ASrock X570 Taichi - Motherboard Modification
I have done some mods on my ASrock X570 Taichi as I was using it for the past 5 months and am agitated by the heat as I am sitting just beside my case.
I did some research and found out that someone did this modification on his board. https://imgur.com/gallery/KiBcQLI
I have tested his method but did some alteration. Besides modding the x570 heatsink, this got me thinking further. I notice the motherboard backplate of this board only serve the purpose to strengthen the board structure. It will be good if I can make use of it as a heatsink. Therefore, I applied the same method as the X570 heatsink mod on the backplate.
