Photon — Internal Overview
This page is a reference for what’s inside your Photon. It’s for orientation — “what does this machine actually contain?” — not for service procedures.
What’s inside
Section titled “What’s inside”Photon packs workstation-class hardware into an SFF chassis:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9000 series, cooled by a 240 mm all-in-one liquid cooler
- Memory: 2 × DDR5 DIMM slots, up to 128 GB
- Graphics: 1 × full-length PCIe GPU, up to 4-slot wide and 600 W
- Storage: 2 × NVMe M.2 slots (1 × Gen 4, 1 × Gen 5)
- Power supply: 1000 W Platinum SFX
- Cooling: 4 × Noctua Industrial 120 mm chassis fans + the CPU AIO
Airflow
Section titled “Airflow”Photon uses front-to-rear airflow. Cool air is drawn in through the front intakes, passes over the components, and exhausts through the rear. Keep the front and rear of the machine unobstructed — a blocked intake will make the fans work harder and raise noise.
