I bought it from Thermalright's 'flagship' shop in Taobao.I didn't know you could still get the Silver Arrow anywhere. I've always loved the look of that cooler.
My build will have only one exhaust fan, the rear 92mm Noctua. I am betting that the two bottom 140mm Noctua will intake enough ambient air to make the entire case pressure positive, making any excess air to vent out through the top.Great future setup ! Nice case ?
Sorry for not replying to your messages on my build post. I've had to work away from home for the last few weeks. Really, I'm sorry.
I resumed my build and I'm waiting next week for 2 Noctua Redux 140mm for the bottom, instead of my two Pure wings 2. I've tried exhaust mode for the bottom fans, so full negative pressure. Impossible, my RX580 becomes a loud turbine ! You can leave in intake. How do you think you'll handle the exhaust ? I have a new NF-A9 after my D9L cooler and I put an NF-A12 Slim on top of it. It's very quiet for now and better temps for the CPU, like 5/6 celsius. I was thinking of drilling through the plexiglass to put the 120mm slim on the side, but I think that creating an airflow from bottom to top, strictly, without disturbance is not bad.

Another idea is to rotate the PSU 180-degree around and have its fan facing inside, thus making use of the fan as exhaust.
Yet another idea is to move the PSU to the PG side panel, ie away from the Aluminium side panel. And then, install another fan on the right side panel as vent holes are there already.
...My new 120mm slim has really changed the behavior of the fans and I have more hot air coming out of the 120mm slim than the 92mm, clearly. I'm even thinking about changing the orientation of the CPU cooler, vertically to have a more present bottom-up draft effect, even if it takes a bit more hot air out of the GPU. Just for testing and fun ^^...
The Unify board is just so pretty. All the people I know building Z490 ITX system all go for it. Sometimes I wish MSI would have made an X570I unify hahaA significant update:-
Mainboard is now MSI Z490I Unify (vs Asus Z490i Gaming).
Yes, it is all black and zero RGB. Aesthetics is impeccable.The Unify board is just so pretty. All the people I know building Z490 ITX system all go for it. Sometimes I wish MSI would have made an X570I unify haha
Yeah...not all RGB are equally bad. Some are worse and some are less worse.I am not into RGB at all but kinda like these effects on power cables

Visual flow and temp information, sounds indeed like a good idea!If I have to have RGB, I would like it to have a function as well. The ideal is that the colour somehow reflects the temperature of a component.
Say, if the water tubing has RGB (BTW, I do not think this is available yet), then the RGB effect can provide a running effect (just like those power cables in your post) indicating the flow direction. Also, the colour will change according to the temperature of the coolant. If so, this could be nice.
