PC: Good to go?

I think you remove the front panel better, since it is the airflow inwards problem.

You can also try remove only the top and bottom fan from the front, install the middle fan inside the case, put all the cover back on and try temps. Dont think you will wanna do so much.

singupingu, please advise TS how to improve his temp with the case you recommended.

And I thought you have all the solution for TS? Now you're directing to me?

And remember one thing, recommendation is just a guideline. Ultimate choice is on the buyer itself to choose the parts I recommend or not.

Buy a fan hub or 2x 4pin y-splitter. Link middle fan and back fan to one 4pin on the mobo and top + bottom to another 4pin. Know which pin is to which fans as you will need to tweak from bios side.

Let's say the back and middle fan is CHA-FAN_1 and the top and bottom is CHA-FAN_2. In your BIOS, set CHA-FAN_1 fan curve to run minimal 40% at 35 deg and gradually hitting 100% at 70 deg CPU temp. Set CHA-FAN_2 to run minimal 30% throughout regardless of temp. This will reduce air turbulence in the case.

For the OC settings, offset the vcore to around 1.25V (up to 1.27, lower is better) and frequency to 3.6GHz. Ram oc up to you. Fan curve for CPU FAN put 40% minimal and gradually to 100% at 70 deg.

For gpu, don't oc. Run out of the box setting will do.

Use Aida64 to run cpu stress test and Unigine Heaven to stress gpu. Run both simultaneously and monitor the temp with HWINFO64. Your GPU should hit limit 82 deg (doesn't matter) and CPU shouldn't exceed 85 deg max (games should run 70deg max).

Suggest read up a bit on p-state oc to reduce idle temp and save power.

I never work with the case before, my solutions are just theory.

When I asked you about the airflow, you seem confident that it will not be an issue, so I tot you will have better inputs for TS that I don't already have.

I guess TS is better off leaving the front panel open whenever he game or changing the case altogether in the future.

Your theory is not wrong. It will work. Opening the front panel will feed in fresh air also allowing the positive air pressure to escape. Like what TS tried, side panel works too. But no one use a casing with panels opened, unless it's an old system and you don't mind it is clouded with dust.

On a new system, usually we won't leave any panels open if possible. Let the air that flow in get filtered to reduce dust also. But in return the airflow will be affected definitely. Like the S340 Elite that I using, I initially use it with 1 in 1 out only, with mild oc like that I suggested to TS. And it didn't overheat until shut down also. Of coz, now it's much better with 2 in 2 out. While TS setup is 3 in 1 out, that is why I'm confident airflow is not the biggest thing at play here. We can optimized it to reduce heat trap problem but using with panel open is not a solution I like most either albeit it work. My S340 also have much lower temp with the tg taken away.

The board he use have pretty high stock vcore. Near to 1.3 iirc. The last time I work with that board I use a negative offset to reach the oc settings I suggested above.

Pretty confident it should work. Worst case you can imagine, is to remove all oc. Let everything run stock. Anyway fps for gaming not gonna jump or drop a miles just because of oc. It's just something that is better to have than don't, that's all. Quite a majority of user who bought Ryzen also not overclocking as they worry about warranty complications also.
