Beautiful build, but yeah, there's a HUGE problem: The card can't breathe. Also, it looks like you have front and rear intake which is gonna be less than ideal. I'd absolutely put flip that rear to exhaust and if you don't already, I'd also to top exhaust You can skip the pads and do K5 Pro. It's way cheaper than buying all the different correct sized pads

I’m planning to replace that rear component, man. The exhaust setup with the two fans on my AIO cooler is working well—just pointing upward. I’ll be buying some sag brackets, which are only about £5. Thanks for the tip on the K5 Pro; it seems sleek but might be a bit more complicated than pads.

Remember always: we all err. That’s a good point. My bracket was just a few pennies wrapped in tape—only 40 cents. It looks really sloppy in the video. But since it’s hidden under the cover, it disappears once everything is put back together.

I managed it by getting the right gelid pads and adjusting everything. Swapped out the 2 and 3mm pads, added the GPU stand, changed orientation, and removed some old Corsair LEDs and controllers to simplify things and cut power use. Temperatures stayed similar with the new pads, though I noticed the VRAM was very dry and oily—probably due to overheating. I flipped the rear fan so now there are three front intakes, one rear exhaust, and two top AIO coolers. Thanks for the advice everyone!
