I would definately poke as many holes as I could in that HDD bay, if not remove it completely / replace with a new minimalistic solution.

It blocks way too much horizontal ventilation, that 12cm cooler right above it can get way more efficient.

I would also completely mod the GPU panel... but a larger air intake, poke more holes, etc.

My problem right now is GPU temp / fan workload, and I worry about the PSU (CV450) too..

I had one and my mod was to simply remove the HDD bay, made a huge difference in terms of airflow, I can definitely vouch for that mod.

What is your setup?
i5 9400f + 1660 Super + 2x8gb DDR4 2666hz

Got a Noctua NFA8 that helped temps (though almost nothing with the gpu).

Ive just ordered an NVMe and Corsair Sf450; will also take the chance and remove the rivets of that wretched HDD bay (it hits the GPU's side panel too, besides the airflow issue). New smaller, modular PSU and zero drive cables might help airflow, I believe.
