For streamlining the airflow, has any one tried to cover open gaps inside their PC case? I know it will never be close to 100% seal as it is not meant to be but I just want to know of options that could be available.

Please see pictures...

In the current setup, the fans on the left and top left are blowing out and the fans on the right side are blow in.


On the right side, are there better options to cover the gaps besides clear tape?
On the left side, are there covers for the PCI slot covers?


Thanks.

Just an FYI, your rams should be in slots A2 and B2 as opposed to B1 and B2.

In the current setup, the fans on the left and top left are blowing out and the fans on the right side are blow in.
You mean intake and exhaust. To also add, if this is the case you're working with;

Then you should try and see what sort of temps you get with all panels taken off. The case is badly designed for 2024's standards and if you had the option to remove merely the front fascia, you'd see that the front intake fans would be able to draw cooler, ambient air into the build.
