well i do see other people succeed using EK 280 AIO inside ITX cases

 

u might wanna check if your GPU is exhausting it's heat into your AIO, afaik NR200 seems to be cheaper & better

I stepped out of SFF for a bit as I needed a X299 system for a while, but now i'm coming back into the fold as i've got enough money for a dedicated gaming PC.

I really like the SSUPD Meshy and the Lian Li Q58 but I'm a bit torn between the two and flip between each several times in a day, so I was hoping someone could help me make the decision.

Hardware I want to put inside:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5800X3D (I have a spare 2700 to use in the meantime)
CPU Cooler: EK-AIO 280 D-RGB
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-I
Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 3600 CL18
M.2 - 1: WD SN850 2TB
M.2 - 2: WD Blue 2TB
Sata SSD 1: Samsung 860 EVO 2TB
Sata SSD 2: Samsung 870 EVO 1TB
GPU: ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti OC Edition
PSU: Corsair SF750 Platinum

If I am completely objective, I do like the mechanical or functional element of the Meshy more and the fact it takes up less desk space, but I like the aesthetics of the Q58 and the ease of accessibility to the I/O and graphics card ports.

I have read that fitting a 280MM AIO in the Q58 is a pain, but according to the specs, my EK should fit?

I was hoping someone who has had or worked with both, could give me their 2cents on which is better?
