heyo! im in this case, a few things: was on 5600x and moved to 9850x3D. work your undervolt in this case! -20 or (-30 if youre lucky) offset helps by a mile. dropped my temps by 10C at idle the case laying horizontal was wildly hotter than having it up vertical do not use the stock 120mm fans. even with proper fan control, they sound like jet engines. by default they will be set by your cpu temps which is on the complete opposite side of the case from the cpu. which in turn they end up cooling your gpu. i deshrouded my 3080 12gb and used two noctua NFA12x25s with a 3D printed bracket and its so wonderfully quiet at full load using the space of the two 120mm fans would keep the 3080 if you can. RTX 3000 series undervolts beautifully, i dropped temps by 10 degrees, raised frames by 5-8%. would look at optimum tech's guide. there's a top slot for 3 80mm fans. however with your current gpu selection you would have to get rid of one to use your 9060 or 9070 based on where it plugs in you've got a great CPU cooler, use the best you can within the 70mm of clearance. big fan of the AXP-120-67 in this. tried an NH L9a and it gave me no thermal headroom. ive used custom 3D printed etsy brackets in the cpu chamber for two slim 60mm fans and two 80mm fans in the front fabric panel. to be honest, when the system is fully heat saturated i dont feel a difference with them, YMMV with your case placement. i was thinking about using this machine for the same purposes but man that console like experience with HDMI CEC is hard to beat.
