Optimizing Your NCASE M2: Best GPU Position for RTX 5080 & 9800X3D

How much does GPU orientation affect thermals in the NCASE M2? In this video, I test three different setups: Reference, Inverted, and Vertical GPU configurations using the RTX 5080 and Ryzen 7 9800X3D. With the Nvidia RTX 5080 Founders Edition introducing a new cooling design and the 9800X3D known for its high efficiency, I put each GPU mounting style through the test to see which one runs coolest in this small form factor SFF case.
