Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Ghost S1 and it came with 2 large tophats. I had my first attempt at an itx pc put into a NZXT H210. When the ghost arrived I put my hardware in there and everything seems to run fine...

Current CPU is 9900KF

Current GPU is RTX 4070

Current PSU is a corsair sf600

I have a NZXT Kraken X52 put in the top hat and put two 120mm fans inthe bottom hat, both exhausting. Not sure i need the bottom hat but i had the fans and just put it together.

When I run cinebench 2024, my cpu temps jump to like 91, got a score of like 655.

Anyway, I was interested in upgrading parts. Was looking at the 14900K for the CPU and maybe the Asrock or the Asus Z790. Looking into putting an AIO up top again, maybe the EK AIO. Was going to keep the GPU and the PSU.

The machine does a lot: Gaming, software development, music production.

Am I going to have cooling issues here? Should I downgrade the CPU? I don't have custom cabling and I feel like my current psu cables are blocking up a lot of room, possibly affecting airflow? I'll probably get custom cabling when I decide to upgrade.

Thanks in advance!
