This drop-in replacement lid elevates the lid about 10 mm above the top-fan thus allowing for a much better airflow of the RAM/SSD cooling. I have measured more than 10K (10°C) difference on full power for DDRRAM temperature and 5K for SSD. CPU cooling is only slightly affected, as CPU cooling is seperated in the bottom of the case.
Edit: slightly changed the position of the posts. 01. 2.2025
Update: added a version where you can clip in the original lid for a nicer and more original looking appearance.
Please print with tree-support everywhere and be gentle when removing the lid. Otherwise you might risk to break the thin tabs on the layerlines.
OpenSCAD included as always.
