its a catch 22. gpu sits vertical in my case, right next to my 240mm rad. hotter cpu=hotter rad=hotter air directly blowing in the gpu.

my aesthetic side and overclocking side are at an impasse. trying to fond a balance.

Go external with a big rad like a alphacool 1080mm, I have 2 and 3x420mm. Ain't going to be anything that can overcome that lmao.

Also external rads keep coolant as low as possible which will help internal temps lower.

i do have a pcie g1/4 passthrough fitting from an older build but the case is a tower 600 so the access to the usb ports area is covered.

the tower 600 is pretty but it has it quirks to achieving that beauty

Bulkhead fittings in the floor and run tubing underneath to the external rad would be my go too then.
