I bet this thing cools just fine with an additional 2-4 fans.
I'm not sure where you would put them. That front intake looks choked to death.

after watching a few unboxing vids and checking it out on reddit. you can definitely do it. there are even mount holes on the front to add intake (be it restricted or not)
but 2 exhaust up top will still help remove any stagnant heat coming off the GPU.
I read somebody getting the GPU down to 62 during warzone. which is definitely above average for aircooled rigs.
my personal suggestion would just be run it open on the side until you buy a cheap case to move everything into. but some people will never want to venture into that side of things and I understand that.

just an FYI, amazon has a used model of that same prebuilt for more than $100 less.

oof, bear with me. this was earlier at work. I just punched in unboxing vids for the model and went to watching all of them.
this one has a few pretty good views of the top and front grilles. (he's an awful reviewer though, I muted)
but if im a gambling man, you can easily slip a double 120 in the front of the GPU and def. 2 on the top. I bet it would transform that things overall temps.

Let me know in the next day or two if you want this 6700x, otherwise gonna list it on FB or something

I think you probably *can* get two fans on intake, but they would be sucking air through a straw. I think it would probably start fine, but the longer the gaming session went on, the higher the temps would climb. And that those poor gpu fans would be screaming.
But, I would be wrong. No reason not to pick it up, test it out, and then buy another case if you need. That case just makes me really nervous

Go ahead and list it. I’m going to try my luck with the script. I’m not needing it for another couple of months so hoping for more stock to catch up

I should have just kept the order and sold it at cost to someone for $1529 and pocket the CC points

Tune into Falcodrin’s twitch around 8:45 and you’ll start hearing about what’s being carted. The 6700xt lasts a while, everything else ya gotta be quick

just keep an eye on the chat, he'll start talking about it when EU drops
last time EU dropped right around 9am and US about 9:15. they say it can be anytime from 9-lunch, but usually around 9:30
