Tiny board in big world

Mounted a 240 radiator in the top which I’ve never seen done, wasn’t easy to get in and fit everything. Big itx case but turned out beautiful and I wanted to let people know that the thermals in this case.........ARE GOOD!!!!! Everyone says it’s horrible. Yes my 5950x is cooled with two 240mm rads so that stays frosty but the 3090 I can’t say enough about, msi has built an amazing cooler on the gaming trio, I’ve been playing battlefield v for the past few days and the gpu has not reached past 68c. Now I have a waterblock and had the gpu waterblock before but unfortunately it does not fit waterblocked in this case. So I had to rebuild the card back to air cooled and to my surprise it runs cooler now that I changed out the thermal pads for grizzly pads and some of the thermal paste. I did not use liquid metal because I don’t know I’m wrong but I’ve read use should never use liquid metal when it’s Nickel on copper. But I could be wrong but I think it’s something to do with the copper but I’ll find out at some point lol also I was fully prepared to reengineer the case to fit more rads. It said the top didn’t fit one and I made a 240 fit and was gonna add the 120 in the bottom and run the whole thing on a loop but like I said the card water block was too big. The inlet and outlet on the ek water block stuck out to far. It’s to bad I don’t have a 3090fe seeing as they have the water blocks that have inlet and outlet points at the end of the block, that would have worked or a thinner block. Even my asus 3070 water blocked didn’t fit. I was gonna brake that back down so it have the strix card in it to match everything but who doesn’t want a small for factor 5950x with a 3090? Yea enough said lmao.
