    Cooling Air cooling a Rocket Lake i7-11700 in a Silverstone ML08 (oh boy...)

    Thanks for the suggestions @BaK, I actually started with a Black Ridge, but it wouldn't fit without taking off one of the VRM heatsinks (which I was kinda unwilling to do at the time). If all else fails I may attempt that, cause I feel the Black Ridge would do a better job overall at cooling...

Light gaming is mostly fine, CPU bounces around between 70-80C. However any real stress on the CPU and I...

    GPU Silverstone ML08 - GPU Compatibly

Reading over Silverstone's forums, I'm getting mixed messages., but seems like I will need a card that is 50mm or less. Looks like an AMD 6800 Reference card would do the job, but finding one it...

    CPU MSI MEG z590i UNIFY (IO Shroud Clearance)

    Does anyone happen to know the standoff height of the IO Shroud on the MSI MEG z590i UNIFY Motherboard? I'm trying to determine if the Alpenfoehn Black Ridge CPU Cooler will fit, I don't mind if it overhangs the PCIe slot a bit as I'll be using a riser cable. I found this post, showing it just...
