I can look into doing it tomorrow possibly. I dont have the old switch or anything but i cant explain it the best i can, but for now ill explain it shortly.
i took the green and white wires from the new set, which were attached to an led for the "power led", and wired them to the anti vandal...
I did this to mine as well. i just bought the anti vandal switch and a spare power button with wires on aliexpress. took the wires off the power button and wired it up to the new power switch. pretty straight forward. you can see it at the end of this album https://imgur.com/a/jWjI6
you can use the dark rock with a backplate gpu, and the hdd caddy. and it doesnt cause gpu sag for me, it just touches it, doesnt really push down on it.

my mobo is a asus p8z77-i deluxe/wd
that is! i got mine for like $75 and it was well worth it. Kinda a pain to get in, I'd advise doing it outside of the case and installing the motherboard with the cooler already on. It is easy to try a couple configs before you put the thermal paste on this way too.
also if you want to hook...
welp. i changed my graphics card for the 5th time ever in this case, and the middle gpu screw hole stripped... im delicate with all my things, was screwing this in super gentle because ive heard about threads stripping, 3 small metal rings fell out of the hole. I can only assume these were the...
thats what i have in my setup and it works phenomenally! idle temps are 25-35 for both and load temps are between 50-60 for both. its also nearly silent at load.

works well enough. I was going to get the 3m because i imagine itd be better but it was going to be like a 3 day delay waiting for it. the...
Bought some thermal tape instead of the glue. I plan on using this with my next gpu i get too so i wanted to be able to remove it and attach the founders cooler again and sell it. 3m makes some but i got BCP 15mm x 25m roll for like $13. Works perfectly except on the tiny chips that have there...
New setup is SILENT! loudest part is the HDD. Highly highly recommend an Accelero Xtreme III with fans exhausting.
old
IDLE: CPU 40c - GPU 44c
LOAD: CPU 62c - GPU 76c
new
IDLE: CPU 30c - GPU 28c
LOAD: CPU 52c - GPU 51c
I was having the same noise issue with my founders cooler 970. It was loud and was hitting 75-80 when stressing. I just bought the Accelero Xtreme III, WOWOWOWOWOW.
Went from idling at 35-45c to idling at 26-30c. 100% load went from an extremely loud 76c to 50c and silent at 26% fans speeds...
