Wow this thread is so dead lately, just finished upgrading my Ghost and thought I would share. I have had my Ghost since shortly after the kickstarter and was running a 8700k and a RTX 2070 which was later upgraded to a RTX 2080 Super. Build was originally fully watercooled but I switched back to aircooling after I upgraded to the 2080 Super. I like the look of the Ghost much better without the large tophat and I didn't want to buy another GPU waterblock to my growing collection.
Finally decided to upgrade with the release of Alder Lake, 12600k looked like the sweet spot for gaming performance. Like many I have wanted a RTX 3080 FE since release. Everyone here knows the story and the 3080 FE are still bringing premium prices so I finally decided on a RTX 3070 Ti FE for $200 over MSRP which in this current market was pretty good.
Louqe Ghost S1
Intel i5 12600k
Gigabyte z690i Aorus Ultra DDR4
Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti FE
G Skill TridentZ 3200 MHz 2x16GB
Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition
Corsair SF600 Platinum
Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe SSD
Crucial P1 1TB NVMe SSD
Crucial M500 960GB 2.5 SSD
3x120mm Scythe Kaze Flex Slim
I have the anti-vandal switch and unsleeved cables from pslate. I have a full set of parts from Meta Customs which includes mount plate, bottom plate, RTX3000 spine and highflow grill.
Between the open spine, top and bottom exhaust fans and a mild undervolt my 3070 Ti maxes out at 72C. CPU idles at high 20 to low 30C and max gaming temps are 75C. with the recent design changes in GPUs I thought for sure I was going to have to change cases in order to get a 3000 series, glad I will be able to use the case for at least the next few years.

Nice build! What are your Prime95 Small FFT temps on the CPU?
Actually not bad, 86C with a .050v core voltage offset. I hadn't tried Prime95 yet but with Cinebench R23 it would hit 100C and throttle before the offset.
I had to resurrect this thread from the dead, been very quiet in here. Recently upgraded my GPU from the 3070 Ti FE to a Inno3d RTX 4070 Ti X3. Fits really well and performance is a big bump from the 3070 Ti. Cooler is more than sufficient for this GPU, max I have seen so far is 75C at 50% fan speed but usually runs in the 60s.

That's a damn near perfect SFF rig right there.
