Small 3090 with a big rad is a must to keep it cool.
Changed rad to 45mm thick. Installed 3090 and 9900k.
At full load pumping about 530W through the rad. So far holding up OK regarding temps.

I used double sided tape to stick the fan to top-cover. This-way I there is more airflow through the case. Planning to add one more fan and reduce the RPM a little...

Intel i9 / RTX 3090 / 530W of heat
This is my first build here, but since builds.gg started I have gone through several stages of development. The case before this one was huge...
My childhood dream had come true (almost) in September 2018, when I bought the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic (by der8auer). The dream was to build in a Lian Li case... So the dream came almost true, because back in the days Lian Li only manufactured full aluminium cases and PC-O11DX has little aluminium in it - besides the narrow front panel, most of the aluminium weight wise was in the cooling section of the build (360mm AIO and FTW3 heavy rad).
Louqe Ghost S1 looks more like a Lian Li case (in fact it should be manufactured by Lian Li as far as I know), although it's still not full aluminium because of the steel "backbone" in the middle. I love the looks of this case and the challenge it poses in terms of building. It's definitely a case for advanced builder and not in terms of building - the building in it was a breeze. I assembled the whole system in 2 hours after sauna and some beers in the middle of the night. My homework was very good though. I watched every possible build guide and review of this case and chose components carefully. I was planning to build with my 7700k from PC-O11DX, but managed to sell it a week before the Ghost S1 came in.
But this build is still not complete... I am struggling with an idea of 240mm AIO with Noctua fans and no additional "tophat" to achieve sort of "no hood" style.
I don't know if I should do it and boost the 9700k to 5 GHz all core overclock?!
Small updates to this build:
9900k@4,9Ghz w/ Alphacool waterblock (4,5Ghz ring clock, 3300Mhz CL16 RAM OC)
PNY 3090 with waterblock from Alphacool, 240mmx45mm rad and NF-A12x25 fans@70%
Getting water temp close to 50C under heavy load. Have not undervolted the GPU yet. CPU temps are around 75C average and with 85C+ peaks while gaming. GPU temp is below 60C (memory junction up to 80C).
Plan to do a undervolt for GPU to lower fan speed.
