Hmmm I am not sure why people go for AIO in SG13. The radiator + tubes take a bunch of space in the case. There will be barely any space for air to pass through not to mention that it is hot air from the cpu that will heat other components + the gpu (unless you use it as exhaust or remove the dust filter which will cause tons of dust to enter the case).

I think you can fit a 3060TI Gigabyte Eagle + good 140mm intake fan no problem. Airflow will be better, more cool air will travel from the outside to the motherboard area.

In the stock configuration there is very little room for a decent air cooled setup, and what will fit is blocked by the PSU.

I agree though that the case is not great for water cooling because all other other components get heat soaked. I modified mine because I didn't like the stock layout. However the setup posted above is a lot better than most I have seen in terms of openness.

Hmmm. These solutions are very well crafted but just in my opinion aren't ideal or are much better than regular air cooling.
140mm intake fan does pretty good job at bringing cool filtered air into the case (even with all the PSU cables etc in front).
I sold yesterday a 1 year old video card which was working on higher RPM usually, and it was really very clean of dust. The seller said "were you even using this card? it is so clean".
I checked the temps a week ago and my 9700 was sitting at idle at around 65c+. I blew some air to clean dust from the fans etc (after about 5-6 months of not cleaning it) and the idle temps fell to 50c. So in my opinion a fan behind a filter does seem important.
In the AIO cooling above a 120mm fan is used and the radiator is so fat :/ Can't imagine how hot it is inside the case. I would have bought like H60 or something but without decent exhaust this seems like the wrong move.
