That's a pretty specced up build. Can you fit another slim noctua fan instead of the original on that AXP-90? Might worth a try. I'm wondering why the full copper version is only available from AliExpress while I see the regular, the full black and even a full white version available elsewhere (latter two only has copper heatpipes, rest is aluminum).
As for the card, I also tried the 3070 ti. Found it around 950 eur - still overpriced, but at least not by much. Originally I did not want to upgrade, but I read some reviews that were praising it a lot. Lower power consumption and noise than the FE and who could resist those gorgeous looks. Since this card is so well optimized and not just fits, but looks like if it is literally part of the case, I doubt there will ever be a more suitable gpu in our lifetime (potato pics incoming).
Unfortunately, I noticed that one of the fans produced a ticking sound. It did not make contact with anything, so I suspected that the bearing was faulty.
This made me to return the card with a heavy heart. Too bad as it was such a beauty and went so well with my all black, all dark (zero lights) build. Maybe it was just bad luck and changing it to another piece of the same product would've solved it. Then again, this was the first ever occasion when I heard my SF600 spinning, so who knows. Plan was to get the SP750 from Lian Li as well to have even more brushed black metal surface in my build and achieve aesthetic perfection. I'm now back to my trusty 2060.
I wish Inno3D would take this awesome design and make a 3060 Ti like this. A card that's between the 2080 super and the 2080 Ti but consuming significantly lower power and with just a single 8pin cable would perhaps be the most ideal for a small case like this (and I would not need to change my SF600). Now I'm thinking about the 2 slot rev.2/3 Gigabyte 3060 Ti Gaming (or the 8+6pin Gaming Pro) and wonder if it could be deshrouded with 3 slim noctuas given it's design and suitable length. Or even just fan swapped - it worked well with my Gigabyte 2060 and the fans are the same size and so are their tri-arc mounting.
