Hello, how are you?
Today I saw that my eshop I usually buy stuff from will have the Lian Li PC-Q38 for delivery this week.

I really like the case.
I like the size and the ability it has to take a 240mm AIO to cool the cpu.
It means I can overclock a K chip without issues.

Now what worries me is the cooling of the GPU.
I have a 1080 g1 gaming that has the triple fan windforce cooler.

From what o see, the GPU can passively intake air from the bottom that is grilled.
With the 240 AIO as exhaust on top of the case, can the hit air from the GPU escape to the top and be exhausted?
Or will it become trapped and the gpu will end up cooking itself...
What do you think?

Thank you for your help.
Best regards

Try placing a pair of slim fan under the GPU if you're worried, it'll make sure the "used" air did not get recirculated and go straight upward. Browse more to see if it would fit, 'cause the space seem very limited down there.
