This is what i did with a 5600x : i kept the L9A with fan duct, and added 2 120mm at the top. Not temp issue, even with a 6900xt. And not loud either. Very happy :-) Of course it might be different with another CPU.

Looks amazing and a good update to my Dan A4 :-) I'm a bit lost by the comment about the air tunner for the FE : it sounds as it's not as efficient as anticipated ? Is 2°C the real value ?

IMHO: as an owner of the silver version, i like 1st model better. Just from a look perspective. I dislike having two colors front and top. Also i would prefer to have the possibility add 1 or more spacers on one side, instead of having one +10 spacer max only. Anyway it would still be a good...

+1 for optional spacers definitely ! That would be more agile, and opportunity to have the case evolve with our needs overtime :-) Maybe also for the CPU side ?

A bit offtopic, but since we were discussing X570i chipset temps a few days ago, it's woth noting that according to a Gibabyte tech we may use the wrong PCH temps info on HWinfo: https://www.overclock.net/forum/28080278-post1039.html So it might not be an issue to keep the NVME on the slot...

According to all advices i read before buying : yes, definitely. It makes sense to allow better air flow from bottom to top. I don't know the resulting temperatures & noise differences though. First version of the Ventus had horizontal fins i think, but they changed for V2.

@MAB941009 , thanks for the information. Actually i experienced the same with the EVGA card, but nothing too serious.

I got the EVGA 2070 super XC instead in the end, so can't say!

@dondan, it seems that Zotac modified the Twin Fan cards between the 2070/80 initial series and the new Super series. With the backplate going further past the io. Do you think it matters ? old: new:

Thanks for the quick answer. BTW about the 4.0 3M riser i would vote for an ugrade kit option as well, even though i know it was not the initial question. I believe also that the new version should come with a 4.0 riser; it's a premium case.

@Suolaaja and @dondan, why is temperature an issue for the front M.2 and chipset on the X570 ? Isn't the chipset fan there to mitigate that ? BTW Dondan, is there a reason you use the back M.2 instead of the front one ? I'm still hesitating between the Giga X570 or B450.

Hi, Just to say i received my silver v4, and god it's a great looking piece of work ! I have no part yet, since i wanted to see the case for real, and check how it would be accepted at home :-) Coming from a laptop... Now that that step is passed, i can move ahead :-) Looking forward for build...
