but the small holes, looks like more than 50% restrictive...

Vent holes are cut meant to allow more air flow. Grilles are added to prevent stuffs to be dropped into the rig itself. I believe all casing which has ventilation holes they are covered with grilles as well. Anyway mine is 3mm holes. It should do fine. :)

I can't give u a definite answer now as some of my fans and one of my GPU are removed due to getting ready for the wc setup. But last week for me when I was still using dual Strix 1080ti, the temps was decreased by 2 - 3 degrees. Do note this is the TOP card which has little fresh cool air and its running air cool.

But I could confirm, by using the tissue paper I am able to see the air is moving in and out of the case with not much restriction.

Comparing to the default case panel I believe my mod is definitely an improvement to the air flow. But if u want technical numbers I will get back to u when I done up my wc setup.

Nice! Now that I see your setup I super tempted to try powder coat the Front and Top panel with Silver colour!

:D
