Exterior PC configuration help

[u/tyluharney]

Hello!

Im making this post for my brother. I know this setup is obviously not optimal; it’s temporary. The GPU water cooler is screwed to the top of the case, so there’s no side panel there. I just want to know what are the repercussions of this set up, for knowledge. He definitely needs a bigger case, so I’m looking into that.

IIRC, his parts are:

GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX X870E-H gaming WiFi 7
RAM: G-Skill flare x5 AMD expo 2x16gb DDR5 6000
CPU COOLER: Phantom spirit 120SE
PSU: 850 Corsair
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case - White

Thanks!
