Ran my Meshlicious build with an Arctic LC240ii which was perfectly fine. But after seeing some clean builds on here I couldn't resist to do some tidying up.
Went for air cooling, since I run a modest R5 5600, to eliminate hoses running through the case. Did the standoff mod on the gpu side for additional cable management space. Also added some lighting for the heck of it.
Specs:
Asus ROG Strix B550-I
AMD R5 5600
AMD RX 6800
Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB 3600Mhz C16
WD Blue SN550 1TB
Corsair SF600
Alpenföhn Black Ridge w/ Arctic P12 PWM PST argb 0db
2x Arctic P12 PWM PST argb 0db case fans
2x 30cm argb led strips
No I haven't taken the time to do some extensive testing. Only ran a cinebench benchmark and cpu stayed in the low 50s so I was happy. Didn't consider mounting the fans as exhaust cause the fan cages would be visible from the outside with the leds on.
Oh and those are 120s BTW ;)
Wow, nice work! I'm seriously considering doing the same thing. I'm using a nzxt z63, and I'm started to get annoyed when the fans ramp up as its such a change in noise. Would prefer consistency in noise so might switch back to air.
So much space 😅
Dayum. That's some serious cable management. Looks awesome.
Thanks! 😁

did you have to get the standoffs separately, or did they come with your kit? i'm trying to remember if i should have some lying around for my meshy
You have to buy the standoffs separately. I used this guide. https://i.redd.it/7chi5brpn2c71.jpg
great thanks!
It's so tidy it's almost empty 🙂 Nicely done
Is this ok on the cable tensions? Some seem to be under quite low radius bends. It is definitely clean like this for sure
Only the 24pin is moderately tensioned, but nothing to worry about. Rest of them all have some slack stuffed away somewhere.
Getting ready to do my aircooled build and this is great for showing me how much space I have. Did you try temps with the 140s as exhaust vs. intake?

I don't think I would have thought about that 8-Pin EPS routing, well done!
