Motherboard cooling mod:
The mod consists in replacing the factory thermalpad and thermal compound. For this I used Tuniq TX2 and a 0.75mm copper sheet.

Here you can see how the factory compounds look like:

After cleaning the factory stuff we proceed to replace both compounds.
Tuniq TX2 and copper sheet in place:
Now the temps (It's really hot in this room couse it's summer, 35°c)

Here's a short Ioncito v1 introduction video I just made:
Here you can see the result of hours and hours of sanding and fixing scratchs and holes... smooth and rounded bezels/edges.
I just love the effect of Enermax Cluster's white light on the hardware.

Needs fileing and sanding.
Oh eh, I really like what you done with the angle bar, never thought of working an angle bar like that before, impressive :).
And never thought of smoothing out a rough panel like your did neither, your a very resourceful modder.
Hell yes I'm impressed with this work :) awesome scratch build elgafas, and good to see a bit of tag team between you and Loki :D:up:.
Looking awesome +rep :).
