This build will be used for SIM racing, in addition to photo/video editing & streaming. I customized most of the cabling to keep it clean, and it came together nicely. The 265KF performed well, scoring just over 2300 single-core & over 37k multi-core (Cinebench R23). Temps and noise are great, it hovered around 50C during single-core testing, and it hovered around 70C multi-core. During all-core testing, I saw the CPU hit 80C for about a half-second, other than that, it stayed under 80C for all benchmarks. The Arctic 'Pro' fans are a bit louder than their 'non-pro' counterparts at higher RPM (over 1300 RPM). However, they're still extremely quiet below 1200RPM, and they rarely spin up. The fans are well made, and they move a lot of air. Overall, thermals and noise are excellent.

The build quality of the chassis is noteable. It is very well built, and the coatings (paint) are good too. I would love to see a version of this chassis with removable/reversable mounting trays for front & top fans. I would also love to see the left side get a mesh basement door to allow more air flow, and to allow access to the basement from both the left & right side of the chassis.

Split the leads for the CPU-cooler and ran them through the unused cpu-cooler mounting holes for a cleaner aesthetic, and better air flow over the VRM/RAM. Attached a few mounting points, behind the mobo tray to help with a bit of cable management. Added some additional shielding to the FP audio cable. All of the wire-to-wire connections are soldered, the solder joints are sealed with epoxy resin (brushed on under the heatshrink, it prevents them from oxidizing). Wire-to-board connections are d-sub crimps.

I'm happy with how it turned out, and I hope you all dig it too!

Have FUN, be CREATIVE, and BUILD ON!
