My PC for 2024 has reached its final form. I went with an overall white/silver aesthetic where possible.
It's a super snug fit getting the M.2 cooler in place. I ran it with just the mobo's courtesy sliver of aluminium,
which was getting too hot to touch. I switched to something beefier following a BSOD, after which the BIOS
wouldn't even find the boot drive until I let it cool down for 15 minutes.

Sounds like a cool setup! It's great that you managed to solve the overheating issue with a beefier M.2 cooler. Do share some photos if possible, would love to see your white/silver aesthetic.
