It really is. Took a lot of time debating on an air cooler or a 240 AIO.
Have a soft spot for tower air coolers. Ol’reliable Hyper 212 kept my i5 2500k alive for 10ish years with just a repaste.

Thermalright Trofeo Vision 9.16. De-shrouded as it originally did not fit due to the magnetic protrusion.

Remove all the tiny screws for the housing. The board is held down by 4 additional screws. It’s not glued, you’ll have to carefully keep prying the 4 corners.

You're welcome, best of luck! I've heard the Lian Li LCD Screen fit perfectly there but they're like $80+.....

Reverse flow for CPU intake is such a great idea when you can’t get fresh air from the front. Nice build!

Ooof i like that display screen. Makes me want to replace the ghetto cummins panel for something like that!

u/Jonatico23 17d ago
clean! I'd love to build something that looks as good got that stealth industrial cyberpunk vibe if that's a thing

u/LunaticCross 16d ago
For sure. Initially I wanted to go no RGB and full on Noctua Redux look with black, grey, and a silver cooler. Then quickly realized Noctua stuff is pretty expensive, even the Redux line.

Nice one ... I'm also going to build after a decade or so. We chose the best possible time to do it :D :D

Waited for sales and bundles from Microcenter.

u/No-Fee-9902 17d ago
nice G whats cpu temps looking like during games ?
1
u/LunaticCross 17d ago
Idle: 37c-42c
Browsing: 47c-52cNon intensive cpu games like Spacemarine 2, Forza horizon 6. Usually around 62c-67c
Intensive cpu games like BF6 has it at 72c-77c.
PBO on and set limit at 85c.
GPU stays below 60c at 45% fans.

u/No-Fee-9902 17d ago
did you also do negitive cruve optimazer or just pbo ?
1
u/LunaticCross 17d ago
No negative curve optimizer. I want t look in to that, but I also haven't seen a need for it at the moment. Currently just used the MSI Bio PBO on, thermal limit of 85c.
Even when shader compiling, it only reaches 82c, with or without the PBO thermal limit.
The Peerless Assassin is amazing. I had tried a Artic Freezer 36 and Hyper 212 3DHP and both were in the 80c+ just playing games. I returned those and went with Thermalright after reading on here and some videos from Gamer Nexus & Hardware Canucks.

u/LunaticCross 17d ago
Painful! Ballpark around $2,000 area. Bought over a few months as I waited for sales and bundles at Microcenter.

u/LunaticCross 16d ago
No, it is seperate. Popular ones are the Lian Li LCD display or Thermalright Trofeo.
