Got a fancy airflow-focused case and my GPU temps went up 5 degrees

I swapped my old mesh front case for one of those glass panel ones with three intake fans, thinking it would look cleaner in my setup. Turns out the restricted front panel choked my 3070 and it hit 82C under load compared to 77C before. Anyone else find that looks sometimes hurt cooling more than they help?

Why do people keep buying cases that can't breathe? Form over function always loses.

My buddy Mike dropped 40 bucks on RGB fans and his card ran hotter than a stolen laptop.
