Tools
I use the Xiaomi Electric Precision Screwdriver - Amazon (affiliate)
This build only uses standard Philips screws, but the bits included with this screwdriver are great to have around for future builds and tinkering.
Thermal Paste
My go to thermal paste is Thermal Grizzly’s Duronaut - Amazon (affiliate)
It has excellent performance and it’s easy to apply and clean.
GPU Shroud
This build involves de-shrouding the msi RTX 5070 Shadow 2X, replacing it with a 3D printed custom shroud and Noctua 92mm fans.
For two slot cards that work out of the box with no need for a de-shroud, check out the alternate parts lists.
