A few things have happened over the past few weeks. Used the Big Shuriken 3 for a day with the lid on and I finally discovered the meaning of turbulence noise. Swapped it out for a Noctua L12 Loque Edition. The cooler is great, but has problems with the RAM clearance. Either the fan is pressing against them or the heatpipe, so I moved their posistioning a little. Also had a friend up in Dundee mod the bracket for me so I can fit my ASUS 1650 LP.
The other change you may notice is the presence of a PCIE to OCulink to U.2 to M.2 setup. Means I can have a third M.2 or a U.2 but not have it in the space between the TFX PSU or GPU. The U.2 is screwed into the holes on the front bracket of the case.
Finally the ODD was moved out the case, which makes much more sense. Took me a while to realise that.
Future plans:
Modding/redesigning the top panel for better ventilation (Might need a case designer to help me if I go down the route of redesigning it, but once I have funding for that).
Changing the SDD setup. I'm imagining a simple boot drive and then two Sabrent Rocket 4 Pluses. One will be a game drive and the other a content creation drive. Not sure if 2TB is enough for either.
Swapping the RAM to VLP to make mounting easier.
Need to wait for 32GB sticks being eaiser to source. I would like to go up to 128GB. Would running VLP allow for me to have a 120mm x 25mm fan on the L12?
