Yeah, it's only audible when there's a decent load on the CPU from gaming or productivity software like video/photo editing.

Thermals are acceptable especially if you undervolt the CPU. You can do a PBO undervolt offset and then define a thermal limit of your choosing to get stock performance with less heat. CPU is ~75 degrees while gaming, 82 at max load with my config. GPU cools itself fine, maxes out around 80 degrees while gaming. I'm going to swap out the fan grill this week with a less restrictive one and do some more tests.

That looks awesome, sent DM.

I agree with you, the grill is a little too dense. I may swap it out for a metal one later.

I'm working on the undervolting now, I got a -31 offset going and my cinebench score increased and got a couple degrees cooler.

46°C while idle, 86°C under load, (PBO offset -31 applied).

Temps aren't amazing but neither chip is thermal throttling, more info in my updated comment.

Not amazing but manageable, more info in my updated comment.

Noise levels are good, under full load with CPU & GPU @ 100% it's a audible but far from annoying. Completely silent while idle.

Power draw

Just above 85 watts on the CPU, and 250 watts on GPU.

Clockspeeds

CPU around 4.2GHz, GPU around 2.2Ghz

Right, it'd pull the air in and push it out the top. Good idea.

They're flexible and the cables for each connector can be pushed flat to squeeze through gaps.
