Upside down GPU = bad for GPU.

Why is that?

Also its not necessarily upside down, more like front side up.
yeah mine works fine

I did notice the passive but I was speaking on the subject of the whole HS weight being on the back.

Actually this might be better as you don't worry about the HS snapping the PCboard in half. To be honest, it might be a decent idea to just attach a tiny fan to shoot the hot air up.

Kinda reminds me of what Silverstone is doing with their Ravens...except up-side-down. They're setting the slots on top so the hot air on a stock cooler is exhausted upward mostly. Also has the heatsink exhausting upwards, so that works well. Also wanted to note that the Ravens have AMAZING GPU temps.

Sadly the Raven also had a severely bad CPU temp, coupled with the extreme price, the lack of anything Aluminum(It's $229, it should at least have some aluminum), and the really bad cable management(all the wires stick out from the rear panel), other than that, it's okay.

I'm just saying. I agree that it's not the perfect case, but it's certainly a step in the right direction and I wish another company would take advantage of the idea...
