Hello,
I'm planning to buy an MSI Mag Infinite S with i5 10400f and RTX2060 Super. It looks like a good option since finding RTX cards are very difficult atm. My only concern about this pc is the CPU cooling since it seems like crammed up inside and the airflow may not be enough for it.

I will mainly use it for gaming, programming and small design stuff.

Anyone used this pc before and have any suggestions?

I guess it has the same overall design with previous gen MSI Nightblade cases, so if anyone used these pc's before, did you have any problem with the cooling?

Thanks

The design appears unchanged. Here is a review (in French) of the 9th gen. There is no active intake or exhaust, no source of fresh air for the blower-style CPU cooler, and only a single SODIMM included. This is going to be a noisy hot-box... and the non-traditional form factor makes is impossible to re-use anything but the GPU.

I would avoid this and look elsewhere.
