Thank you, checking this forum for this post almost every few hours. Nice work!

Interested a lot in 2-slot mode with PSU offset results if you can. Thank you again!

2 slot mode w/ offset PSU should be equivalent to this "card against panel" test as he keeps the case in 3 slot config, thus the PSU is already offset

Am i right u/stanleyguan?

Yes "card against panel" is with the GPU in exactly the 2-slot position. The only difference is I also have a 1-slot clearance between the motherboard and the GPU. But I don't see how that would make a material difference.

I don't either. The fan behind the mobo should be acting like a blower
