Your probably on to something rather than a Dremel you could use a slitting saw or a jewelers saw to do basically the same thing but a bit faster. You might have to get creative with the fixture but I see no reason it wouldn't work. Actually if you look closely at the EK supremacy fins that may actually be their method of manufacture.
 
Edit: I just looked up slitting saws on MMC and they have them in widths down to 0.006 cost is under 30.
 
.... I might just have a new project in the works.

So I have been looking at my build and I noticed that my GPU did not look right. Like it was sagging sooo I figured I would get some measurements and make something to fix it. 

Measuring the droop from the mounted end to the sagging side. It was drooping 0.164 in (4.16mm)

Next I needed to get a round about measurement from the psu shroud to the GPU

A quick fusion 360 design to double check some numbers and its off to the lathe.

I was going to make it out of aluminum but since I found that I had some white delrin the right size I figured that would work perfect.

Turning the Base of the column

Turning the top of the column with the adjustment thread.

after installing and adjusting I got the droop to 0.000in Also tested to make sure that there is no fan interference.

Glad I found the the delrin since it blends pretty well with the rest of the black and white ascetic. Well now I think its done ... for today.

Much better solution if you don't have the tools but since I have the tools I might as well use them. This also cost about $1.00 in material and it took longer to put together the post than to actually make the parts.

Much better. A little solder and double checking diagrams later. The vga wires are as they should be and it feels better now lol.

Ouch I think if I had to do a 24 pin I might just spluge and go to digikey pick up a new connector body. cut the wires crimp on new ends and then replace the body.
 
Alas no. I was hoping to put the fans for the AIO on the inside of the case to make sure they had enough breathing room. The front pannel is pretty close to the fan mount and I don't want to starve them. But with the gpu being the size it is  it just would not fit.
 
Maybe with thinner fans but not the ones I have right now.

Hey everyone first time poster. Just finished my first high-ish end PC build and I thought I would show off to a community that would appreciate it. 
 
At first this whole thing started out as I was just going to upgrade my existing rig. I was going to upgrade the boot drive to an m.2 put in a new cpu and go for a gtx 1080(ti maybe). Well one thing led to another and I decided what the heck just go for it. So I ended up with this spec sheet.
 
CPU - Intel i7 8700k
Mobo - Asus Z370-A Prime
Graphics - MSI RTX 2080 gaming trio 8gb
Ram - Corsair Vengeance LPX 32gb
CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i V2
Boot Drive - Samsung 970 EVO Nvme M.2
Steam Drive - Crucial MX500 1Tb
Bulk Storage - 2x 2Tb 7200 rpm drives (I think one is a WD Blue and the other is a Seagate)
Power Supply - EVGA 650 G3
Cable mod Cables 
NZXT H500i (because why not rgb)
 
Here are the bits in boxes
 

 
Just about ready to work on the build.

 
Thinking cable management
 

 
Cable management complete! Looking pretty good so far.
 

 
Now here is where I ended up screwing up.Notice on the rtx2080 its using 2 8 pin vga cables. Well I didn't know it at the time but you can't just use both vga outputs on the power supply. I'm still not sure why but when using one cable from each output when you go to turn the system on it will not turn on. I mean no post no fan spin no nothing. So I had to ditch my pretty white cables for one of the stock cables that comes with the power supply. It has 2 8 pin vga plugs in a y configuration. Switching to that solved the problem and it booted fine. A quick default settings overclock in the asus bios and were off to the races.
 

 
So I installed some standard programs and also Steam and Fusion 360 then it was benchmark time. Ya I could probably eek out a bit better if I had a 100% fresh system but I wanted a more natural background load going to better simulate the performance I think I'll be getting on a daily basis.
 
Time spy

 

 
I don't know if anyone else still uses this but I like to use passmark as well.
 

 
So is there anything else I should be trying for bench marking?
