What's with the cardboard? Noise prevention (lol nice name you've got there..)
Also, you can replace the thermal paste to help w/ temps.

the reference card's fan is either too loud at uber mode or throttles at silent mode.. so i kept it on silent and put a corsair SP120 high static pressure fan to throw air in.. keeps it quiet when gaming and doesn't throttle much.. cardboard prevents airleaks and air only passes through the card..
and i already replaced the term. paste..

Can't believe I never came across, or thought to look, for this thread before, so I thought I'd post a link to the modification thread for the Storm Enforcer case I did, in case somebody might find it useful, and too show off my exceptional modification skills. Ok, that last part is a pretty blatant lie, but was necessary anyhow. Heh.

If I had realized this thread existed I would have posted the build here in the first place.

Time for an update! I posted the pics before, but these are some new ones, with an ssd, case, and some other little things. Found the mobo on clist with the cpu for free, and just discovered it had an embedded bios windows 8 key on it, so it looks like I will be with it for a while. I may get a gtx 980 or 970 soon.
