I got a PALADIN EX400 ARGB, how to remove the top cover?
it's pressing onto the case cover. do not want additional stress on the mobo, sked micro fracture

maybe it's just my pc case design, bulky air coolers just makes it a real pain in the ass to access the top case fans & cables. if I want to unplug any cables near the cpu area or if wanna remove the top case fans, had to remove my bulky cooler first.

using thermalright FC140 here. considering to just replace with AIO, but I only bought this cooler like last year, fairly recent, feels wasteful to get another.

For air cooler, top exhaust is not a necessity.

Like this build, air flow from front to back.

Not all people care about noise. Some PC can be placed further from user. PSU position is traditionally on top for old computers. The hot air in this case would be exhausted from the rear before being pull into the PSU.

So many fans pointing in but zero pointing out, if to use convection to vent hot air out, it will cause more air swill inside the case (cuz too positive pressure) before going out, not very air flow efficient. You could take one of the bottom fans for the rear side.

LOL insta thermal throttle! i9 cannot use midrange tower cooler, it wont able to cope. Either 140mm dual towers ie D15, PA140, FC140, A720, or high perf 120s ie PS120 Evo, or 360/420 AIO.
