"On the GPU side, the fascia plate from the GPU was removed and painted to match the case as well. It’s a dual slot card (the only air cooled 3080Ti that is that small), but still reasonable on the temps with the 4x 140mm fans providing negative pressure zone within the case. Air flows in from side panels and is extracted via top and bottom fans.

Idle temps are ~40°C on CPU, and ~30°C on the GPU with low fan RPM/low noise (ambient room temp ~25°C). In gaming, both generally top out ~70-80°C at full load. Comparable temps to a full-size case really, in the size of a shoe box. Not too loud. Some performance benchmarks in 3DMark btw.

I did have planned to install my SoundBlaster AE9 via bifurcation cable but wanted the PCIe 4.0 riser for the GPU, so it had to stay out. It would have snugly fitted behind the GPU if there was a suitable riser cable on the market (i.e. not PCIe 3.0).

There is always a compromise..."
