where do you get aftermarket cpu copper lids?

Looks great, 2TB SSD! 1070! I7 4c/8t in 4.3l. Very cool. Very interested in your GPU temps and what you'll think to the extra RMP needed to get it from cooking your SSDs.

Dude i've got my 1080 mini in my S4 with 2 mechanical 2.5in drives on it's backside, the drive on the back of the GPU core stays below 43c and the other one stays below 35c. this is even after an hour of the GPU at 95% in a GPU intensive section of Watch_dogs2's open world where the 1080mini is at 75c max. If anything the backplate helps minimize heat soaking directly into the drives on the SSD bracket.

Looks sleek! Mind if I ask what screws youre using for securing the grey noctua fan?

 

[CC Ricers]

Looks real amazing. I like the small details such as the black finishing washers paired with hex socket screws for the Redux fan.

 

[TheHig]

Wow. The build turned out great! Totally digging the monochromatic theme and the attention to detail. Very Pro.

I look forward to seeing what you do with that VFD. I am a big fan of those myself.

I'm stealing the idea from @MODZERO , he is the one that discovers we can have an LCD in the S4. I'm just replacing OLED to VFD

@1461748123 those screws you used with the swapped noctua fan are those custom or did they come with the fan?

 

[Curiosity]

Looks great man, fantastic job!

 

[VisualStim]

did you make that GX16 connector?

 

[reyhanwiira]

that was so cool man

I second this question. I MUST KNOW SO I CAN DO IT TOO!!!!

Look up anodized countersunk washers...

Cool. And the screws size so it fits the NH-l9i?

Standard countersunk screws

 

[Craxas]

Found out after trial and error.
Theyre m3 countersunk annodized washers. The screws I got that worked were m3 10mm countersunk. Posting in case anyone else wanted to try that out.

Does the Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 PWM fan give better cooling performance over the stock Noctua L9i Fan?

@CubanLegend ran some tests and posted results here and here.
