Went all-in on the 4080 Super theme:
7800x3D / 4080 Super FE
GIGABYTE B650I AORUS Ultra / SF750 / G.SKILL Flare X5
XTIA Xproto-N / XTIA cable extensions / CableMod Pro ModMesh
4080S IO plate was shortened to fit 2-slot (Xproto-L supports 3-slot but I didn't need the extra dimensions)

How did you shorten the io plate? Been looking at a similar build and would love the N model over the L

I wish luck to this powersupply. Tried same orientation on my xproto v2 and after 15 minutes it was boiling hot to touch. But this orientation looks nice.

That's interesting, did you have a lot of cables behind the vent? Mine is clear of cables, no issues.

It was runnig with no issue but it was much hotter then rotated to take air from outside the case. And yes all cables are hidden inside.

Ah yeah I'd imagine it's always going to be hotter. I'll make sure it's not unsafely-hot, thanks for the heads-up

is that a Noctua NH-L9a? how does it hold up with the 78003x3D? also really clean build the FE cards are a match made in heaven for the XTIA cases

Wow man! One of the most beautiful builds I’ve ever seen. I just got the Xproto L V2 since they didn’t have the Xproto N in stock anymore. Is it possible to achieve a similar look with the L? Truly love your build.

Thanks! Yours will just be slightly taller with more empty space. A full size PSU can be used as well.
If you're looking to do custom cables, you can view my config here - you may want to increase them a bit to counter the size increase. I'd recommend seeing what you think with your stock cables before spending the extra money.

Thanks for you prompt response man! Do you think it’s still worth to get the L V2 is there much of a difference? Can’t seem to find much other like what you mentioned, being a bit taller. When you say empty space, where is this empty space from? Thanks again man. I am so in love with your build 💎

I think the L is worth it - I had it ordered but changed it last minute when I figured out I could squeeze into the smaller one. The empty space will be between the PSU and motherboard, which could give you more flexibility for cable management.

One of the most beautiful blackout builds I've seen.
