Specs:

• Case: NCASE M3 Grater, inverted layout, glass side panel
• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• Cooler: Thermalright dual-tower LCD air cooler
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B850-I Gaming WIFI
• RAM: Micron DDR5 32GB 6000MT/s
• GPU: Colorful iGame RTX 5080 Advanced OC
• PSU: Lian Li SP1000 SFX

Airflow:

• Rear intake
• Front exhaust
• Bottom light exhaust

The rear intake works surprisingly well in this layout. It feeds fresh air almost directly into the CPU cooler.

I also raised the case slightly with 8mm acrylic bars under the feet, which helped the bottom exhaust breathe better.

Current Time Spy result with a 950mV GPU profile:

• Overall: 27,546

Still planning to clean up the GPU power cable with a custom 12V-2x6 direct cable, but overall I’m really happy with how this turned out.
