My Nerdstation

This build went through a lot of changes before I felt it really speak to me. I started in an NZXT S340 Elite White Case, but quickly realized how starved for air my components were. Moved everything into an H500P Mesh White, Switched my AIO from Intake to Exhaust, then fixed all of my cable management issues. I now have stable temps at decent clocks. Doing a full system slam on Aida 64 for 45 minutes, CPU @5.0Ghz and GPU at stock OC mode, CPU temps peaked at 77c and GPU peaked at 50c. During daily use such as gaming, those are far less.
