Board is probably one of the less "nasty" looking things there. Just slamming down a list:

  • AIO's are kind of a meme, if you have the room for a halfway decent air cooler one of those would be better. If the Dark Rock 4/Dark Rock Pro 4 can fit those would be a good blacked-out contender.
  • Obviously sleeved cables.
  • Removing the zip tie from the USB 3.0 cable.
  • Throw some RGB in if that's up your alley.
  • Tidy up the excess cabling on top of the PSU shroud.
  • And finally, if you actually want to go full send, a new motherboard.

As many have said, cooler replacement would go a long way
