Been running the system for a week now, and I have to say, the performance in my use case is rather incredible. I mostly play an e-sports title with locked a 240 framerate. The active cooling is done completely by the 240mm AIO I have installed. GPU and CPU hower around 60c (AIO liquid ~40c, 50% pump speed) and the system is dead silent (GPU fans are not spinning). Granted, the GPU is running around 30-40% usage and CPU ~20%, but I never saw this scenario in my previous (NR200P) build.

Does anybody have recommendations on how to reduce temps for a rear M.2 drive? My 970 Evo Plus has been running pretty hot, so looking for any solutions. Thinking of trying to squeeze a 15mm or 14mm thick Noctua fan between the riser cable standoff space. (Edit -The temps have been around 60-65°C when at idle and around 75-78°C when gaming)

Not sure if this is OT. I have my A4 H2O arrived last week, I think this is a great SFF case because of how compact it is but I have complain in the panel of my case. The case cover or the case seems to be not square leaving a gap on the left front upper corner and right back upper corner. The Ncase M1 style where the side panel covers the side of the top panel I think is a better approach. I already informed the supplier here in Singapore and Lian-Li said they are going to replace the top panel because they think is crooked. I don't think this will solved my problem. Any suggestion on how to fix this or only Lian-Li can solve this?
Would like to 2nd that. I am kinda looking to go vertical for my next build. It would definitely tip the scale heavily towards the H20 even further.
This is normal. Its not a CNC milled case so gaps like this are normal. My samples have them too.
Finished my build in it. Really nice case, fitting the TUF LC 240 tubes are a bit hard but finally work with some patience. The GPU shroud ugly tbh but its one of the few ones in stock so I'll take it.

So I got told that pre-order stock has just arrived, so that'll go out first with stock for new orders arriving end of the month...
Gaps like this are ok for samples not for the actual production. You have to admit that the panels do not fit well vs the original A4 or Ncase M1 or S4 Mini. Those cases panel aligns well and they are not CNC'd. Sorry about this post. I feel like I am a killjoy, I am just being honest.This is normal. Its not a CNC milled case so gaps like this are normal. My samples have them too.
I remedied the issue and somehow lessen the gap. I bend the top angular tab inwards just a hair bit and the lower angular tab outwards of the left side panel. And do the same on the right side but in opposite direction. Then push the panel upwards while tightening the thumbscrew at the back.
