Lunithy

So after seeing the video I got one here are some pics getting it out of the box and whats inside.
 

I can totally take a joke, except when it's repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and and over and and over and and over and over again.

c'mon... c'mon...
load faster
what is this bullshit
why did i buy an ssd
if that bitch is running
a potatoe, wtf...

Finally I installed my “htpc” there it belongs - in the living room
temperarly borrowed keyboard and mouse from my x58 rig,
I bought a corsair lapboard for it (k63 wireless and dark core wireless  mouse are on the way somewhere between US and Russia)

Installed few games and played them
Doom is “locked” to 200 fps on vulcan with all settings on ultra. On a old pioneer plasma 50” tv, looks great


But I decided to start hardwaremonitor while gaming
surprise!!!

CPU is easily hitting 80+ c and it is doom!!! It is not very cpu intensive game!!!
So i run aida64 stresstest just too see how bad is the coolermaster cooler
95-100 degrees on all cores
It is time to get out from the toolbox a chinese delidder (cost me around $10 from aliexpress) and Thermal grizzly conductonaut

Build quality is not the best, but it gets the job done with a little help from my wife’s hairdryer

I used buildzoid’s method of applying liquid metal

and placed the IHS on top of the cpu and fixed it with the socket lid

All was assembled back and I fired up aida64 stress test
the result was great -15-20c on all cores

Next step is to put all the watercooling parts on the system and order some fittings
 
 

The cable managment is done

The worst cable is the dual usb 3 header
Also i’ve installed 2 Noctua slim 120 fans

The bolts I bought were m4 20 mm and I’ve calculated that it will be enough, but I forgot that the fans are not mounted straight to the rad, but through the panel, so I had to improvise a bit

I’ve also played around with fan settings in bios and managed to get the fans as quiet as possible at idle. Now I’m planning the loop to order some fittings. I’ll stick to barrow fittings they are cheapper than everything else and have really good quality. Also some custom sleved cables would be nice.
I’ll add some pictures of the final aircooled rig then I clean the glass, cause it is a fingerprint magnet
