For those who choose air-cooling, our highest recommendation would be the new Noctua NH-D15 G2. This CPU cooler seems to be tailor-made for the Ghost R1, and while it's incredible to cram such a large CPU cooler in an SFF case, it will keep the most demanding CPUs as cool as a winter breeze.

For those of you opting for liquid-cooling, our top recommendation goes to the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 AIO, or if you want to set up a full custom loop, then a chonker up to 60mm thick 280 (side-mounted) rad, such as the Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis 280GTX, will best cool both CPU and GPU on a single rad.

As unbelievable as it sounds, a 4-slot GPU no longer than 348mm can be installed in the Ghost R1. The full GPU compatibility list for the Ghost R1 can be found here.

The Ghost R1 is designed to fit either a Mini-ITX or Mini-DTX motherboard and an SFX or SFX-L power supply. While the R1 could technically fit a Micro-ATX board size-wise, by choosing smaller components, the R1 offers more airflow and better cooling, but also far less internal cable clutter, keeping the interior clean and easy to maintain and service.

To further reduce cable clutter and increase airflow within the case, these are the preferred custom cable lengths:

24-pin ATX - 250mm
8-pin EPS - 400mm
8-pin PCIe - 200mm (350mm)
12+4-pin 12VHPWR PCIe - 250mm (400mm)

*(cable under GPU)

Depending on the configuration, the Ghost R1 can fit a total of 6 additional fans or 1 x 120mm fan on the back, and up to 2 x 140mm fans on the top, side or bottom of the case.

The best thermal scenario in the Ghost R1 can be achieved in a face-down or flipped orientation (GPU on top) by inverting the intake via a 120mm rear fan through the CPU cooler and exhaust via a side-mounted 140mm fan. This configuration will produce a near-silent build while cooling the most demanding CPUs and GPUs available on the market today.

Yes, the MkIII case components such as TopHats and Grills are all backwards compatible with the case and components based on the previous MkII design.

Ghost S1 can fit CPU coolers up to max 66mm, and RAW S1 can fit CPU coolers up to 77mm height.

For those of you who choose air-cooling to keep your CPU cool in the Ghost S1, our highest recommendation would be an award-winning Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition. This cooler is custom-tailored for the Ghost S1, and while the cooler barely whispers, it still keeps the powerful CPUs frosty.

As for the RAW S1, we'd suggest even more powerful Noctua NH-L12S, or just recently introduced NH-L12Sx77 CPU cooler as our top recommendation. Alternatively, a Thermalright AXP120-X67 with an additional 25mm thick fan is also a very strong choice for the RAW S1.

The Ghost S1 with a volume of only 8.3 liters can fit a dual-slot GPU with a maximum width of 45mm.

However, the RAW S1 will take a full triple-slot GPU with a maximum width of 65mm.

Yes, the Ghost S1 can fit the most popular dual-slot RTX 40 series cards, such as the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4070 SUPER. The full GPU compatibility list for the Ghost S1 can be found here.

Yes. The Cobalt Gen4+ PCIe 4.0 riser cable, that comes included and pre-installed in the Ghost S1 MkIII and RAW S1, can easily run the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards right out of the box.

No. The Ghost S1 and RAW S1 are designed to fit either an SFX or SFX-L power supply.

To reduce cable clutter and increase airflow within the case, these are the preferred custom cable lengths:
24-pin ATX - 140mm
8-pin EPS - 260mm
8-pin PCIe - 220mm
12+4-pin 12VHPWR PCIe - 380mm

Yes. The Ghost S1 can fit up to 1x additional 120x25mm exhaust fan in base XS configuration without a TopHat, mounted directly on the bottom plate, instead of the disc tray.

The RAW S1 will fit 1x 120x25mm exhaust fan, mounted on the rear top fan bracket, and then up to 1x additional 140x25mm exhaust fan on the top frame, instead of the top plate.

Considering the high-density format of the Ghost S1 and RAW S1, it is always recommended to use an exhaust configuration with additional case fans.

The exhaust configuration will create negative pressure inside case and help drive hot air out of the case, which in turn will significantly improve the airflow and thermals of your build.

The Ghost S1 MkIII can fit up to 3x 2.5 inch drives. Up to 2x drives can be placed in the disk tray, and 1x drive can be mounted directly on the spine behind the PSU.

The RAW S1 can fit 1x 2.5 inch drive mounted directly on the spine, behind the PSU.

We suggest cleaning the exterior of the case with a microfiber cloth dipped in a little isopropyl alcohol to keep the exterior surfaces spotless and free of fingerprints.
