In Summer just take the side off if it gets too noisy, should help it considerably.
Thanks I will take a look. Also some case mods for the front, I just really liked the look of this case

I'd be wanting to see 20C lower temps than what your 3070 is currently running at. 85C seems a tad toasty. I wouldn't be looking forward to Summer 
As fe cards blow upwards, is there any other way to get cool air into the case from below, and the hot air pulled out the top or rear at high level? My 3090fe sits at 65C after a couple of hours gaming, but the case fans draw air in from the front and below, and vent the warm air out the top and back. And the 3090 is a 400w card!

+1 on this. My 3080FE doesn't get close to 85c after hours of gaming, but have 3 x LL120's intaking from the bottom of my case blowing fresh air directly at the card.
Think you are pretty snookered with that case though. Slightly negative case pressure is probably as best as you're gunna get.

This is my case setup. Although the cpu AIO gets warm itself, it's fans are still sucking air out the top of the case, so going with the air flow direction from the gpu, and venting upwards out of the case.
To say you've not got an air cooler blocking the top of the gpu, you should be getting cooler temps surely

yep I am limited in fan space
i could add 2 more fans either on the rad side and remove the white cable management bar, or on the bottom directly under the the graphics cards, thoughts ?

Is the front of your case glass?
The two front fans that draw air from the front and ultimately blow warm radiator air towards the gpu. Is there any way they can suck through the rad and draw warm air out of the front? Or something that isn't blowing warm air into the case? But sucking it out.
yeah agree, i would like to bring it down, it's only gaming that brings the heat up

They do a mesh version now, they might start selling the new fronts separately with a little luck! That would help hugely.
I would just remove the front glass panel for a fairly quick fix, if the rear and top are exhaust then those 2 in the front should even out the pressure providing they can grab some fresh air which behind glass aint happening.
My rig is seated in a Lian Li Derbauer case which in theory should be great for cooling...its not, fairly similar configuration to yours and i have removed all the panels, its more like a test bench to be honest but the air flow is perfect for my needs and its mounted on a shelf about a foot above my monitor, its inaudible to be honest and cool as the Fonze rocking up on a Harley...

Hi there,
How about moving the radiator to the top of the case like @FlyingFish has with his?
This should allow you to add 2 fans to the radiator without removing the cable management bar and pushing the air upwards out of the case, despite only 1 fan pushing air out of the case the 2nd will help cool the AIO.
Then you could purchase another fan and put that and the top fan on the side where the radiator currently is, pushing the air into the case.
You should also move the case further forward because the back fan will be working harder (likely higher rpm when gaming) because there's such a small gap to the wall - there's bound to be some heat lingering around that tight space as there isn't much room to escape, same with the GPU.
yep i will try bringing the case forward and see if that helps. i cant see that rad fitting up top!
Just had a look on the official website. Unfortunately you can't put it on the top ;/
It's a stunning case but man it's so restrictive.
