Nice Job!

What donor case did you use for the tray and back?

 

[willi4mbe]

Thank you
I used an old tower for the back panel and motherboard support.
For the front fans, I used a brushed aluminum panel.

Very clean build!
Killing it on Geekbench!
I can't get 18,3 to stick on mine? It always reverts back to 14,2 at next start up???

Thank you!
I spent a lot of hours at work there.
Are you sure you modified the right efi partition?

Uhm, yep. That's my problem
Works now. Thanks. Cured a couple other problems I thought I had sorted out.

What temps do you see under full CPU load w/ the H75? Thinking of getting one b/c my Noctua Low Profile isn't enough under full load.

I just did a stress test under windows, the cpu does not reach 75 C°.
This cooling works really well.
