I know it's not Noctua recommended (due to degraded performance), but can you try the L12S rotated 180 degrees with two fans on top? I'm curious how that compares to other orientations without the two fans.


Also from your pictures, a few orientations show the case is some form of disassembly.  Is this purely for ease of working through the testing or are there fit issues with the cooler?


Sorry for the 20 questions! This is the exactly cooler I am targeting to pair with a RTX 3080.  My T1 is coming in November and I'm in the research stage :)


Unrelated quick question: are you doing this out of suspicion that a 240mm radiator will inhibit exhaust too much for the dissipation from the RTX 30s?  That's been my suspicion, but I'm hoping a few guinea pigs will test the viability of a good air cooler (L12S) vs. 120mm AIO vs. 240mm AIO.
