Temperatures
We tested with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, MSI B550I Gaming Edge WiFi, 16GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB as well as an Asus GTX 1060 Strix and the included power supply. A Cooler Master PL240 Flux is responsible for cooling the CPU.

I tested the fans on the radiator as both Intake and Exhaust. For control purposes, the “optimum” run without housing is used, which provides the minimum theoretical temperature of the components. The AiO pump is set to a fixed 100%, the radiator fans to 75% PWM and the graphics card fans to 60%.
First it’s Prime95’s turn to simulate an (unrealistically high) load on the processor. The graphics card only runs passively for the image output in this test:

In the second run, the focus is then more on the graphics card with a stress test through MSI Kombustor. But the processor is also fully utilized with the CPU Burner on 4 cores:

All in all, this confirms what one can already imagine from a purely logical point of view. If fresh air is drawn into the case via the intake through the radiator and warms it up, the temperatures of the processor are better but all other components are warmer. If you use the fans or the radiator as exhaust, the temperature of all components in the case drops, but the CPU is a bit warmer.
Incidentally, HYTE also comes to the identical conclusion itself:
By the way, it is very exemplary that the manufacturer tests different configurations and then passes the recommendation on to the buyer. I think that should become standard. As a little bonus, they even made a pass with an 80mm fan in the lid. Depending on the graphics card, however, there are space problems, even though the results are quite tempting.
Unsurprisingly, the small case can’t keep up with an Open Benchtable test despite seemingly many options for circulating the air. Especially the processor gets significantly warmer. The difference is still limited for the graphics card, RAM and voltage converters in this hardware configuration.
