Define S choking my GPU?

I've been planning to buy a define S case, it's cool but I was probably going to get the non windowed version so its more silent but i'm wandering if my GPU is going to have enough air because my current case has vents in the side panel which allows air. If it doesn't choke it will it get much hotter? Like 5 or 10 degrees I can take because it's quite cold here in Australia at the moment

Temps won't be an issue so long as you have decent airflow through the case.

You should be fine, especially if you put a couple more fans in.

I get the same temps in my Define R4 that I was in my Air 540 using stock fans.

 

My hardware is an OC'd 2500k and a GTX 980.

 

 

Point is, if you know where to place fans then you're fine.

With my r4 my GPU at 60% fans speed running games at max I never see the GPU go over 59c.
