Hi, I just recently joined and I am excited to be apart of a Canadian born modding forum.
What I have here is a long over due project. This is my first build in 10 years and I have been sitting with this Mobo packed away for a few years now, as per current events, it has motivated me to get back into my passion with PC's and PC Gaming, as well as modding things. I haven't done too much, but that is what I was going for. I wanted a simple and clean look, which was set around the colour scheme of the Mobo. I've also been wanting to get into custom parts, so with this build, I started with extension cables, which I say turned out very well. The one thing I wasn't happy with at the end, was the stupid little white sticker on the M.2. So i took matters into my own hands, cuz nobody has anything on the market for the 2242's, I took an old heatsink and chopped it up to sizes that would fit the VRam and Controller, using thermal tape to fasten them. Then I decided to go with an onboard live feed of temperature stats and FPS, just for the fun of it. I haven't named her yet, but it'll come to me.
Thank you........
P.s. I think I need to work on my photography skills, please excuse the mess of it.......................................plus I has a hell of a time uploading the pics.......GEEEEEESH
