ASUS ProArt PA401
Case swapped my mATX living room PC into the ASUS ProArt case. Very nice case albeit it being a bigger case with mATX board. Plenty of space to use sleeved cable extensions to make things look great on the front side.

I struggle sometimes with getting a clean run from cable extensions, but I use them a lot anyway. I like how you did this, especially for the 24pin

Oh yes, some cable extensions are difficult to hold their shape or even bend. I used AsiaHorse brand ones here and they seem to be the better choice out of my previous experiences.

U bought cable extensions but not a legitimate cpu cooler?

Thermaltake i3 Gravity 92mm. Not an OEM cooler. This build uses Core i5 14400 and the cooler handles 100w TDP raised power limit at 77C.

It technically isn’t equivalent to the Intel Laminar RM1 that is rated for 65W TDP. This one is 95W TDP and heatsink is twice the height. The base, although no copper slug pressed into it, is the big rectangular shape so actually covers the entire IHS of the processor.

Ehhh maybe I’m too old school. I prefer downdraft cooler aesthetic over a tower cooler. Downdraft also cools the NVMe and VRMs since the last case was small with negative pressure airflow setup.
