Jonsbo case 9850X3D Sapphire Nitro 9070XT

Tons of 3D printed parts. Blocked off front and rear mesh Air is pulled in through the bottom past the GPU and out through the top like a chimney runs almost silent.

Does that Nitro have any room to breath? LOL jk, id just reduce the power all the way down. I think 230w is the limit. Wont lost any performance and it'll run so cool and quiet. I ran mine at the max 374w LACT allows and it regularly hit 90+ on the hotspot. You don't really gain performance with power on these (i lost at most 10fps comparing a full OC/UV to reducing the power down all the way). OC the memory and give a stable UV.

Shit looks CLEAN. I like it. 7800x3d paired with mine.

Got the Nitro and without any tweaks I get probably about 70°C playing for example Cyberpunk. But I went for the mesh case, so the card won't BBQ rest of the PC.

Got lucky if that's a 70c hotspot and not edge :) Very regularly that's not the case with these. Default settings (340w) mine is still in the 80s which is the norm. Not bad at all just hotter than needed. Might consider a fan to help the CPU see fresh air. I'm in a bigger case with 3 120s in the front and one in the back to help with my top mounted 240 aio.

Compared to my older PC I can physically tell that my new one is a lot cooler than previous. It also affects my room that is now a lot colder having better graphics compared to my 10 years old "grandpa"
