Imagine having a big Noctua on every component...

EDIT: I wanted a Noctua but with my two big GPUs, there is no space for a Noctua... and depends on which motherboard also includes water cooling tubes already built-in.

Much more space on CPU (at least you see the RAM and other components), yeah, depends on how you built it. The PC can "breath". When I said "you need a lot of space" I mean on the CPU, if your RAM and 2 GPU is all near there... all the heat gets concentrated.

DIY Perks on YouTube did a beautiful machine with a Noctua cooler on a GPU. All with a nautical theme.

As I have more GPUs, inside the case it's full of components and with a Noctua (if it even fills in) would be hard to "breath". It's not that difficult to understand...
