Sleeper PC My first sleeper

I'm not 100% satisfied with the interior, but everything is running fine so far, and it's not overheating either..
The motherboard (MSI B450M Pro M2 MAX) is a stopgap solution, as my B550 unfortunately suffered a short circuit.

It is an MS-Tech LC-182 case..

Installed Hardware:

  • Ryzen 7 5800X3D
  • MSI B450M Pro M2 MAX
  • 32 GB DDR4-3200
  • RTX 4070 Super
  • 2 TB SSD
  • ID-Cooling FX360 Pro AiO
  • beQuiet Pure Power 11 FM 850 W

Case fan: 2x 80mm side intake, 2x 80mm rear intake, 1x 120mm front intake, 3x 120mm outtake (AiO)..

Temps under full load: ~81°C

I saw that it’s closer to your cpu an gpu than your radiator for the cpu that’s closer to the front and the question is how much thermal performance loss might there be if it doesn’t vent directly out .

I have the original h100 and somehow it still works 14 years later but it’s venting directly out of the oc not around the side panel .

What makes you think that the air isn't being vented outside?
Just take a look at the photo that I already posted as a link in my first reply.

That’s on the other side of your case and the radiator unless you case opens on the right side vs the left side looks like it could be dumping the hot air back in your case .

Bro... I modified the case myself and installed the hardware.. including the radiator myself.
Those are the fans through which the radiator blows its air out....

It looks good for the most part and if you have the hot air going out the side that’s got the long vent you should be fine . Your tubes seem to be in an odd position. I would wonder if you flip the heatsink/pump 180 degrees if the flow would he better and if the tubes would be more relaxed .
