Hp system with upgrades. 14x11x7 inches so it doesn't take up a lot of space.

Main changes are :

1. Upgraded CPU cooler to a new ~$20 thermalright low profile. Stock one wasn't even covering the entire cpu.
2. CPU thermal paste replaced with Honeywell PTM 7950. This lasts much longer and performs better than traditional thermal paste.
3. Pulled the RX 580 4GB out and put in a GTX 1060 6G since the former was getting a little hot even after replacing the thermal paste.

Notes

• While taking off the backplate to the stock cpu cooler some of the green motherboard material got ripped off with the adhesive thereby exposing a handful of traces in a small area. I placed some kapton tape over the traces and after extensive testing determined the damage to be purely cosmetic.
• You will get a CMOS message upon first boot and the system will restart. This will only happen on the first boot or if you unplug from the wall and plug it back in.
• I tried upgrading the ram to 3200mhz but ran it a lower speed (no xmp config in bios) so I left the stock ram in.
