[SOLVED] Case layout

[CasperVanDien]

Hi, between these cases wich one do you think have the best temperatures with air cooling (not watercooling of any kind) for GPU and CPU with maybe a small overclock. Mostly interested in GPU cooling since you can get a cheap OEM cooler like the hyper evo 212 for cpu and that will keep it cool without any issues. Keep in mind that all of these cases will have the max number of fans installed and a room temp of 20 celcius.

1)Inwin 101c. With the new trend of top monted PSU (pretty standar back in the days), front side and rear exhaust, bottom intake. https://www.in-win.com/es/gaming-chassis/101c

2)Rosewill Cullinan PX. PSU on side chamber, intake front and bottom, exhaust rear and top. https://www.rosewill.com/product/cullinan-px-blue-atx-blue-gaming-cube-computer-case/

3)Thermaltake V21. Cube form factor.PSU on the bottom, horizontal motherboard vertical mounted GPU with mesh on GPU side and on top. https://www.thermaltakeusa.com/core-v21.html

4)The new Coolermaster MB311L presented this year. With a more common layout, bottom mounted PSU with shroud, mesh front as intake, rear and top as exhaust. https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mini-tower/masterbox-mb311l/

5)Lian Li 011D Mini presented at CES2020, with a similar layout as the Rosewill Cullinan PX (number 2) but with frontside fans like the Inwin101c (number 1) . https://www.anandtech.com/show/15264/lian-li-unveils-the-o11d-mini-versatile-38-liter-chassis

its kind of a long post but I did not found any info about these cases layout comparison and wich one is the best overall. Im open to sugestions about other cases also with a 100$ budget in mind.

Depending on the case, that's not ideal at all.
Doing so may create hotspots inside the case, or disrupt airflow, making temps worse, or actually achieving better temps, but at the cost of a varying degree of added noise.
AirBLOW > airflow = bad.

Hands down, #s 4 & 5 are the best of your provided options.
#3 is a good runner up. If you choose to do the horizontal motherboard placement, use a blower model gpu. The usual fan models will be too close to the side glass panel to keep cool.
#s 1 & 2 are the worst.
