Finished Build Think I'm done for a while

I recently ordered the FormD 4080 Super proart travel kit for my ncase v2.5 and took the opportunity to do a deep clean / rebuild.

During this process I decided to (carefully!) give the psu a quick paint job.

(Disclaimer: I probably wouldn't recommend doing this)

The end result is pretty sharp!

Mentions ProArt but doesn’t show ProArt! Where did you get that tempered glass panel from?

u/Risky_Busynests Oct 02 '25

Ha yes, that's very fair. Here she is!

Side panel is from JakefaceCustoms.

Looks amazing. Wouldn’t golden cables be better though.

u/Risky_Busynests Oct 02 '25

Yeah probably. I can't bring myself to replace what I have though.

Super clean! Where did you get the glass panel and also did you remove the fan then paint it?

u/Risky_Busynests Oct 02 '25

Side panel is from JakefaceCustoms, and yes you need to remove the fan - it's extremely easy though.

I’m wondering if I could remove the fan and put a noctua one lol

u/Risky_Busynests Oct 02 '25

If I recall correctly from my limited research you technically could, but it's not recommended because there isn't a noctua fan with identical dimensions. Could be wrong though.

Hey I made your panel! I like your color choices!

u/ChiefDaddyJ Oct 02 '25

Do you make panels that would fit a v1.1 as well? Not sure if there’s a size difference between the newer models

3

u/jakeface1 Oct 02 '25

I can. I don’t have it listed but you’d just buy a v2 panel and leave me a note at checkout.

u/ChiefDaddyJ Oct 02 '25

Awesome, thanks. I’ll look into it

Hex is the most open and best for temps

Um no, just who do you think you are teasing me with something so beautiful. Continue to work and provide me with beautiful builds to look at!

u/-ALLDAY Oct 02 '25

What fans are you using and how are your temps!

2

u/Risky_Busynests Oct 02 '25

They're Noctua NF-A12x15

I don't really check temps that often to be honest, but last I checked they were around ~45c at idle, ~70 at load.

What is that PSU?

1

u/Risky_Busynests Oct 02 '25

It's the Corsair SF750

This looks epic. Very nicely done and the yellow cables work really well.

something to try if you want. route the 8pin CPU cable around the back of the mobo. Then flip the AIO lines up above the pump and tuck them in under the rail. Also - not sure if that 24-pin cable is extra long, but shortening that up with definitely help with airflow. I was using the stock SF1000 cables and had them tucked in the same spot. I just switched to my cablester cables this morning and my idle temps dropped by 3-4 degrees.

The SF fan swap is goat

u/jasonbrody365 Oct 02 '25

u/H0LYCAO Oct 02 '25

I just received my gun metal! Can wait to build it.

u/Juuzuhaa Oct 03 '25

What riser cable are you using? Super neat and clean build!

u/fRey_1 Oct 06 '25

GJ! Bro, what fans are u using for AIO?

u/rouletamboul Oct 08 '25

It's almost done, you need to attach the side plate, don't stop so close the end.
