The 2TB capacity gives professionals substantially more room for active work while maintaining fast NVMe performance.

Premium 360mm Liquid Cooling

The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360mm provides high-performance cooling for the Core i9-14900KF.

The large radiator is well suited to sustained high-load workloads such as:

• Rendering
• Encoding
• Compiling
• Simulation
• 3D processing
• Long editing sessions

This helps maintain stable processor performance under heavy professional use.

Professional Z790 Platform

The Gigabyte Z790 D AX motherboard provides a strong platform for this workstation, including:

• DDR5 support
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• NVMe storage support
• Modern USB connectivity
• Expansion options
• High-speed networking

It gives the system a solid foundation for both current professional workloads and future upgrades.

Fractal Design North XL – Professional Full-Tower Design

The system is housed in the Fractal Design North XL Mesh, giving it a clean, premium appearance suitable for:

• Engineering offices
• Design firms
• Creative studios
• Professional home workspaces

The larger chassis also provides excellent room for:

• 360mm liquid cooling
• Large graphics cards
• Additional storage
• Future expansion
• Clean cable management

850W Gold Fully Modular Power Supply

Power is supplied by the MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W 80+ Gold fully modular power supply.

The 850W capacity provides the power required for the i9 and RTX 5080 combination while leaving room for future expansion.

The fully modular design also helps improve:

• Airflow
• Cable management
• Internal cleanliness
• Upgrade flexibility

Built for Creative Professionals

The Engineering & Creative Powerhouse is also an excellent fit for:
