Orange Sharpie (LTT-themed build)

[WoodenMarker]

The stickers finally came in for the psu so it was finally time to takes photos.

It turned out the ram wasn't nearly as saturated as the orange in the rest of the system:

Spoiler

so I remedied it with some orange Sharpie. It turned out a lot better than expected and matches perfectly.

Some black paper was taped at the top to prevent heat from reentering the system and that lowered temps by a few degrees. The system is pretty quiet during idle when using SIV but the graphics card gets noisy during load due to the lack of case airflow.

Going with NF-A14's would've been better but the owner of the system was pretty adamant about going with 120mm's to be safe at the time.

I might get around to using the fix that Jayztwocents did here: 

It worked pretty well in this system:

May or may not be too lazy to take photos any time soon.

Looks great and the color scheme is amazingly implemented!

 

My only question is; how could there not be enough airflow through that case you have 5 fans...?

The Evolv ATX is extremely restrictive and possibly has the worst case airflow I've seen asides from mostly sealed cases for HTPC's. 

There are few thin gaps at the top and front for airflow.

Ahh, that would make sense then.  Number of fans doesn't matter in that scenario.

If you plan on keeping the case for awhile, it might be worthwhile investing in something like this: https://modmymods.com/custom-services/phanteks-case-mods.html

There's a considerable gap below the front panel for airflow on the Enso. This is usually how it's done for cases with a solid front panel. For some reason (I'm assuming aesthetics), the only gaps at the front for the Evolv ATX is the thin outline around the recessed panel.

According to an article by Gamers Nexus ( https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3123-bitfenix-enso-case-review ) they got these results:

The Evolv ATX isn't in that roundup, but it gives you some perspective on were the case sits in terms of thermals compared to some other popular cases.
