Am I able to cut the case to fit a Scythe BS2 Rev.B - Im expecting the fan to stick out as that is 12mm thick - but the heatsink should theoretically be at the edge of the case's enclosure or probably wont close assuming its heatsink is 46mm. (stock cooler and fan - 58mm)
Since im currently using a 8700. As nice as the Cryorig C7 and the Noctua 92mm x 14mm thick fan does well (does worse in pull vs standard push) it ranges near 80c+ with spikes tappin at mid 90cs.
I was thinking since the Scythe BS2 Rev.B can get better temps - i'd be willing to mod the case to fit the cooler.
If the heatsink is perfect - fit with the case closed or very close to it - it should be easier to gauge the cut position smoothly.
Thoughts on the idea? Is barely sufficient to cool with a cryrorig c7 as I do use RPCS3 a lot. So naturally the load is extremely high than gaming usually. Apparently person delidded their 8700 -
While thats with a basic 2xfan AIO temp -
interestingly thing was when I asked about stock temps as a reference the guy said "With an Intel heat sink, the processor had a maximum of 75 degrees after the processor."
I might give delidding a shot since I already... delidded it but after I return from overseas so I can aqquire the Liquid Electrical Tape https://www.jaycar.com.au/liquid-electrical-tape-thread-locker-black/p/NM2832 to place on top the circuit of the CPU.
