Performed Mods:
Noctua NF-A4x10 installed for Asus Armor - exhausting out the top instead of there stupid "intake" recommendation noisy POS - new fan runs at full power and can't be heard. Deleted central assist fan. Full Software controlled fan speed for 7x fans (6 channels) via SpeedFan.exe - GPU, CPU and SSD all control and maintain fan speed - completely automated like a HP server cooling system or such. CPU cooler chosen for constant physical characteristic that all the heat-pipes go horizontal or up - nothing against physics, the cooler is set back design that was a clear winner. Case also chosen to aid in HD5850 cooling, by just rotating them so they hang has dropped temps by 10°C as the heat-pipe now "rises" from source to heat-sink at the top, gaming at 30% fan speed with crossfire with 60°C no matter what (30°C ambient temps) Sleeving of most cables where possible to hide stock colored fan wiring. All Cables hidden as much as possible
