Currently I have an old corsair 400 something, I have a corsair 360mm aio, a corsair rm1000 watts psu, a strix 3080. Standard ATX MOBO. As the pictures show there was about 2 mm of clearance between my rad and my gpu, very happy and lucky about that. However, my gpu gets some poor airflow that isn't too much of an issue because it's such a powerful card, sits at about 85C after a while tho and can easily get up to 90 on some games that really like to use everything to the max. I want a new case, but the difficult part is finding a case that has all five of the requirements I have. Has to be able to be portable, like intentionally designed to be portable, (otherwise I'd just keep my case as it is), has to be able to support my 360mm rad and that beig gpu of mine, and the full atx or whatever psu I have, which barely fits in this case as it is. Actually in addition I have two HDDs that would have to fit.

 

For the curious: i7-11700KF @5.4GHZ 8 cores, Asus Strix 3080 10G FHR, Corsair 16GBx4 RGB RAM, Corsair 360mm rad, in total six rgb corsair fans, Asus Prime z570 Mobo. In total nine rubby duckies.

Then be ready to start part swapping. Hard truth is that cooling tech on PC has been stagnant and there are no incentive to make it smaller, the closest youll get is Asus Prime AP201 or ssupd Meshroom, with the former limiting you to mATX motherboard and the latter not having any 3.5 inch HDD slots unless youre willing to give up on long GPU.

That is what it is supposed to do.  Even with good airflow this will still happen if all of it's computational assets are being utilized to their fullest.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.
