I'm building a mini-itx gaming rig, and was wondering if the title case has enough airflow. Does it?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

It has decent airflow. If you get halfway decent fans then I don't think you'll have any problem keeping it nice and cool.

Yes it pretty much is, I've heard that people using a thick AiO at the back could potentially get hot VRMs, but for the rest it actually has lots of airflow.

Personally I don't like the case, as I feel it's too bulky and big for mITX; but those who are good with the dimensions shouldn't have a complain.

It is has not amazing airflow but it is good enough.

I think it is prety small considering that you can fit 6x 3.25" HDDs in it.

I need at least 12 indeed fit graphics card. Got a better suggestion?
