Hi All,
Simple panel mod in order to improve cooling.
- 92/25mm Fan for the CPU on the Noctua L9i.
- 92/25mm Fan below the PSU.
- 92/14mm Fan below the Motherboard.
- New Aluminum panels with holes fitting my computer setup.
All PSU cables are self-made to minimize as much as possible obstruction of airflow.
CPU/PSU/GPU fans are only able to take air from outside. (no hot air recycling)
Bottom Fans can only exhaust hot air produced inside the case.
I think that such a small case need a bit of optimization if I want to use a RTX 3080ti. It is a challenge and the key, in my opinion, is to improve the air cooling.
I put on the back of the PSU an extra temperature sensor in order to evaluate the hot behind the graphic card, regarding this particular design of the nVidia FE.
The Corsair SF750 allows a continuous power output for up to 50°C, then the de-rating curve applies. I think, the PSU can deliver still good power even a 60°C.
(see a good corsair article: https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/blog/what-is-in-the-wattage)
Using Unigine Superposition, in game mode, I load the GPU 100% for a total power demand of 350W. (see red curve below)
- The GPU core reaches 75°C.
- The extra sensor reports 55°C behind the PSU. Thinking that fresh air coming from outside in the other side by the PSU fan, the temperature inside the PSU should be lower!
(That is why, flipping the PSU is, in my opinion, a bad idea)
This is a Workstation, The CPU is a Xeon 6cores with a C246 Intel chipset. The Intel reference design puts the memory slots at the bottom of the mainboard, where it is on the left for most game counterparts. But the mainboard, an AsrockRack (server division of Asrock), uses only a 4 PIN non-standard ATX connector (red cable in the picture below) instead of the 24PIN. A lot less cable inside the case 
It is still under progress, need some painting to make honey comb covers and panels black!
any comments are welcome.
