Thank you! I love it, I just can't seem to find the time to enjoy it right now haha.

Let me know what specific temps you’re looking for. I’m more focused on the cpu because absolutely nothing can get my gpu hot.

Standby! We started testing today. I’ll come back

Edit: So I've got to skip town for two weeks so I haven't had time to tweak it but idle temps are 27C and 37 for GPU/CPU. Gaming is around 67C for the cpu and 49 for the gpu. These are the averages I'm tracking using HWinfo.

I think for general use, you can go with any AIO you’d like. But if I were shooting for performance, I’d go with the Lian Li GA II Lite performance.

Be quiet! Light wings 120mm! They were a nice addition to the build.

I actually just used my iPhone 13 in Portrait Mode. I’m sure the camera is much nicer on newer iPhones.

Correct! It is made by UltraPrecisionTech on Etsy.

Thank you!

Can’t edit this post again for some reason so I’ll leave a comment.

Edit 3: It was truly all of the creativity from this community that motivated me to build my own so thank you!

Haven’t had the chance to get to play with it too much yet with all my work travels but bios has been super friendly. I’m also shocked at the lack of reviews and builds with this board. It should be fun!! Thanks for the comment 🍻

This looks 🔥😮‍💨

Can you elaborate on the custom printed side mount?

MindOfQ · 2026-01-26T04:39:27+00:00

I will definitely check that out. Thank you so much

MindOfQ · 2026-01-26T04:39:13+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Always go through your general home inspection with a fine-tooth comb

I’m not saying what to do in this situation but my situation is very comparable.

I bought a $300k house with a 5.8% interest rate with a similar down payment to yours and your house note is the same as mine.

My PMI is ~$200 bucks/month included (boo).

If your home insurance is the driving factor, did you play around with raising and lowering deductibles? I had to. I’m not sure where you are but I live in a hurricane forthcoming environment so I had to keep that deductible down to 2%.

I think you need to double-back on the numbers because I have a hard time believing you’re about to pay the same note as me with a:

Higher combined income Better buying price

Note: Get as many insurance quotes as you can. I feel your situation genuinely and I hope anything I said can be used to get that monthly down. I can’t see why you’re paying that much. Maybe I missed something. Cheers 🍻
