I’m curious to see how much more performance can be wrung out of the nh-u12a by experimenting with a variety of fan configs. Additionally Ali’s new test setup in the above vid has high cpu thermal output relative to the gpu, but I imagine an 8-core/16-thread paired with an rtx 3080 (more of an enthusiast gamer build) would pose a slightly different challenge in that you'd want to minimize heat-soak of the u12a from the gpu exhaust. If that were the case then a positive pressure build (both the top and bottom 120mm fans as intake) would feed the u12a fresh air and further encourage gpu exhaust to exit via the side panel. Just a theory but I'm looking forward to doing some testing!
