yesterday spent 4 hours to upgrade PSU, change the AIO radiator to side, GPU to bottom, ordered 2pcs of noctua 12x15 fans... and swap out the tempered glass with vented panel... now my gpu max 70c
Which motherboard are you also using? If you're on Ryzen, the Gigabyte and MSI B550/X570 boards restrict a lot of airflow options in many ITX cases due to the AM4 socket being too high on the board, blocking the use of top 120mm fans above the cooler (the video I linked earlier demonstrates that as well).
I'm not a fan of most ITX cases using TG anyway. The cooling performance and flexibility is so much better with mesh side panels.
Sounds like you're using a 3-slot GPU - which model in particular are you using?

im using auros x570i mobo, my gpu 2.5 slots, yesterday i tested put the Noctua S12A fan in the bottom but it hitting the GPU, then so happened i found there's sales in lazada for Noctua 12x15 fan, RM188.5 for 2pcs after discounted, so quickly placed order. another reason why i prefer TG because i bought a 5 inch screen, was thinking to put the little screen to show some temperature, something like this

Ah, with air cooling, you're gonna have to sacrifice at least 1 top mounted fan for exhaust. Less ideal that way. For air cooling, the Asus and Asrock ITX boards are far better in the NR200 and similar ITX tower designs.
Looks like a real NZXT H1 killer is coming. Fits 280mm AIOs so CPU thermals can also be NR200 level, without the GPU suffocated by high temps like the H1.
Just finished up my Black FormD T1 build. Had an old Cougar QBX which was fine but this is on another level. Really is an awesome case to build. Went with a pretty vanilla 120mm AIO to start out. The H60 isn't perfect as it needs another power cable which I wasn't super happy with. Would love to get a custom loop in there eventually but running like a dream so far.
Had to play around with the PSU placement a bit to keep the cables from hitting the fan too - still a rookie at cable management. Ended up flipping the PSU and inverting it from the default position, worked out great though. Can't recommend the case enough
