REVIEWED: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with ZOTAC GAMING RTX 5060 TI Twin Edge OC

Thanks very much for the replies. I must say I see pros and cons with the expanded holes on the side panels. They will mess with airflow channeling and looks, but will help with GPU temperatures, especially in the era of the 2080 Ti. However, GPUs may intake unfiltered air from the sides if not fed properly from the bottom. Also, feeding your CPU from the bottom will become less efficient. Again, pros and cons. But I get how it makes commercial sense to go in that direction.

It doesn't concern me either way, I'll use my V5 until they stop making ITX boards or I die, I think it's the best designed case ever made. Or a close second behind the original IBM PC AT case.

Oh follow up question -- at some point before the end of the year I plan on buying the window panel. Will it stay in stock for a while or will it get discontinued after V6 comes out and replaced with some V6-specific window panel? It's out of stock at the moment. I definitely don't want to miss it. And if you do update the feet, I hope you'll offer them separately too.
