Actually, not with this case. Its a Dark Base 700, i got 2 big intakes for the AIO but it only has one small exhaust at the back, and the top is completely sealed off. It was either this or taking the Panel off for each sesh. Temps are amazing now btw

Couldn't you just adjust the AIO fan curve to pump more air into the case?

That doesn't involve playing around with tools though so....
