Anyone still using Hyper 212 Evo? Here is my rig setup and some cable management done with patience.

Hehe, that is the stock 140mm fan placed originally by Fractal which I never change.

Hehe, going to do a hard petg tube watercooling soon when all my parts reach.

You can do that but it won't help much. Since the PSU produces lots of heat as well due to narrow space. Itx deems to suffer lots of heat issues. Btw I have made it custom watercooled fully. No more GPU heating. But 8700k ain't delidded so it still heats up easily.

Hi, there. I think CPU load temp around 6x and 4x for GPU during some time of gaming. But nowadays, I seldom play those graphics-demanding and cpu-intensive games. The latest metro exodus, I also just play a while occasionally. That's some good graphical game. Even with such wc setup, the 8700k just can't hit 5.0GHZ due to massive heat will be released despite the vcore is not that high. So, my best stable overclock is only 4.9GHZ...I believe larger case with good air flow, and more thick radiators will help to further lower down those CPU/GPU temps at ease. Mine is more like aesthetics and self-satisfaction. For me, it's more to self-satisfaction and learning. PC assembly is too easy for me as I have experience building for several rigs already. Custom waterloop is some skill I haven't acquired. Perhaps, difficult bends is something I should learn in the future. Nonetheless, I will probably go for E-ATX full custom loop which is my wishlist. Build some beast and bulky rig. I won't go for ITX wc build anymore. Just some sharing ya.
