Do you by any chance have a picture of this? Since I can't understand how this is executed. Especially when in so close to the riser cable etc.
sorry I didn't take any picture before transplanting the build to a new case. Basically think about it this way:
the M.2 drive has thermal pad on, the thermal pad touches the scotch tape and then the tape touches the riser cable
So you're effectively having the riser cable inbetween the thermal pad of your M.2 drive and the spine of the case? Hence the riser cable getting all that heat?
easy solution,
I wrapped pci riser in thermal tape and put it between gpu and case.
I put thermal pad between rear ssd and case for better temps on ssd.
.
I just gotta ask you all here; what are you even doing on your system? If your M.2 SSDs get so hot that it literally needs active cooling by a thermal pad onto the case itself?
Are you all transferring massive amount of files all day long and pushing your SSDs to it's limit or what?
I'm personally just casually web browsing, Youtube, some Photoshop etc and no problems what so ever. My Samsung 970 EVO 2TB barely ever sits above even 10% usage.
It all just sounds very extreme if you literally need a thermal pad, that's attached to the case itself, to keep temps down on your M.2 SSDs.

proper cables with a good cooling !!
p.s. not mine.
and here you can get it, I guess soon..
also, here is good tool, check if you made a mistake with your ram

That 8 pin CPU cable is very long. Mine from PSlate customs is shorter and perfect.
Plus, my build looks pretty much like that build you linked. It's nothing special.

Ram Latency Calculator

How do you check with that link if you made a mistake with your ram exactly? All that link does is tell you in nanoseconds what a specific frequency and latency is.
Doesn't say anything if it's bad or what not. I wouldn't trust that site at all, doesn't look legit and doesn't give any information on your own actual memory sticks.
It just says in general regarding latency and frequenzy.
Yet again another example regarding unsure wether you actually know what you are talking about or are just trolling around... Some users may actually believe that what you link may help them, when in reality it literally doesn't do anything. It just tells you in nanoseconds what an specific latency and frequency is.
New to the forum but wanted to say these custom motherboard cables I got on etsy made it feel like I got a replacement Dan case with the improved cable situation. Feels good man.
I am interested in purchasing a 5700XT for my v.20 and was wondring if the Sapphire Pulse 5700XT fits. Sapphire's site says it is 46.5mm which i know is too large. Has anyone had any luck fitting this card in their case? With or without removing the backplate?
I have a slightly slimmer Sapphire Nitro 580 and it does not fit. I have to have the top-back side panel pulled out.
I wonder why did you choose that gpu offer "PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon Rx 5700 Xt" which fits well.
did you find any performance comparison ?
here is a good review of the most popular rx5700xt cards
but quite frankly, nvidia 2080ti is the way to go

Are you comparing the 2080 Ti to the RX 5700 XT? If you are, don't. The 2080 Ti is much more powerful than the RX 5700 XT, it's not even fair to compare those two really.

I see he recommends faster shipping for outside USA but I can't stomach paying $40 for shipping when the cable itself is $40
Well I understand where you're coming from, although I then paid for all the cables that I would potentially ever need for the case and hence it was an easy choice that way.
A shame there isn't a bigger UK community here that makes themselves known - we could split shipping costs
