Thanks man, yeah it's ace! I like the understated, professional look and it's running really quiet! Also impressed with the cable management as I managed to make it look pretty neat even with a non-modular PSU.

Okay! So here it is with all the fans in! Did some Prime 95 torture testing earlier and the hottest it got was 51C after about 2 hours running at 4.2GHz. Will up it to 4.4 tomorrow and see how she does!

Wouldn't the fans be better facing opposite directions (but the inverse of how shown here), then more cool air is being passed through the d-14 and more hot air exhausted out the other end with the combined tug of the rear fan aswell?

Was pretty fiddly to get that cable under the fans, over the heat sink and into the socket but managed it in the end! All for you Aurus_OC xD

Nice ring, but tbh that top fan nearest the front will just be pulling the hot air back in, your best bet would be to just take that fan out, dont havit exhausting you will have to much negative pressure.

If you both look at the latest picture you will see that the fan setup is now different. I have a 120mm noctua and 140mm noctua intake at the front/bottom with the same going out at the rear/top.
