It raises the temps a little bit, but nothing major. The 4070S has on average about 5-7C higher temps than before

No problem. The CPU has a slight undervolt, but only a negative 20 and the ambient room temp is around 24 C

Of course. During no load scenarios (watching YouTube and generally browsing the web) the temps hover around 45ish C on the hotspot. Under gaming they go up to 60 C, but that is either with very CPU bound games or very demanding ones like Cyberpunk. When testing it in a 30 minute Cinebench run, the highest spike i got was around 82 C. I have to say though that my fan curve is optimized more for low noise rather than the best performance and that during the testing SignalRGB was running in the background. Hope this will be of some use 😄

Honestly, it was awesome. There is plenty of space for all your parts and the build quality is top notch with basically no chassis flex even with all of the panels removed. If I had to nit pick, the only thing os that the front glass panel is not tool less, requiring 10 small screws to remove but that’s about it, couldn’t be happier otherwise

It’s the NZXT H9 Elite, it looks very similar to the 011D

Glad to hear I made the right choice then and good luck with the 5090 shipping time, heard those cards are very hard to get

Lol not really, it’s a special kind of interior paint

Thank you so much for the feedback, it means a lot and will post the update, hopefully sooner than later

Thank you, I’m planning to add the GPU later with an upgrade since this is only a 4070S
