@Cyberspirit Update on the cooling stuff. I cut some plastic off the inside of the front panel (no aesthetic difference from before) that was blocking a decent bit of airflow and that dropped average CPU temps to around 55-60 and GPU temps to mid 70s.

    Nice, is the front panel removable? Would be interesting to see how much difference does it make.

    @Cyberspirit legit about 5-10c with it completely removed, but that would get dusty pretty fast i imagine.

    If you don't mind the way it looks without, you could get some magnetic or screw on dust filters and slap them there instead.

    For the dust, it depends on where you live and how often you like to clean stuff but if you look around the place and you don't see much dust buildup you'd probably be fine without.

     

    I have a Corsair 280x and I used to run it with both filter and front glass removed but, I opted to keep the filter because it was a little too dangerous with a cat around.

    @Cyberspirit The temps don't seem too terrible, so I'll probably just keep it on for looks. I might figure out some other solution with more case modding or something like that later on.
