Some of the things I'm going to try to do:
- replace the stock l9a fan with a nf-a12x15 pwm. Some dremeling will probably be needed to get it to fit above the I/o (tall wifi shroud).
- replace stock zotac 1080 mini fan shroud with 2x nf-a9x14 pwm fans.
- add a temperature sensor underneath the gpu heatsink so I have full control over fan speed via the motherboard.
- add a plate for usb c over the unused c8 power opening on the case.
This post has changed a few times and I'm unsure if this post should be here or somewhere else. I'm not really doing anything worthy of a build log and the computer is already built, so if there's a better spot for it, I'm fine with it being moved.
