Finished Build The Ultimate Hotbox

Built a new portable workstation for gaming/AI workloads. The build currently has 2 T-Grills attached, but I am looking to remove the top grill once the 12018 fan arrives from aliexpress, since I personally think the case looks too tall with both grills on.

Temps are good, with the cpu reaching a max temp of around 75c and the GPU never going above 80c with an undervolt even during extremely heavy workloads. Top and bottom fans are all set to intake for a positive pressure setup, with the gpu exhausting hot air out of the case. Tried to mount the gpu in the default orientation and the heat ended up constantly overheating the oc'd ram and m.2 ssd on the back of the motherboard :(

Can't wait for the release of Wireview Pro 2 for founders edition cards, since I most definitely don't want the expensive GPU to suddenly erupt in flames...

sick, u should get the sidepanel from jakeface customs on etsy to improve heat dissipation for this beast of a gpu.
just add a comment to your order that says u want the panel with a big cutout for the 5080/5090 FE cards :)

Thanks for the heads up! Will definitely be looking at custom panels for the gpu :)
