How hard would it be to move the PSU to the bottom, you could get a awesome CPU & it would stay cool.

The case has been around for over a decade, its been modded in every single way imaginable. Why would you be looking at an SG05 in 2024 in the first place? There are SO many better ITX cases today.

I believe in you recent topic, I suggested a front intake 120mm radiator. I'll bet that would be way more convenient than modifying the entire case layout, and delivery a similar large improvement to CPU thermals. 

 

I made a similar build in an SG13, with a thick Corsair radiator and a Ryzen 9 3900X. It worked super well. Also paired with a quadro for graphic design. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Don't ask him why. @tkitch figured out the hard way.

I ordered a new case, just saying that may be better for cooling.
