The same orientation as in the photo, I thought I could flip it 180 but it didn't feel right even with the Corsair LPX ram, you would need to install RAM with no heat spreaders for it to fit the other way comfortably. Yes 3700x stock non-eco.
Just FYI - I re-mounted the AXP-100 and temps are much better, pretty great for this form factor i'd say? Also removed the rounded screws and replaced them for the smaller in fan flat head screws as well to sort it touching the side panel.

Oh wow I'm such an idiot - I completely forgot the rear fan is at the right hand side of the card... would have helped if I checked that earlier.
I think there will be plenty airflow even with HDD installed to be honest.
Back to ordering FE for me it is!
1. how was the build process, did you have any trouble and was manual understandable?
Manual was great - the only thing I found tricky was not realising the 3 different screw types as they're very similar but it was nothing major.
2. how are you satisfied with the build quality?
Build quality...
First build complete, fans still to be replaced, cable management sorted and a shiny new 3000 series GPU but that's it for now!
