Little Light 8700k
First time messing with clock/voltage settings. Didn't go too crazy. Didn't go past 5.0Ghz CPU but I believe I probably could've. I've been playing a lot of Destiny 2 lately so I got a little light!
Before I had to route the GPU cables over the tube above it but found 180 degrees 8-pin adapters on amazon. Cleans up the cabling and works well. I switched from a header powered DDC pump to a Molex powered one recently. Luckily didn't have to re-sleeve the cables for aesthetics for the frontal view. Custom length power cables make things easier.
The side panels have plenty of perforation so I'm skipping the TG panel mod. I'm going to add in an extra Noctua NF-A12x15 or Noctua NF-A9x14 for side intake. The temp difference might be negligible but the DDC pump with heat sink needs airflow over it. The VRMs are okay but it would help there too.
CPU was delidded and TIM switched to Conductonaut.
CPU benchmarks were done using x264. GPU benchmarks were done using Heaven 4.0 and real-world testing on Destiny 2 and The Outer Worlds.
