By the way, where did you get those aviation connectors?

Thank you! And same here. With the right parts and fitment, you get some amazing builds!

I got the Aviation Connectors from here:

Hooking up Full Circle to the TV in the livingroom was good.

July 9, 2020 - Still Got It

After getting the Noctua A12x15 to upgrade the CPU cooling, I compared it to my drawing of the fan earlier this year. I still got it.

Spoiler: Still got it

July 9, 2020 - Updating The CPU Cooler And Adding A Button

I wanted to install the Dynatron T318 with a Noctua A12x15 in Full Circle for the following reasons:

1. To test this: https://hardforum.com/threads/lp-sff-cooler-mounting-adaptors-for-am4.1929996/post-1043029781
2. HaLower temperatures on the RAM
3. Less noise due to a larger fan
4. Because I can

I do need a button for resetting the CMOS as I will undervolting the CPU and overclocking the RAM.

I also decided to connect the HDPLEX 400W AC-DC fan to the motherboard to run it full time while the machine is powered on.

I soldered the button and the fan to their respective leads.

Spoiler: Soldered button and fan

I then installed everything.

Spoiler: Let's go!

Spoiler: The fan looks pretty close to the panel

Spoiler: That's mighty close. Oh well.

Spoiler: Power input and CMOS reset button

And with that, I'm done the update.

Spoiler: Update complete

How are the T318 temperatures?

Given that the heatsink weighs a little more than the L9a-AM4, it should fare a little better. I have yet to thoroughly test it.
