don't overclock it much if you plan on using the stock cooler or the hyper 212, the 8 core chips put out a ton of heat.

And done, for now.

Pulled the sticker off the SS, did what I could with wiring. HDD has its cage under the shroud in the back.

When I do AM4 Im gonna do a bit flashier ram/gpu and atleast a white LED strip if not an RGB one.
