I failed to do any pre-installation testing, but I know my CPU under load would get over 90 degrees Celsius…. I still need to do full on post-installation testing. Still a fun project. My CPU and the stock contact frame. Fun little project. I enjoyed it. Took less than 30 minutes to do. It should…

My Brief Home/Work Setup
What I use: This integrates well into my office setup at home. I put the keyboard and I can keep the MacBook in the stand or leave it. Looks good and functional.

A Short Story About My New Build…
After getting my new GPU, I was playing a few games and noticed that the GPU temps were over 80 degrees Celsius… very bad. I thought that I just didn’t have a case that had really good airflow… so, a new case I needed and that’s all I was going to get (forshadowing: it wasn’t)….
