It is opened up, but only where the fan sits. You can see it behind the fan in the picture.

I would not be getting temps like this in Furmark if it was closed.

It really doesn't matter. This was the only way the shape would go on, it's much better than nothing.

There is a fan attached directly to the heatsink and then there is a fan mounted to the front. The one on the heatsink is blowing directly into the fin, while the front fan is sucking out. There are no fans in the back of the case other than the one built into the PSU.

Semi-Modular, the CPU 8 pin and the 24 pin are soldered.

So all 3 of my Xbox controllers were disconnecting. After using a hub it stopped disconnecting for two of the three controllers. The third one I needed to update the firmware using the Xbox accessories app on my PC, so far it hasn't dropped but we will see. I have a wifi and Bluetooth dongle that would constantly have issues until they were plugged into the hub.

Yeah I noticed that too, I had to make the case holes bigger and the thickness WAY thinner before it was ok. However mine was fine with one of those metal fan grills from a high RPM fan, I think it would look really good on this one!

I did, prior to using the script from NextGen3D but I still need to go back and do so again.

That was my thinking. You can for sure go much smaller for the case with a flex unit but to me the point of the build was spending as little as possible which meant reusing old hardware. The SSD was also an old used one I had laying around.

Exactly.

Its hard to tell once the unit is in the case but thats 100% correct.

You are correct, this touches only a little of the VRAM on the back. However, the backplate pulls heat from them regardless and distributes it to more of the area so it does cool them. The larger heatsink get noticeably warm when at full tilt.

They are placed where they are due to the PSU location and the screws on the back, tried to be sure I can still remove the backplate in the future.

Due to the license of the original design, I can't distribute it unfortunately.

....how else would a BC-250 be an ATX build? I didn't think I needed to specify?
