This is the huge cut into the cooler housing I had to do, under the GPU there was one of the points where the cooler housing was mounted on the mobo. There was literally no way of doing it otherwise. I put some Arctic Silver on the CPU and re-seated it, and have been closely monitoring the temps with coretemp since. It was getting to 60 under heavy load, but has been a lot better today and hasn't topped 55...

Any tips on cable management would be appreciated, but there wasn't anywhere for these to go, so until I get a better case, they'll stay there

Thanks, I appreciate that. I would never ever buy a Dell desktop again, or ever let anyone I knew buy on without pleading with them not to. It's only suffered a failed hdd in the past to be fair, but since getting down and dirty with it I've grown to hate how Dell intentionally engineer upgrade hurdles.

I'm afraid you're kinda screwed for cable management with that case. I suppose you could tie up the unused cables together into bundles, and tie the bundles to the frame of the case., or shove them into unused 5.25'' bays

Looks proper ghetto though.
