    Is the front section air-sealed? Could see the RAM and mobo chipset heatsinks getting a bit toasty... I guess Thomas could add some holes for the radiator fans to intake some air maybe from that section if so if the temps are too high though.

    Thanks! :grin:

    There are holes for the intake and exhaust opposite from eachother. Also at the bottom of the radiator in the bottomsheet.
    All the temps are fine! And nothing will be overclocked. CPU idle is for example like 25-30°

    Good to hear. I have some experience with overheating rig designs, so I try to help people avoid it.

    Hi did you solve the heat challenge?

    If not could you create a picture with air flow arrows?

    If I read the pictures correct it looks as if the PSU take air from the botton and blow it either into the radiator volume or?

    The Radiators are the Fans pulling or pushing? in or out of radiator area?

    There is no heat challenge? Never said that ;)
    I'm not overclocking anything, temp's are good.
    You are right about the PSU.
    Fans are pushing in the radiator area, so they blow back the "hot" air from the PSU, instead of pulling it inside the radiator.

    Currently i'm working on a new case, again with wood and acrylic, realy like that combination.
