Any updates on the handle for the 550/560?
October / November at this point, lots of OEM work ramping up.
Will I be able to run a 5700 XT in this case or do I need the riser to be 4.0
Will need to put GPU into motherboard outside of the case and change the PCIe setting to 3.0 speed, then install the motherboard and GPU into the case with the riser.
Tech Power Up has a good review of PCIE 4.0 v 3.0 v 2.0 on the 5700XT - negligible performance loss by stepping down even to PCIe 2.0 from 4.0.
PCI-Express 4.0 has been one of the main new features prominently brandished on the product boxes of both the 3rd generation Ryzen desktop processors and Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards. We examine the performance impact of running these cards on older generations of PCIe.

How hot is too hot for the 2080 Ti in the 580?
I've got my EVGA 2080 Ti XC2 Ultra plus 3700X in my SM580 with both windowed panels plus a 3.5" HDD on the front bottom and one 140mm fan under the motherboard. Not overclocking or doing anything beyond stock with either CPU or GPU. Playing Wolfenstein: Youngblood and it was getting really toasty. EVGA's Precision X1 had the 2080Ti topping out and staying at about 83-84 C when playing. CPU temps seemed fine usually bouncing around the 60s C, but I was mostly focusing on the GPU temps since the case itself on the GPU side felt pretty hot to the touch.
Now, I took the GPU side window panel off and played a while and the 2080 Ti temps backed off quite a bit, topping out around the 60s C. Kind of expected it to be warm with both windowed panels, so I think I'll grab a vented panel just to have since I was kind of expecting this kind of heat issue. Any other suggestions? Obviously having another 140mm fan down below would help but that's not in the cards right now anyway.
Right now I have both top AIO fans pulling outside air into the case and the single 140mm fan below exhausting out the bottom. Should I flip that? Exhausting air out the top AIO (bottom to top airflow) might help the GPU temps but probably would cause the CPU to warm up a little, right?
Since you only have one bottom fan you should change all the fans to be pulling in from top through radiator and exhausting out bottom, this will give you your best temperatures with the window.
Way you have it now with the window panel on and all fans as exhaust you're basically putting your 2080TI in a vacuum between the fans - no where to draw cool air in.
Window panel or unvented panel = all fans one direction.
Vented panels = all fans as exhaust or all one direction.
Let me know if this helps your temps!
