I always knew this build would be tight, on paper it works, but seeing your plans laid out in real life can always become daunting!Starting to test fit some components for layout. Here we have a GTX M160 HardwareLabs radiator, the GPU block that will be used for the A2000, and a VRM cooler that I will be using to cool the HDPlex GAN PSU that I have on the way.Not seen in this pic - but my original plan was to use 25mm thick fans, unfortunately I was out by 2mm and will have to step down to 80x15mm fans to keep things comfortable. The radiator was originally planned to be further back against the case wall, but with the way the inlet and outlet radiator chambers are organised I will need to set the fans in a push direction to blow inside the case for optimum heat transfer. The final air cooling solution will then be 2x 80x15mm fans for the rad, and a single 120mm or 140mm for the top panel. The airflow inside the case should take care of the motherboard VRM and M2. The GPU will block most of the PSU, hence my desire to add additional cooling there.Build will be soft tubed with Tygon A-60-G. Still to add in are quick disconnects, ModUltra LOBO CPU block, a filter, and an aquacomputer High Flow NEXT.Quick pic:
