Hi all,
Upgraded my rig, desk & case etc & thought I'd share some photo's.
I didn't intend on upgrading the mobo & CPU at first, but I damaged some pins on the old one when I dropped a micro fibre cloth on it (n00b move, I know).
so now the specs are (if anyone cares)

Temps seem pretty decent so far - CPU around 29-31c idle & 50-55c full load, GFX is around 38c idle & 60-65 full load. However, one thing that I wanted & have achieved with this setup, is none of the fans speed up when on load, so the system doesn't sound like a hoover when I'm gaming etc. But.... why did AMD make the X570 actively cooled
it's the loudest part of my system lol.
However, the heatsinks that are applied to the M2 sticks are awesome, they've gone from up to 70c when on load, to a constant 40-45c.
