Installed all fans, connected all the front panel BS, plugged in the GPU (first time FE here, they are fucking beautiful)
Goals: Reroute GPU power cables for better aesthetics. Install OS. Benchmark system. Play a game.

The fan arrived but I was exhausted and fell sleep with all the lights on.

Returned the NH-D15S (bought it in case that my NH-D15 didn't fit). Kudos to Noctua for including brackets for different platforms.
Tried to purchase a NF-A14 fan at Micro Center but they don't carry them. Ordered it from Amazon and should arrive today.
Goals: Finish case and install OS.

Applied thermal paste to the CPU and installed the cooler. I had already installed the case fans, so I had to remove them to be able to install the mobo to the case.
Realized that A) the case fans are 3 pin and the mobo has 4 pin headers and B) the 120 CM fan that I planned to use sucks.

Transferred the stuff to the old case. Cleaned my current case (CM H500). Started setup of new build (grabbed the 7800X3D bundle from Micro Center and got a 4080 Super FE directly from Nvidia).
