Looks great, glad to see the case getting used for it's purpose. Why did you not watercool the GPU w/ a distroplate build tho?

stark edge
acoustic echo
#

I believe it

stark edge
#

Sub 70c with oc’d gpu

acoustic echo
#

I'm just confused why you'd go through the trouble of the distroplate etc if you aren't going to water cool the GPU

stark edge
#

380-400W cpu

#

Can’t fix something that isn’t broken bro! That’s why I didn’t loop the gpu tbh, cpu gets hot however so this direct die 720mm rad setup keeps it cool

#

2 x 360mm in an O11D

hollow trail
#

Okay that explains.

#

I thought you literally used a full 720mm rad.

#

I was so confused.

stark edge
#

Could barely fit the 2 rads but I made it work

#

Just threw the 3 fans in the back of the case

hollow trail
#

Got it.

#

Any case recommendations that can fit very big rads? 420-560mm.

#

Currently considering the thermaltake 900.

stark edge
#

That’s your options

#

As far as “thicker” rads go it won’t be as beneficial as having multiple 360s

#

So maybe 2 x 240 would give you 480mm

#

Does that case fit 480mm?

hollow trail
#

How do? Wouldn’t 1x560mm rad in push/pull be better then 2x280mm rads in the same config?

hollow trail
stark edge
#

Ohhhhh you want just one 560mm rad

hollow trail
#

I plan to do a full custom loop system which is why I am considering the thermaltake T900.

stark edge
#

Shit I’d say go for it

#

How’s the airflow?

hollow trail
#

Where the parts go only has 1 exhaust fan where as the areas the roads go in the back (hidden) is like full mesh or better put lots and lots of metal drill holes.

stark edge
#

And the rads support fan space I’m assuming right

#

Cause with a custom loop that’s really what it comes down to, the airflow being supplied to the radiators

#

You’re gonna loop everything right? Gpu, cpu, Ram?

#

Or just gpu/cpu

hollow trail
#

Yeah.

#

I to my understanding I can fit 2x560mm rads + another 240mm for the ram if I want.

#

Look at the 2nd image.

stark edge
#

Ok

hollow trail
#

The cooling cage as I call it is basically full mesh.

stark edge
#

The only reason I’d say don’t do 560mm is because it won’t lineup with 120mm fans

#

560/120mm = 4.6666

hollow trail
#

So go 480mm?

stark edge
#

Yea 2 x 480

#

4 fans on each rad

#

You’ll be golden

hollow trail
#

Got it. Would 560 with 140mm be better though?

#

Just curious.

stark edge
#

Eh I mean

#

You’re talking liquid temp

#

So it’s a little different

#

You go 480 x 120 you’re gonna have very cool liquid flow trust me

#

And save yourself a little money

hollow trail
#

Got it.

stark edge
#

But if you wanna go overkill I mean do you bro I did a 12900ks direct die so I’m the definition of overkill, I fully support spending money🤣

#

560x 140 or 480 x 120 is a win win

#

Ngl

hollow trail
#

I plan to go overkill as I am doing this as a birthday present.

stark edge
#

Shit go for it

hollow trail
#

What do you mean by direct die?

#

Did you change the IHS?

acoustic echo
#

Direct die is removing the ihs

#

Cold plate on silicon directly

#

There are blocks that will let you mount with the ihs removed

hollow trail
# stark edge Shit go for it

Sorry for the ping though I was wondering what your thoughts on the Lian Li SL-Infinity fans are? Asking as they are like the only fans I can buy at MSRP and shipped to Mexico without massive costs.

hollow trail
acoustic echo
#

STs are better, just not very pretty

acoustic echo
#

There are delid tools that help you remove it

#

And then the Coldplate rests against the die directly, usually with the assistance of a plastic buffer around the die

#

Usually also done with liquid metal TIM, which also carries it's own risk @hollow trail

#

But you're running direct die for the swag TBH, yes it lowers temps but it's quite expensive and introduces a ton of failure points and risk

stark edge
hollow trail
#

Seriously?

#

20-30c?

stark edge
#

Custom IHS/direct die cooling kit that adapts directly to the cpu block (makes the block + ihs become one thing), Liquid metal, and the delid kit is all you need

hollow trail
#

How risky is it to setup?

stark edge
#

Instead of buying a cpu block, you perform the delid, make the block and ihs one, and boom 20-30c drop

hollow trail
#

And does it really reduce temps that much?

stark edge
#

It’s super risky and voids your cpu warranty

#

Yes it does

#

I wouldn’t recommend direct die to anyone but if you go for it, temps will be much better

acoustic echo
#

I can't even be fussed to custom loop because I switch hardware too often lol

hollow trail
#

Mhmmm. Not sure what to do. I think I will try without direct die first.

stark edge
stark edge
#

You might not need it

#

What processor are you buying?

hollow trail
#

If that can’t keep the 13900K cool then I will consider the direct die.

stark edge
#

Oh

hollow trail
stark edge
#

Yea just do a good cpu block

#

Don’t direct die

hollow trail
#

Depends who comes out on top this Gen.

stark edge
#

That’s your second option

hollow trail
#

Got it.

stark edge
#

I’d say do a quantum magnitude ek block or velocity 2

acoustic echo
stark edge
#

Velocity being the cheaper option but still performs

hollow trail
#

I am new to custom water cooling, could you recommend me a good combo?

acoustic echo
#

I mean, the CPUs don't even exist yet so hard to totally rec parts haha.

hollow trail
stark edge
#

Sure

#

I’d say with the case you’re getting

#

Thermal take 900 with 2 x 560mm, you’re going to need 2 pumps

acoustic echo
#

Dual d5s isn't a bad idea anyways if you have the room

hollow trail
#

D5 pumps I assume?

stark edge
#

So 2 x D5 ek pumps (get one or both as a res/pump combo

#

Yes

#

Then you could do soft tubing, make sure the fittings you get and the soft tubing is the same size

hollow trail
#

For the water lock would the Hydro X 8 be good?

stark edge
#

Water block?

#

You don’t need one

#

With a pump/res combo

hollow trail
stark edge
#

OH

#

Hell no

hollow trail
stark edge
#

The cpu block

stark edge
hollow trail
stark edge
#

You’re gonna have to bend every tube, test it prior to filling

#

I mean up to you I wouldn’t recommend that either though

hollow trail
#

How do I test prior to filling?

stark edge
#

Get custom loop test device

hollow trail
#

I just figure that if I am gonna do this might as well do it right and make it look good.

stark edge
stark edge
#

Soft tubing can look amazing

#

Hard tubing is gonna cost you a lot to get it right

#

Especially first try

acoustic echo
#

ZMT looks great

stark edge
#

100%

#

Zmt black soft tubing looks amazing seriously

acoustic echo
stark edge
#

Yep

hollow trail
#

Personally I,d prefer transparent.

#

If I go hard tubing what are my options?

acoustic echo
#

@hollow trail take a look at alpha cool for rads, fittings, hard tubing
