You can have a front and bottom mounted radiator in the Cerberus. (EK-CoolStream Classic SE 240 or another radiator 273mm long or less)
But that case might be bigger than you're after.
It's PWM-controlled, and 10%/1850RPM is the lowest it will go. I have two of these, one of them initially had a hum at 1800-ish RPM, but when I ran it at 2000RPM it went away. Nowadays the hum at 1800 RPM is gone too.
Keep the sizes the same, it's big enough as it is. I'd like to see the removable bottom from the S620 brought over to the Cerberus if possible. Also the improved mounting system for the top fans that case has. Oh and the larger cutouts in the motherboard tray.
Basically I'd just like to see the...
I'm reasonably sure I had the SX800 1.2 version, and I would not recommend it. Like you say, it turns on based on load, so short bursty workloads will trigger dramatic changes in fan speed, even when the PSU isn't hot. With a 3090 and 5800x you will be affected by this power-based fan profile...
I chose the Gigabyte because of its slightly better power delivery (probably won't matter unless you want to overclock) and the Asrock board has some clearance issues with certain CPU coolers. Undervolting isn't hard, setting a lower power limit is simpler and won't cause potential instability...
A 2080Ti can pull 300W, a 10900K will pull 250W for the first 12 seconds of heavy workloads. This means that you might trip the PSUs protection (on a 600W model) when doing a heavy CPU+GPU task (had that happen with that exact combo).
Unless you need the TB3 support, I think the Aorus Z490i by...
Connect the radiator fans to the X63 instead. Control the fan speed based on water temperature using NZXT software. Run the pump at the highest speed (fixed) where you can't hear it.
I couldn't get q-flash to work while the board was hooked up to a Corsair SF600, but when I switched to my older Silverstone SFX-L 500W PSU it worked without issues.
The entire board is shifted down 1 slot (motherboard stand-offs would have been moved as well), else there's no way to fit the radiator at the top. So I think that explains why you don't see this more often.
I tried two SX800-LTI units before giving up (and the SF750 was released anyway). The fan was very noisy, made a ticking sound when idle and the fan profile was all over the place. It was seemingly directly tied to PSU load with no ramp-up/down time, making the fan speed and noise very erratic...
