Description

Delidding:

The CPU was hitting the 80's pretty often under heavy load.
That's why I've decided to delid, which reduced the temps around 20°C.
I've also noticed that they're much more stable now.
Srsly, that's no wonder, the previous TIM was badly applied.
I also overclocked the CPU to 5GHz.
There's still room to lower the vcore and probably go over 5GHz,
but I still have not fiddled around with it. (Currently 1,350v)
While gaming It barely reaches the 60's now.
I highly recommend this process for the 8700K.

Future Upgrades:

●Acer X34p (should be here within the next days)
●Keyboard/Mouse Cable Management (comming weekend)
●Wall Picture (done)
●White Headphone stand (done)

Pictures are currently outdated. Final state comming soon.
Suggestions appreciated <3

Looks great. I love your aesthetic! Also, doesn't that MoBo have great built-in audio? Why the Soundblaster?
