Thanks for all the inputs. I guess I have to check the thermal interface on the chipset cooler and I agree cable management is far from optimal.Actually I'm waiting for Noctua fan clips NM-SFC14 to attach the NF-12x25 properly to the cooler. The included NM-SFC17 are obviously too long for 120mm.Personally I doubt it will improve much, if at all. As already mentioned the PCH Fan stays quiet even with 100% load on the CPU and all the sensors giving me good temps, especially motherboard. I'm pretty sure it's the GPU heatsink and black plate transfering all the heat over to the chipset heatsink. In the end it's two big alu surfaces with nearly no space between.Also since the Strix is so large it basically splits the case into two chambers. There is almost no airflow between the lower and upper part of the card and all the hot air from the GPU is exiting on the sides. A huge improved compared to my old and dusty Ncase M1 v.1.0
