Tools
I use the Xiaomi Electric Precision Screwdriver as my go to for all my builds - Amazon (affiliate)
I also recommend the iFixit Mako set - Amazon (affiliate)
Thermal Paste
I recommend Thermal Grizzly’s Duronaut thermal paste - Amazon (affiliate)
It has excellent performance and it’s easy to apply and clean.
Custom PSU Cables
I use custom cables from Cablester, which feature per-wire lengths for perfectly sized cable runs.
I recommend going for either “Teflon” or “Debossed” cables in a color of your choice.
The set pictured in this guide is the copper teflon variant and was provided by Cablester for this build.
