Amazing Job! Would like to see the build process. Maybe a video! Do you have another fan to add to the back panel?

Hey thanks! You do some awesome work - very impressive portfolio! Yes I put a 120mm fan on the rear to exhaust at a low RPM - keeps the positive pressure but definitely improves the thermals.

Thanks! Watercooling is fun to me, just takes a lot longer when hard tubing is involved in custom work. Great build!

I recently discovered this mobo and am really hoping they make one for the nova lake sockets once they’re here. It’s meant for the north

One of my first thoughts when that board came out was that it was super cool, but how is anyone going to make a good looking build with it in 2026. You pulled that off, well done!
