I would still put a replacement heat sink on but a smaller passive one.

Yeah I didn't quite keep up with the thread for some time. Thanks. Just ordered a third A9x14 PWM (one for the PSU, one under the PSU and one under the Mobo)

I was thinking about modifying my V2 to accommodate a 92 mm fan below the mainboard. With the older style flex riser that isn't possible probably because the cable goes downwards from the PCI-E slot on the GPU side and because of the bending radius would interfere with the fan. Does anybody...

Well the 1800X technically has the same TDP (I know it's only comparable at base clock) and there are users like PantherB above who seem to easily make it work for the 1800X. I am hoping that going direct die + thermal grizzly + 120 mm + a little UV will keep it in the high 80s at max. I also...

Spoiler: I will try to do a build using a 9900k with direct die cooling on an Asus Z390 Strix-I using the Black Ridge with a Noctua A12x15 PWM and VLP Ram. Pretty much everything will need to be modified for this. The mounting brackets because of the reduced CPU height, the fan frame will need...

It is still black coated but it's more of a shiny metalized coating than a mate black paint now. Yours definitely doesn't look like mine.

Any idea about the ASUS ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming

That's pretty impressive

hmm I'll have to modify it then to go direct DIE

XMP? It will increase case temperatures slightly I guess but shouldn't influence the CPU much.

Fuck. Could you document your mods please?

Fuckin finally I need to get my 9900K / 2080ti build started

Looks interesting but 92mm is a bit small
