I went with a Dell Alienware R11 earlier this year, an i9 10900kf, rtx 3090 and 32gb ram (upgraded to 64gb a few weeks ago). And yes the Dell 3090 is a specific model as the case is small and won’t fit a full length 3090. It has 2 fans only and also exhausts out the back of the case. It runs at about 72C max temp while gaming or running MSFS which I am ok with. It’s warmer than normal 3090s in a larger case with more fans but it was the only way for me to get a 30xx somewhat easily without eBay prices and I didn’t already have a gaming PC. From what I have read on benchmarks the Dell 3080/3090s are down about 7-9% from full size cards on performance but I haven’t researched if that’s due to speed or temps or what. I have not overclocked the gpu and run the standard fan curves controlled by the gpu.
