Elite Series: Odin

4K Gaming Workstation Ready X870 Platform

Best for 4K gaming, workstation use, heavy multitasking, and maximum headroom.

Odin is the flagship Valhalla built to order PC. It is built for customers who want the strongest platform in the lineup and plan to use their system for more than casual gaming.

Built around an AMD AM5 X870 platform, Odin is the right direction for high end users who want stronger motherboard features, greater long term expansion room, and a system that can handle both serious gaming and serious work. It is made for 4K gaming, ultrawide displays, multi monitor setups, streaming, rendering, video editing, 3D work, CAD, and demanding daily workloads.

Odin makes the most sense when paired with higher tier graphics options like the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090, or with Ryzen 9 X3D processors for customers who want strong gaming performance and workstation capability in the same machine. This is not just a system for peak FPS. Odin is built for sustained performance under real load.

Every Odin uses a 360mm liquid AIO to help maintain stable boost clocks during long gaming sessions, rendering, editing, or heavy multitasking. It is the system for buyers who want the most complete Valhalla platform, not the smallest footprint or the most budget focused configuration.

For gaming first users who do not need workstation headroom, Thor is the more focused option. For esports players who only care about high refresh 1080p or 1440p performance, Berserker is the sharper weapon. Odin is for those who want the throne.

Common configuration direction:

For high end gaming, a Ryzen 7 9800X3D or Ryzen 7 9850X3D with an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 makes sense. For mixed gaming and productivity, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D or 9950X3D2 is the stronger direction.

Conqueror Series: Thor

High Refresh Premium Gaming B850 Platform

Best for premium gaming, high refresh 1440p, strong 4K capability, and showcase setups.

Thor is the premium gaming choice in the Valhalla built to order lineup. It is still a high end system, but it is more gaming focused than Odin.

The key difference is the platform direction. Odin is the flagship X870 workstation and gaming build. Thor uses a B850 class AM5 platform, making it a strong fit for customers who want premium gaming performance without paying for workstation level features they may never use.

Thor is built for high FPS 1440p gaming, competitive performance, and strong 4K capability when configured with the right GPU. It also has the visual presence customers expect from a premium gaming PC, with the Lian Li O11 Vision layout, glass presentation, 360mm AIO cooling, and screen focused design.

Thor is not simply a weaker Odin. For many gamers, it is the smarter high end choice. It delivers the speed, cooling, and presentation expected from a premium gaming desktop without drifting into workstation territory.

Customers focused on heavy rendering, CAD, 3D workloads, or maximum long term platform headroom are usually better served by Odin. Customers who care more about competitive value than premium presentation may find Berserker more direct. Thor is for the gamer who wants performance and presence in the same system.

Common configuration direction:

For most premium gaming setups, a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 5080 is the sweet spot. An RTX 5090 makes more sense for heavier 4K gaming, ray tracing, or multi display use. Ryzen 9 X3D options are better for customers who also run heavier productivity workloads.

Chassis dimensions: 17.57” H x 11.32” W x 17.62” D

Small form factor gaming and streaming PC with high performance and RTX graphics

Traveler Series: Mimir

Mini ITX Compact Small Footprint

Best for the smallest Valhalla gaming setup, minimalist desks, Mini ITX builds, and compact performance.

Mimir is the smallest built to order Valhalla PC. It is built for customers who want serious gaming performance without the size of a normal tower.

Built around the Fractal Design Terra, Mimir uses a Mini ITX platform in a compact chassis with premium aluminum construction and wood accents. It is ideal for clean desks, minimalist setups, apartments, dorms, LAN events, and users who want a system that feels refined instead of oversized.

Because Mimir is a true small form factor PC, component selection matters more. Cooling, GPU size, airflow, power supply fitment, and internal layout all need to be handled carefully. That is part of what makes it different from a standard tower.

Mimir is the only model in this guide that does not use an AIO. Instead, it uses a low profile performance cooler selected around the Mini ITX layout. It is not meant to be the highest wattage workstation or the easiest system to upgrade forever. It is meant to deliver capable desktop gaming performance in the smallest Valhalla footprint.

For buyers who want compact performance but need more cooling room, stronger CPU options, or a more flexible workstation style layout, Loki is the better step up. Mimir is for the customer who wants the smallest Valhalla PC and understands that compact design comes with tighter hardware limits.

Common configuration direction:

Mimir works best with efficient gaming parts. Ryzen X3D CPUs paired with an RTX 5060, RTX 5070, RX 9070, or RX 9070 XT give it strong 1080p and 1440p gaming performance without forcing the build beyond what the chassis is meant to handle.

Chassis dimensions: 8.58” H x 6.02” W x 13.50” D

Traveler Series: Loki

Micro ATX Compact Power 240mm AIO

Best for compact gaming, portable workstation use, smaller desks, and strong performance without a full tower.

Loki is the compact system for users who still want real performance. It is smaller than a traditional full size gaming tower, but it offers more flexibility than Mimir.

Built around a Micro ATX style layout, Loki gives the system more room for cooling, stronger components, and future upgrades than a very small Mini ITX build. It is a strong option for apartment setups, shared spaces, creators who move between work areas, students, LAN setups, or anyone who wants a powerful PC that is easier to place and move than a large tower.

Unlike Mimir, Loki uses liquid cooling. Its 240mm AIO gives it more thermal headroom for stronger CPU options while keeping the system compact. This makes Loki one of the most balanced systems in the lineup for users who want gaming and workstation capability without committing to a large desktop footprint.

Loki does not offer the maximum cooling and expansion room of Odin or Thor, and it is not as tiny as Mimir. Its strength is the middle ground: small enough to move, large enough to breathe, and capable enough to work hard.

Common configuration direction:

For compact gaming, a Ryzen 7600X3D or 9800X3D with an RTX 5070 or RX 9070 XT is a strong fit. For compact workstation use, Ryzen 9 options make more sense, with the GPU selected around the workload.

Chassis dimensions: 12.05” H x 7.64” W x 17.44” D

RTX 5080 high FPS gaming PC built for 1440p and competitive play

Performance Series: Berserker

High FPS Low Latency Competitive

Best for low latency gaming, esports, high refresh 1080p, and high FPS 1440p.

Berserker is built for players who care about speed, responsiveness, and competitive performance. It is not trying to be the biggest workstation or the flashiest showpiece. It is built to feel fast.

This series is focused on high refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming, especially in shooters, ranked games, esports titles, and competitive multiplayer games where steady FPS and low latency matter more than excess hardware. With Ryzen X3D processors, DDR5 6000MHz memory, Gen4 NVMe storage, modern GPU options, strong airflow, and a 360mm AIO, Berserker is designed around practical gaming performance.

Berserker is the more direct performance choice for players who care more about frame pacing, input response, and high refresh monitors than glass-heavy presentation. It still has strong cooling and modern hardware, but the purpose is sharper: get into the game, stay responsive, and keep performance consistent.

Players focused on cinematic 4K ultra settings, RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 class GPUs, or workstation loads will find a better fit higher in the lineup. Thor is the more premium gaming tower, while Odin is the stronger workstation and 4K flagship. Berserker is for the competitive player who wants speed without ceremony.

Common configuration direction:

For pure esports, the Ryzen 7600X3D can already make sense. For the strongest gaming performance, Ryzen 7800X3D or 9800X3D is the better route. For 1080p gaming, RTX 5060 or RX 9070 is practical. For stronger 1440p gaming, RTX 5070 or RX 9070 XT is the better fit.

Chassis dimensions: 19.80” H x 9.37” W x 18.98” D

RTX 5060 entry level custom gaming PC built for smooth 1080p gameplay

Initiate Series: Fenrir

First Gaming PC Console Upgrade AM5 Platform

Best for first gaming PCs, console upgrades, 1080p gaming, everyday use, and budget conscious buyers.

Fenrir is the entry point into the Valhalla built to order lineup. It is built for customers who want a real gaming PC without jumping straight into high end pricing.

This is the system for players moving from console to PC, upgrading from an older desktop, buying their first gaming PC, or looking for a machine that can handle modern games, school, work, browsing, and everyday use. Fenrir keeps the build focused, but it is not treated like an afterthought.

With modern AM5 hardware, DDR5 memory, Gen4 NVMe storage, and a 360mm AIO, Fenrir gives customers a stronger foundation than a bare minimum budget PC. It is designed to start strong and leave room to grow.

Fenrir is best kept in its lane: smooth 1080p gaming, capable 1440p performance depending on GPU selection, and a solid daily-use experience. Customers chasing maximum 4K gaming, flagship GPU performance, workstation loads, or compact form factors will find a better fit elsewhere in the lineup. Fenrir is the beginning of the path, not the end of it.

Common configuration direction:

For a strong first gaming PC, a Ryzen 5 7600X or 7600X3D with an RTX 5060 is a smart starting point. The RX 9070 and 32GB of RAM make sense for customers who want more 1440p headroom or better multitasking.

Chassis dimensions: 19.69” H x 9.37” W x 18.70” D
