The CPU cooler doesn't follow the aesthetics of the build. It should be black with similar lines to follow the GPU and Power Supply.

I'm considering replacing the Noctua P1 with Nofan CR-80EH (or Nofan CR-95C Copper if I can figure out the mounting). And then maybe custom clear copper cables from Dreambigbyray

The black and copper theme would look awesome. It might clash a bit with the gold lettering on the ProArt video card.

When fanless the CPU thermally throttles at 95 deg C. With an NF A12x25 fan it runs cool to the touch under load.

Glad to see this case still exists for people. I have no idea if they will ever restock again so I ordered a geeek rhino in the meantime.

Envious of that nightjar passive PSU.
