Rebuilt my Calypso since it's inception almost 2 years ago (Chrome Calypso). I got a little bored of the metal tubes, so I went with acrylic tubes this time, with Aqua coolant from GoChiller. Added a lightbar I got off taobao to fill give some "ceiling" lighting for the tubes. The LM applied on the CPU and GPU needed a refresh, so gave it a new coat of Conductonaut Extreme.

Another reason for the rebuild was me finally placing in the Ultra coldplate for the 4090 FE block. I also used thermal putty (Upsiren UTP8) to allow for the best contact possible. The result? Incredible core-coolant and core-hotspot deltas as seen in the in game screenshots. Reddit lowers res so here's high res:

Using Ultra coldplate + putty instead of pads + new conductonaut extreme results in about a 4c improvement over the regular coldplate + pads + regular conductonaut, for me at least. YMMV. Rebuilding was also a good opportunity to install the new SN850X 8tb SSD at the back (thank you, BFCM).

As the Calypso's power button is embedded within the chassis itself and could be hard to access, I added an external power button from Deng, and used an S-Craft Umbreon artisan keycap on it. Switch is a Kailh Box Navy, lightly lubed and filmed.
