Cut it in a nice shape, drilled the holes.

Painted the whole thing, including some foam I cut up for a better seal.
(Ignore the giant mess lol…my family neglected this garage)

I think it turned out nice. Should prevent some spill damage doo.


Temps before and after in the same exact test conditions (same tune, benchmark, no background apps etc). I used Furmark and Cinebench 2024)
GPU before: 62 GPU, 85 Hot, 76 Mem
GPU after: 55 GPU, 78 Hot, 66 Mem (adjusted for +3C ambient)
CPU before: 62C
CPU after: 63C (66C recorded, but ambient was +3C)
No benchmark score improvements but the GPU temp dropped a lot.



Damn yea, nothing like that here lol. You guys have it real nice in your countries in this sense of product availability.
Though we do have all types of tape: electrical, masking tape, that strong gray stuff, transparent scotch tape. But I’ve never seen things like color variants.
