Parts arriving:





At this point I am just missing the AM5 adapter for the AIO, but have ordered from 2 locations to try and get (vendor and eBay.) Also the fans I ordered won't arrive until next week. These two components missing have put the build at a stand still.

I removed the stock bottom case fan and installed a Noctua NF-A14 PWM.



I have temporary removed the riser card to allow installation of the motherboard.



I have removed the built in motherboard heat sink for the top most m2 slot to install the gen 5 ssd.



Heat sink replaced.



Cpu installation.



Motherboard installed into case.



Starting to route power.

Time for an upgrade!

Oh no. It's the Gigabyte card with the leaking thermal gel.

Gigabyte addresses RTX 50-series thermal gel leak, blames over-application in early production units

The leaked thermal gel should not affect the overall performance

Ya I literally ordered the card right before I went to bed and that story dropped the next morning when I woke up. They say its just early batches so fingers crossed. At least no ROPs are missing.
