No problems assembling the case. Using a short fan extension cable to the CPU fan header on the Aorus MB allowed me to easily swap out the CPU cooler fan as this header is not accessible once the PSU is installed. The 140mm case fan has significant noise at higher RPM. The front panel slots do not extend high or low enough to allow the 140mm fan to draw air smoothly. Even the 120mm front case fan(s) are a bit louder than I would like at higher RPM. The Phanteks T30 fits perfectly as a single front case fan - I only have one of these. I think I would need custom shorter/more flexible PSU cables to try to fit two of these in the case. I am also awaiting a 202mm length GPU that should arrive tomorrow and will add additional photos. I will be trying a downdraft cooler shortly. For fitment of the Silver Soul 135 cooler - the top panel does not touch the CPU fan when using the stock fan, or the Arctic P12, for the Scythe Wonder Snail and Scythe Kaze Flex Black the top panel touches the anti-vibration pads but can be screwed down with slight pressure. For the Noctua A12x25 the upper anti vibration pads must be removed and the the top panel does not touch the fan or cooler. It was nice to see from the testing how well the front to back cooling works with the GPU slot only nearly solid top panel.

[QUOTE="Mark13, post: 265262, member: 21598"] No problems assembling the case. Using a short fan extension cable to the CPU fan header on the Aorus MB allowed me to easily swap out the CPU cooler fan as this header is not accessible once the PSU is installed. The 140mm case fan has significant noise at higher RPM. The front panel slots do not extend high or low enough to allow the 140mm fan to draw air smoothly. Even the 120mm front case fan(s) are a bit louder than I would like at higher RPM. The Phanteks T30 fits perfectly as a single front case fan - I only have one of these.
