. The case is heavily scratched and it’s not in the best shape but I picked it up for like 50 bucks on Carousell and at the time it seemed like a really good deal and I’m very satisfied with it. One thing to note is with my current setup, I’m not able to install any exhaust/intake fans, I used to run a 120x15 ID-Cooling slim fan above the PSU section that overlaps the GPU abit but now I can’t as the PCIE cables will touch the blades.

Sorry for the wall of text as I’m on mobile but I’m open to questions if you guys have any!
