I love your build (and am very jealous of your l5, they are hard to get these days ahah).
But instead of partially obstructing the front fans would there not be enough space to place the HDPlex GaN unit in the free volume between the CPU Cooler and the sidewall.
It wouldn't have to be directly above the cpu cooler, mabe more towards the Ram, or maybe closer to the GPU backplate?
Just a thought, though maybe you wouldn't have enough clearance for cables to plug into the hdplex anymore. i would love to see a testfit though. been wondering if this config was possible for a long time.

That was my first thought but the GaN unit is 25mm thick, there's just not enough space available above the CPU cooler (which sits at 47mm).
I could go with an HDPLEX200W plug-in unit, but they are discontinued and I'd really like a brickless L5 if possible. Went through the 55 pages of the L5 thread in search for temperatures benchmarks with no fan installed but couldn't find any.
The RTX A2000, using a blower style cooler, won't dump heated air inside the chassis. Maybe I could use some kind of foam duct (like Noctua foam stack) to seal the space between the CPU fan and the side panel and create a positive pressure... if the chassis vents alone aren't enough
