I have never been totally satisfied with the air flow through the S610 case. I believe I have found a simple solution for an air cooled build.
First issue is the rear space for a 92mm fan. I believe Sliger underestimated the height of current motherboard IO heat sinks. Your choice is to either grind down the fan on two sides to make the fan fit or use an 80mm fan. I chose to grind down a Noctua A9x25 fan. You must also cut a notch in the front edge of the frame in the fan frame for the threads of the removable side panel bracket mounting upper screw point not interfere with mounting the fan. The rear fan aligns very well to the Noctua D9L CPU cooler and I set the rear fan to run at the same RPM as the CPU cooler fan. I looked to see if I could achieve front to back air flow through the case that would be desirable with a tower cooler.
I noted that there is just enough space below the crosswise mounted PSU to install a 120x25 fan with no blocking of its airflow straight back over the GPU. I installed this fan with 10mm spacers in front of the fan to reduce any intake noise that I noted on my earlier use of mounting fans directly to the slotted interior front panel. (This may not work as effectively on the S620 as its front interior panel slots do not extend as far down as those in the S610.)
For direct air flow to the CPU and motherboard, I noted that these is enough space between the motherboard and the rear of the crosswise mounted PSU to install a 120x25mm fan with 25mm space in front of the fan for intake. With two vented side panels, and a vented top panel there is no apparent restriction on air intake. The are unused holes on the motherboard panel for affixing the fan with zip ties. I affixed the top upper side to the top case panel fan slot. A fourth mounting point could be added if the removeable side fan/cooler bracket is installed. The fan is quite secure with only three mounting points. You will note that the CPU temp was reduced by 4C along with lower temps on all other motherboard components. The fan noise even at high RPM is not bothersome - no whine or any other edge to the sound.
