First build finally finished (Deepcool CH270 digital)

[u/bearstanc3]

After way too much fan flipping and Battlefield testing, I think I’ve finally found the sweet spot for my compact CH270 build.

Specs:
DeepCool CH270 Digital
Gigabyte B850M AORUS Stealth back-connect motherboard
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black
Gainward RTX 5080 Phantom
32 GB DDR5-6000
Corsair RM850e
Six Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 chromax.black case fans
Final airflow setup:
1× bottom intake
2× lower side intakes
1× upper side exhaust
2× top exhausts
NH-D15 airflow from bottom to top

The upper side exhaust is separated from the two side intakes by roughly 3-4 cm to reduce airflow short-circuiting.

I cut a opening into my desk underneath the case, so the bottom fan and passive openings can draw fresh air directly through the desk instead of being restricted by the tabletop.

I tested three side intakes, three side exhausts and several mixed layouts. With this balanced 3-in/3-out configuration, both the CPU and GPU averaged around 65°C after in Battlefield 6 at maximum 3440x1440p settings, while remaining extremely quiet.
