It looks like Ubuntu is the one I like to use, but I still keep Linux Mate on another SSD if I decide to alternate for testing purposes. Ubuntu seems to work well when I connect another monitor, but some of the distros didn't work that way when I was trying something. I'm sure but it could have also been the cable adapter I was using for the Surface Pro.

Do you have any screen shots of thermals or a log from HWInfo? I'm guessing it could be poor contact somewhere, but no clue if it's the memory, GPU or something else.

I personally think thinner rad with higher fin density is better than a thicker rad with fewer fin density for cooling performance, but could be noisy. Maybe its the other around for something more quiet, but would require more radiators if you were trying for something more towards silence.

The holes would make it easier to secure heatsinks if you put something on the VRM.

I don't see any see mounting holes around VRM.

It looks good. Are you still planning to use the 5800X3D for that motherboard? Did you check if the motherboard already had holes near around VRM. I have spotted some low end motherboards already having holes for push pin mounting, but no heat sink.

This will be interesting to see what is consider a video game. AliExpress has something for logging on everyday and also another part that is for playing certain games everyday for extra coin rewards.

The front fans make the RGB look better, but the fans are nothing nearly nothing. It looks like you can mount the front fans so its behind the mounting bracket. This may allow some space between the front glass and front side intake so the fanst can actually pull some air from the sides.

After looking at a MS Industrial Iron videro, it looks like the top of the case could be really tight for Arctic Liquid Freezer II with the radiator being so thick. Hard to tell from pictures, but it may not even fit 25mm rad with 25mm fans. There seems to be different version of the Industrial. You really could just do what mariushm suggested with the VRM heat sinks. I would just use something like a TR Phantom Spirit dual tower cooler and use a round 140mm fan that uses 120mm fan spacing holes for the center fan so it blows underneather the heat sink to reach the fins of the added heat sinks over the VRM. This is what I did for a system, but the VRM alread had stock heat sinks. I am using a Scythe 140mm fan I bought over 12 years ago. I don't know where to look for one other than Amazon, but they seem to cost so much.

Is that suposed to be the graphics card with the blank spots? The only thing I see wrong is the excessive amount of paste used. It looks like some spots are not covered, but that is likely just stuck on the heat sink or got pulled to another area when you removed the heat sink. You could always just try another thermal paste. I'm not sure what that paste is like, but I usually prefer one thats easier to spread. Not the kind that sticks to itself like gum, and stretchs and springs back making it difficult to spread evenly.

Here's the solution: https://youtu.be/5ubjlBDmhTI?si=6o8tjdO3-8lkN-Om Someone posted it on Reddit.

You can leave the components connected, but just be careful driving. There's always that possibility someone could rear end you or get into some accident. I keep thinking about that guy that tried to save on gas by transporting a load of refillable gas containers only end up being rear ended and died from the fire/explosion.

I only have a Deep Cool Castle AIO, but never thought the pump was completly silent. I would say it's fairly quiet and I probably have sensitive ears. I went straight to custom cooling a year later, but I don't think that is truly silent when trying to have all of the components within a computer case. Some people may think it is silent, but to someone else with sensitive hearing they will hear something but maybe not annoying. Sometimes the loudest sound could end up being the sound of the air being pushed out the case exhaust because the fan is up so close to the grill or the air being forceed through the radiator. As for the video, I did hear a faint sound from the videos. I'm not sure where the microphone was, but if was near the pump then it may be normal. If the mic was outside of a closed case then something could be wrong with it. The temperatures you have seem fine. Hard to compare someone elses results if they do not have the same setup, enviroment and running the fans at the same rate as you. You could try setting the pump to a speed that doesn't sound so loud as long is it keeps the loop running. There's really no need to change the pump RPM for an AIO since it won't do much unless you intened to push your radiator fans really hard to max out cooling potential. Even that may see little difference with such short run lines. I personally think there is too much hype around AIO these days and air coolers need to come up with bigger designs.

I've been holding for Baldur's Gate 3 sale and read something about it being December 21 on Steam.

Do you mean where the photo is not compressed and does not do any post processing to it to try to enhance it?
