The rebuild, the plan
Learning to 3D model, pre-made STLs do not work
First print
First test after delid
Spraying out
After paint
After delid
First liquid metal attempt

Ugh
The original build two years ago
First power on
Testing for leaks
More clearancing work needed
Testing spread pattern with normal thermal paste before liquid metal
Checking thermals
Second round of polishing
Third attempt at liquid metal
Bleeding air
Fully powered on
Back on the wall
Up and running
After tuning. Dead silent, 15% fan speed and 5.6 GHz all core. 32C coolant temp

idk how much it matters. i know mounting was a pita. 20% pump speed, 5% fan speed, full load on GPU/CPU i sit at 48C GPU and 89C CPU at 5.65Ghz all core. ram cooling is maybe an issue - 28-36-36-42 6200Mhz at 1.39V but some stability issues as temps climb. about 6 hours into y crunch. still have tuning to do. also considering NVME gen5

That's a lot of time and effort. Nicely done.

It took me a little over a week. Thanks
