I was looking at the Dynamic case also when i was thinking of my upgrade to the open loop cooling.  It is smaller on the top and the bottom which affects how much space you have to install the rads and work with internally.  I went with ordering the O11XL instead to allow me more room to work with and the larger rads.  The addition of fans on the bottom should really help with adding cooler air from the bottom of the PC up into the case which should help reduce temps and heat soak. 
 
The only thing left is that I am thinking of adding a third rad to my system.  I already have two EK Classic PE 360mm rads which I intended to use on the top and side while having 3 fans on the bottom pulling air into the case.  The side rad fans I was going to set as intake and the top rad fans to exhaust.  But now I thinking of getting a third rad which would be the EK SE 3600mm rad for the side which I would like to set up in push/pull intake and move the PE rad to the bottom with the fans set up to intake.  I always planned on having the rear case fan set to exhaust from the start, but I have to take the time to measure up the space I have behind the side mount to see if it would fit the SE rad along with the unifan and still allow the rear panel to be installed without mods.  
 
The XL case is just so much larger that it allows easier access and more room to work with.  It's sitting on my shelf along with all my parts just waiting on the water cooled GPU so I can work on putting it all together.

So here's an update, got the new heatsinks in, haven't had a chance to game on them yet, will be doing that shortly, but they seem to be pretty good stuff.  They're light, but the base is fairly thin, so that makes sense.  I scratched one with a screw driver just to make sure they're real aluminum - pretty sure they are:
 



Why not just do a big one?  seems like you could get a 1" tall heatsink maybe 100mm x 140mm.  I think with more surface area it might be better cooling.  I did find that 1000rpm was the best for noise myself. 
 
I can't tell with my back plate if the tiny heatsinks (4mm  high) has done anything... it might just be the effects of the fan I have blowing at it.  couple degrees lower... but seems marginal.




Trying to keep the obstruction to a minimum where it can be minimized, only putting them in the areas where there's actually something on the other side of the backplate to transfer heat from, using this as a guide, the ones at the "top" and "bottom" on my picture are over the VRM areas (that are obviously NOT on the back of the card, and I'm unsure if there's thermal pads there either):
 

Note, the VRM boxes I made are a little off, but close enough:

 
I'm fixing to run Cyberpunk for a bit & see how the temps shake out with an ambient that's fairly controlled, between 70-71F.


Can you send me a link to those heat sinks.

2 360mm rads are more than enough for a CPU + GPU loop.  Adding a 3rd will show minimal changes as it will enter diminishing returns but either way, that is all up to you.  

I would test all rad spaces as intake so they can be introduced with the coolest ambient air while leaving the bottom as intake and the unfiltered rear as exhaust.

Couldn't you guys just stick a low profile actively cooled CPU cooler on the backplate instead of all those mini heatsinks? Those coolers can handle 65-100Watts

I'm missing something, can someone tell me or PM me where to get the Classified Tool for my kingpin?

Running the ReBar 520w Bios but it seems to be power limited at 450w, anyone else running into this issue?

Should be able to find it in here.

If you figure it out let us know. I seem to be stuck at 450 too.

Thanks.  I thought I might find it on a more official place, but it runs.  Again, thanks!
