Not for me (I'm an air cooling snob), but clearly a well thought out and unique design. Well done!

FTFY Disregard aesthetics, acquire frames.

I feel like you have just enough space for a laptop cooler to fit in the limited space you have next to the pump. Laptop heatsinks are meant to cool ~15w chips, which is around what the x570 chipset runs at IIRC. You would have to do some heatpipe bending and make a custom mount to make it...

Interesting question, but how is side panel rigidity? I have a cooler that's too tall for the case (Dark Rock TF), but I'm debating "Hot-Rodding" it and cutting a hole for the cooler to poke through. I'm assuming side panel rigidity would suffer severely, but would it make the frame not stable?

If I'm being brutally honest, I don't like the stand. I can't think of any designs that would fit better though. That's my only complaint. Everything else is awesome.

Been waiting for this one ;)

You have a source for that? I can't see any mention of that on the thread for the cooler. The fan that comes with it is a 15mm fan, if you replace it with an NF-A9x14 it's the same height.

I fail to see that as true, the results seem to be well within margin of error. That being said, this isn't a thread about either of these coolers; I don't see why we are still arguing about it. If you have a problem with my syntax or my sources, take it up with me in PM's so we don't continue...

I was simply trying to provide the AXP-90 as an alternative to the is-47K and Black Ridge, I did not mean to insult you in any way. I shall try to refrain from making absolute statements in the future if it pleases you so. However, In terms of BR vs AXP-90, the fact of the matter is that the...

The AXP-90 with a 120mm fan is probably comparable to the BR with a 120mm fan. The AXP-90 simply has far more thermal mass than the BR. Still, the standard AXP-90 will give comparable/better results to the standard BR without the motherboard or ram compatibility issues.

Not entirely true, the axp-90 beats the Blackridge by a fair few degrees when configured properly.

If I may play devils advocate, I have an alternate solution for you. I believe that the vents around the top are a decent size, however they do seem to be difficult to "get to." My first thought was to change the airflow pattern. Have you considered having a duct 3d printed for the c7g that...

Extremely sharp build Riba, looks awesome. I was also unaware that the B450-E had an open spot for a wifi card, that's pretty neat. Weird that the IO shield doesn't have cutouts for the antenna though.

Looks really cool! Interested to see how this pans out.

Wait, what's in the question mark bag?
