(Sash is Insane) Custom "Mounting bracket" for Noctua 90mm Tower CPU cooler on RX 590 GPU.

And I use the term "mounting bracket" in quotes because, uh, it's actually just the Kraken G12 mount with some long screws and nuts and rubber washers cobbled together in such a way that it actually... uh... seems to fit quite snugly. Well, it looks better (and feels tighter) than the horrific Frankenstein of cable ties and I/O blanking plates that I slapped n it last time (which, surprisingly, worked quite well).

It's literally just the Kraken G12 retention bars crudely screwed onto some long screws with nuts+washers on the other side to hold them in place. Now shall we see if it works? Yes, I haven't tested it yet. I was too excited, I had to type this first! :D

WILL POLARIS LIVE ONCE MORE?! WILL POLARIS RENDER (WAR)FRAMES ON SASH'S "BED PC" WHILE HE GAMES WITH A CONTROLLER IN BED BECAUSE HE'S LAZY?

Find out in about, uh, 20 minutes? Actually; for you, it'll be like, instant. Literally, instant, because I won't publish this until I've tested it! Lucky you! I have to faff with a computer for 20 minutes! D:

...

YES IT WORKS, BUT I'M ALSO IN BED. So all you get is this picture of me testing it from the comfort of my squoodgy blanket land.
