It's easy with Afterburner. To get +375 memory just use the Beta version with override. There seems to be even more room on GDDR7 but no software seems to allow that yet.
However, if you plan to mod, then it can make sense to buy with the air cooler and update yourself. The good news is that they include the top fans too this time (I don't remember they did with R16), so you can just update with a tower air cooler yourself such as Peerless Assassin and it's cheaper and more than sufficient too. I am always suspicious with longevity with a liquid cooler and if anything goes wrong it's hard to save it with the proprietary parts.
Another reason is that the case is designed to have a huge negative pressure offset so it is a little better this way for the GPU as the air can be sucked more effectively through the side vent with no radiator in the way. So you are trading off CPU for GPU performance.

Confused about the note in the manual:
NOTE: The computer may ship with faster-rated memory, but its performance is restricted by the memory bus limit of 5200 MT/s.

Price now shows up at $2449+tax as configured for the deal.
It appears both the RTX5080 and the air cooled 1000W power supply increased in price.

Highly recommended for anyone with a stock air cooler. I read somewhere on Reddit that you need to purchase separate screws to fit Aurora R16, but in my case everything needed came in the retail box. I am also including a picture for anyone interested.

For the Peerless Assassin 120 SE, there also appears to be a V2 on Amazon. (There is also an ARGB version). Did you buy the original, the ARGB, or the V2 ?
Also, any issues with the bios after install?
Any issues with the fan connector being different that the OEM fan connector plug (such as 3pin vs 4 pin)
And, if you purchased it online, where did you purchase it from?
I am interested in buying this if a clean and easy swap out will work.
Thanks in advance.
