Got my hands on T520 finally; will be able to mount by weekend. I am going to attach my ID Cooling 12cm slim fan on this.

not without top hat.

Yes, custom power cables with silver plated wires. They are from Sanshuimod on Taobao (I suspect that this is same seller as DreamBigRay from ETSY as I had seen one guy from Reddit ordering from DreamBigRay on ETSY and his cables were in bag labelled as Sanshuimod). Overall this costed me about...

Yes, my strategy is as follows; irst look at seller ratings and shortlist which have all three ratings 4.8+ Next, item which are looking at; should have good enough number of sales and reviews. Reviews with pictures are even better. At last, ask seller question from that bubble icon if you...

Yes, it is asking to signing up / logging in. Google Translate is very helpful in this. Take screenshot of this page and just use Google Translate. Even I am not Chinese speaker/reader!

It is super easy. On Taobao app,after landing on page of item you want, click on bubble like icon at bottom. Only caveat is, you have to use Chinese language - Google Translate is enough for it.

I am composing a build log. I will include more pictures. But this will take some time. If you wish to have picture of any particular part/section, do let me know. I will be happy to snap and upload it here.

@tinyitx thanks for posting link to Chiphell mega comparison of coolers. I liked Cooler Master Geminii M5 T520’s performance and it’s VFM-ness. I think I will be going for it.

This is so much helpful !

How do I mount fan ? Current one just goes into aluminium heatsink thread.

Yes, I tried it as exhaust in current Build but it increased temps by couple of degrees ! I will check again with new cooler when I get it.

Is it good idea to get just heatsink of Thermalright AXP-90 ? I can put either Scythe 120mm or Noctua 140mm fan which I already have. Noctua 140mm NF-A14 PWM (300-1200;1500 RPM/19.2;24.6dBA/68-82.4CFM/1.51;2.08mmH2O) Scythe 120mm SM1225GF12SH-P...

Build quality feels very good. Packaging is okayish but it secures all panels with good cushioning. Another point about color difference between side panels and front panels; it is not that significant and evident unlike other clones.
