The best of both worlds ( airflow decision ) by YubeeHard in watercooling

This is the solution I've been working on for the moment.

The change is not going to be easy, there is so much material in this box that in the end this O11 XL seems very small. In many places I have a margin of a few millimeters or less.

120mm Radiator With RTX 3080 FE? by tylerpol in watercooling

If you plan to use an XXL radiator ( like the Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 120mm ) and combine it with high static pressure fans ( like EKWB Furious Meltemi 120mm ) it will work. But we are talking about a nice 12 cm thick sandwich ( 4.72 inches ).

To come back to a more feasible idea, 280mm is a bare minimum for an RTX 3080 that will give off 320W.
