Just starting a discussion, since I'm not seeing people post and this is still new.

What case are you using, what have you used, and what did you like best?

I've only had two. NFC S4 Mini Classic and FormD T1 V2.

I really liked the S4 Mini because of its size, but it wasn't easy to work on. The FormD although larger, much easier to work on and no heating issues.

NR200!
I just installed a 3080 from /r/hws yesterday night.
Running it deshrouded with Arctic P12s as intake/case fans underneath.

I have the NR200 too, would you recommend the additional bottom fans? Did you notice gpu temp/noise improvement?

My build is based off the advice in the M&M NR200 series: on youtube

Since you have a FE card with the 'flow through' fan design, I think you'd get some benefit out of assisted intake from bottom fans.
To get a noise reduction, you'd probably have to set up a fan curve for the GPU in afterburner and the intakes using FanControl or similar.

For my own build, I've always had a deshroud on my GPUs, so I don't really have a comparison for temp/noise.
My 3080 games around 65C with decent noise (though inaudible with earbuds in).

Thank you for sharing your experience. I already undervolted my GPU a bit and played with the fan curve but the FE can get LOUD.
