Enclosure Is there any SFF case worth the upgrade from a Raven RVZ02?

Hello everyone,

I have a SilverStone Raven RVZ02 which I love but I just upgraded the CPU moving from an Intel I5 6600K to an AMD Ryzen 3600 and the chip is getting hotter.
I’m using a Black Ridge with a Noctua 120x15 fan on top to keep things as cool as possible, but I’m wondering if water-cooling could help with temps and noise.
I do not have any throttling nor I want to overclock, I’m just pissed off by having 50-60° idle temps.

The Raven RVZ02 is pretty old and does not have any option for water cooling (I have a full-size GTX1080), but has the perfect form-factor for me, especially the low width (less than 9cm) that is a must for me, given it is hidden behind the television.

So my questions are:
- is it worth to upgrade to a water-cooled case/solution?
- is there any SFF Case with a form-factor similar to the Raven (maybe higher, that’s not a problem, but not much wider) which can be efficiently water-cooled and maybe (optional) with a glass panel? I’m searching all the existing SFF cases but I couldn’t find any,

Thank you very much in advance,
Andrea

Could probably even VESA mount it behind your TV somehow:
