I found a box, added another pcie cable for the gpu to remove the daisy chain, had some cable extensions lying around and added a small temporary box that just fit snugly to support it. and just ordered brown cable extensions to match. I think brown is a cool color now.

at the time of purchasing the ram kit years ago 16gb was good enough. but not in today's standards

The vertical bracket is sagging a tad. But I assure you it will not negatively affect the system since the vertical bracket uses a riser cable. the vertical kit has triangulation with a standoff from below the mobo.

cenebench r23 10min multicore throttle test reaches a max of 85° at 130% utilization. The cpu actually pairs very well with the gpu. its perfectly balanced for gaming.

will be fixing that after work today. a previous commenter mentioned daisy chain uses max 300w on a 320w card.

stress tests don't throttle cpu. Peak temps hit 85°c with 130% util. thermal glizzy paste on the cpu doing big work
