without the side panel.
I have a new 24 pin ordered its bothering me also but that was the one I had and yea still not good life choices.
such a nice looking cooler n520 works like a champ after a good cleaning and the fans are quieting down now that I've been benchmarking it.
all closed up and ready to play
its next to the bed now and plugged in next to it but this is its home until I build my new desk and have room for my other monitor on this dual mount
it runs really cool im very impressed with it this is at idle but even under a stress test it only hits 51c or so
before and after I overclocked the GPU I haven't touched the CPU yet the GPU might need a repaste because the temps are a bit high for me with the overclock but its stable if I want the extra power its their as a preset in afterburner.
no basement so tried to be neat about it along with the front panel connectors
dual 4 pin and the noctua 80mm redux fan in the back and the recycled cooler master evo fan in the top
nice overview I changed the strix out for the wind force to break it back in after I gave it a deep clean and new thermal grizzly paste to make it better than new.
tried to keep it neat out back as well but only so much you can do
how she looks all lit up and running
Marketplace
a look at what a total of $360 and some patience can get you if you hunt for a while everything is off the used market except the QVO ssd and a few cables its running really well for how old this rigs parts are and im very happy with how it turned out.
