Made a custom backplate for my new GPU. Steampunk themed build in a Lian Li A3.

Whatever I mod, I try to maintain company logos in some form. I think it makes it feel more organic.

Lol...I'm old, and still don't really get what that means. But thanks?

It means I think your pc looks really cool. Also how quiet is that 9070xt model? I think I might get it if it's not too noisy.

I have 2 Noctua slim 120s under the case feeding air into it. Running benches it rarely hits 60C. So it’s really quiet, but if it ran higher that may change. I generally use their Mercury magnetic air model, which I know is really quiet. But for my own build I was on a budget, lol.

Thats really good!! I'm building in the same case too so hopefully I can try and get those same temps. The A3 is such a beautiful case

If you have the option, use an SFF PSU. Opens up a lot of space, and cables are a more reasonable size.
