      Nah there’s plenty of room, I have a feeling the CPU cooler fans are pointing the wrong way though. Like you can just see the back ‘brace’ part of the left fan.

      Edit: Oh that top case fan is exhausting air before it’s really done anything too. OP the air comes out where the brace bits are, try and keep the air moving in one direction, e.g. intakes near the front, exhaust near the back.

        Took me a second to see it on the CPU cooler but yeah, looks like they flipped it around, probably due to insufficient RAM clearance, without reorienting the fans.

        Also, ideally you want positive pressure inside the case. Like two fans pushing air in and just one pulling air out. This helps with dust build up.

        In this instance, the CPU fans are pulling rather than pushing, and yeah it’s because of memory clearance.

        Surprisingly, temps of the parts aren’t that bad. Under load the CPU tops out at about 70c, and the gpu only goes up to 65c while ray tracing and the whole bit.

        Still, if money were no object, I’d like to have the Silverstone Sugo 17 shoebox style case when it becomes available.
