Thoughts on cooling in the InWin N515

A Silver

I am looking at upgrading to the new Inwin N515 Nebula as I like how the AIO radiator has its own cooling zone. My only concern is it appears the PSU and its cables will be blocking most of the airflow behind the radiator. There is very little information on this case and the user manual does not say anything about cable management. 

The main reason for changing cases is to get better cooling with my 12th gen CPU. My current Corsair Crystal 460x case has very restricted front airflow for my front mounted 360 AIO (removing the front panel drops temps by >5c). Could this potential blockage cause issues with cooling? Has anyone used this case or seen it in person?

the PSU won't block the entire compartment, not by a long shot.  It'll be fine.
