Be careful of windowed panel...pretty but it’s downgrading exhaust capability (especially your small sf600)..

2nd this, flip the PSU around so fan is toward motherboard, and possibly get a top mount exhaust fan.
Definitely fellas. With the vented panel I have now I get good results with the psu breathing fresh air. Flip and fan up top it is when running the windowed panel.
Thanks for the suggestions

sup guys, built this pc in January and have been slowing polishing it up. Temps have greatly improved since Ive flipped the case. I added fans in the front to further reduce the temperatures while the side panel is on. Still have a couple little things to finish up like getting a custom window made, but for the most part the case is done
if anybody wants to view the progress pictures from over the year, I have more pictures linked below

There are a few screw holes that no longer line up, but the important pieces bolt right back up. Had to dremel out a couple spots to get the case to fit right. Also, the front panel did have a larger gap between the top panel. But I was able to solve this by using double stick tape on the top panel

How important are fan filters and what's the impact on cooling perf in a dual rad set up?
Noticed a few in this thread recommended. The below and another that someone mentioned was too restrictive.

Actually, I've decided to remove it from the front one! The filter was very good, but for my tight config was too restrictive!
I just used the "blackfriday" code to get myself the chrome feet I didn't order before. In 5 more weeks I will be back in America for an Xmas visit and will pick up this beauty. I cannot wait! My build will be a dead simple air cooled one as I have neither the skills nor the patience for the beautiful custom loops that people have shown. I love the look of those setups (!) but I know I'd never see it through.
My only problem now is deciding what to do about a video card! Was tempted by a deal on a Vega 64 but realised it draws way too much power. Something will click I'm sure.

Welcome to the club!
About Vega 64, there are some beefy aircooled version...after it's « not » the most efficient gpu on the market..

I’ve never been a big fan of most air filters. All the ones I’ve used felt like they were too restrictive and caused air recirculating inside my case. I just clean my rig every couple months with some canned air. Of course, I don’t have pets that lay on my case either !!!
!!!
Also do not run air filters on any of my PCs. Let it breathe and clean as needed.
Personally a huge fan of the Vega 64. However it really needs tweaking for maximum efficiency.
If you have a Vega 64 budget and power and ease of use are a concern —- 1070ti or 1080.
The Corsair SF450 can push those and a decent CPU.
In what sense is it the most efficient GPU ?About Vega 64, there are some beefy aircooled version...after it's the most efficient gpu on the market..
Oooops i forgot a « not » in my sentence...let me reword...
Vega 64 is NOT the most efficient gpu on the market ..
Sorry and thanks for notice..
Looking to pick up a Cerberus with the backfriday discount but have a couple questions on compatibility I couldn't find on the product page. I plan on buying a sfx psu within the next month or two but I was wondering if I could still mount my atx psu until then. Does the the Cerberus come with an atx plate when ordered with the SFX internal mounting? I know this might be a stupid question but I figure since its $10 dollars cheaper to only get the atx plate that maybe its included in the other configuration.
Once I buy a sfx psu and mount it internally can I mount a 3.5" drive cage in the area for a rear exhaust fan?

Will not be able to mount the ATX without the ATX kit. Send us an email when you check out though I'll see if we have any I can pull of demo chassis or rework parts to send to you to fill you for the time being.
The HDD kit does not fit on the venting of the rear plate in the SFX kit.
Sorry both are no lol, glad you asked before purchase!
You can always email our [email protected] question too for any fit check help too, we're happy to get the right answers for you.
