The rest of this worklog will be primarily dedicated to the TJ07 build. I hope you like what you see. Feel free to offer suggestions and ask questions, I'm always open for feedback.

Today I removed the stock heatpipe assembly on my Maximus II Formula. I changed the thermal paste to Arctic Ceramic. I also changed the Republic of Gamers logo around since this will be an inverted ATX oriented motherboard. The Maximus II Formula logo was also able to be switched around, but I may just remove that all together, we'll see.

Original northbridge cooler removed. Pretty poor thermal paste contact.


Heatpipe Assembly removed.

I also removed the red fancy shields that were covering part of the mosfet heatsinks. Looks clean.
