Thermalright True Spirit Power 140
Lights out.
Not the best cable management job (ran into an issue of having to use a modular molex from my old systems spares box, maybe some custom cables would fix that?), also might notice I had to modify the CPU cooler back plate as the back plate already on the motherboard itself got in the way, so I dremelled the two tabs off the end but left the mylar plastic as it was just to be safe.
Back to AMD after 10 years.
This was my first personal computer build since 2008, the Enthoo Luxe case had been in sitting in the box waiting for this day to come since 2017, I just didn't have the money for parts at the time, besides the CPU, CPU cooler, motherboard, and the memory everything else pretty much came out of the old system.
Although I am planning on getting the MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z GPU in the near future, to replace the 4G 970 GTX.
*Update*
Couldn't get hold of the MSI 2060 that I wanted last week or the week before, the missus was okay with me getting the EVGA RTX 2060 KO Ultra though. With MSI Afterburner it clocks a maximum of 2070MHz, and memory will go to 1750MHz, temps stay under 76C.
