The C14S looks interesting, especially if you put a 120mm fan under it with the 140 on top. I am right now running a poor mans version of this with a Scythe Big Shuriken 3, full size 120 on top and a 140mm fan on the side rail for an intake straight at the CPU cooler. Keep the CPU at 60C under gaming load and practically silent.

Yes, it will get fresh air from the bottom straight away, but I'll wait for the benchmarks and tests of the AIB cards. Even though the new cooling is less noisy than the old solutions, it's still likely noisier than the AIB boards, but time will tell.

but he wasn't fair with the fuma 2
I watched a review in which they added a third fan which really improved it a lot

I am thinking of adding noctua nf-a9x14 chromax outside the case.
or
flip the cooler and install a 120
not sure tbh
But there would be enough space internally to add a third fan inside the case, right?

if you flipped the cooler and moved the psu then yes, if u don't move the psu u can only fit a slim 120mm fan
or
I was thinking to add a 92mm fan outside the case while the cooler in the exhaust position

This case is the best ITX case for the 3080 FE editions as with an AIO on the side panel, and a horizontal GPU oritentation, the card will be drawing fresh air in from the bottom and exhausting hot air upward to the exhaust fans on the top panel. The hot air should exhaust faster than a normal AIB GPU design.

Spotted this one. Looks well planned and executed to get double rads in.

Looks really nice, how did you get it silent with the Wraith Prism? It's a very loud cooler
Top down RGB coolers do look really good in this case still tempted by the big Shuriken 3 with full size Kaze Flex RGB fan
I was wondering too. How 'silent' is it?
