Looks good, is there a lot of air in your pump?

analog heart
rocky dagger
#

Ah okay

queen flicker
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Anyways that is a gorgeous build

proven citrus
#

double 360mm radiator good lord, what thickness?

analog heart
analog heart
#

had to refill another 0.5L of coolant

#

and can probably do the same again in a few days/weeks

queen flicker
#

We goin sub zero with this one 🗣️ 🔥

analog heart
queen flicker
#

God DAMN

#

"How much cooling u need?"
Yes

analog heart
#

exactly

queen flicker
#

Ok fr now

#

That seems highly impractical

#

W h y

analog heart
queen flicker
#

Theres no way its actually needed right?

analog heart
queen flicker
#

Damn ok

#

Good to know

#

So thats like what 1kw

analog heart
#

1140W

queen flicker
#

What

analog heart
#

not the consumption tho

#

only how much it covers

queen flicker
#

7800x3d and 4080 do not pull that much

#

Oh ok

#

So it is overkill

analog heart
#

i use a 750 or 800W PSU i think

analog heart
#

i mean it's a custom loop after all

#

which typically isn't even required for these components

queen flicker
#

Yea

analog heart
#

but I really like the look of it and thought why not

queen flicker
#

Especially with an external rad

queen flicker
#

If u like it

#

Looks really sophisticated

analog heart
#

i used 2 360mm rads before without the external one and I had to remove the side glass to actually get good temps

queen flicker
#

W o w

#

Ok

analog heart
#

with the external temps stay cool even with side glass on and lower fan speeds

queen flicker
#

Wdym by "good temps" tho

queen flicker
analog heart
queen flicker
#

Damn

#

Ok

#

Those are my idle temps

analog heart
#

GPU is at 38°C at pretty much all times

#

never seen it above 42

queen flicker
#

Wow that is cool

#

My gpu is at 75 when playin smtn like cyberpunk

analog heart
#

as long as it doesn't throttle it should be fine though

#

assuming your room is ventilated

#

and doesn't turn into an air fryer

queen flicker
#

Cant imagine the people with 4090s and 14900ks in the summer

#

Fukin power limit: 50%

analog heart
#

fair

queen flicker
#

Also did u just have a spare 420 rad

analog heart
#

no, I bought it

queen flicker
#

Dam ok

analog heart
#

together with the other 2 in the case rn

#

because I was unsatisfied with my previous ones from Corsair

queen flicker
#

Cool

queen flicker
analog heart
#

yeah dw it's a picture I took after just assembling it

#

I'm getting SATA & 4pin PWM extension cables tomorrow so I can move the rad under my table and have everything clean

queen flicker
#

Oh k

#

Ltt radiator desk v2

analog heart
#

don't give me any stupid ideas

#

because I might actually do that shit

queen flicker
#

Ok ok 😂

#

How old r u btw

analog heart
#

start of my 20s

queen flicker
#

How the f can u afford so many rads just like that

#

Ok imma stop asking questions

analog heart
queen flicker
#

Damn ok

analog heart
#

main reason why most of my stuff is EKWB is because they're the only ones taking crypto as payment

#

the other like 10% of stuff is alphacool because they're basically my neighbors

queen flicker
analog heart
#

used to be better

charging apple prices for their products

#

and current situation with employees etc

queen flicker
analog heart
queen flicker
#

Sounds like theyre fucked

analog heart
#

CEO made a (in my opinion weak) statement ensuring things are getting fixed

#

but it honestly doesn't look like it

#

made an order late april which included 3 bottles of coolant which were supposed to be back in stock may 3rd

by may 7th I am still waiting and I get an email stating they're not restocking until may 31

queen flicker
#

Casual 1 month delay

analog heart
#

and upon support request they said they have internal issues, bla bla so I just asked them to take out the bottles, they shipped it immediately and I just bought different coolant somewhere else

#

so yeah, things are going downhill

#

and there's plenty of other brands which make better products at lower prices

queen flicker
#

Like who

#

Alphacool is one i presume

analog heart
#

Alphacool and Heatkiller seem to be top picks atm

#

together with Barrow and Bitspower

queen flicker
#

I have never heard of any of those 😭 (besides alphacool)

#

Not really into custom water cooling

analog heart
#

but if you dig deeper you'll find out that most Corsair watercooling products (besides blocks) are just other products rebranded

queen flicker
analog heart
#

I'm not a big fan of Corsair anyway

queen flicker
#

Same

#

Anyways whats that case

analog heart
#

NZXT H9 Elite

#

looks cool but is a nightmare building a loop in it

#

if I could undo my decision I definitely would

#

and get a NV7/NV9 or O11 instead

queen flicker
#

Hope that top bit is not glass

#

Yea i know the o11 is good for stuff like this

analog heart
queen flicker
#

I think i know why ur temps werent that good without the external rad...

analog heart
#

nah, there is still mesh, just not the entire top

#

and you can definitely feel the cool air coming out

queen flicker
analog heart
queen flicker
#

Yea that

analog heart
#

as you can see my top radiator isn't even properly mounted because the H9 sucks

queen flicker
analog heart
#

the frame that's supposed to hold the rad is too thin and doesn't allow the radiator to fit

queen flicker
#

Anyways that looks like the fans would really need to force the air out

queen flicker
#

How is it mounted then

analog heart
#

the fan pressure and RPM is good enough, shouldn't really be an issue

NZXT US allows people to buy the mesh top for cheap, too bad I'm in the EU

analog heart
queen flicker
queen flicker
analog heart
#

and bottom radiator is held in place by the tubes and old keycaps to the left and right so it doesn't slide around in the case

queen flicker
#

Id return that thing and get a different case

analog heart
#

I feel like NZXT's designers never seen a radiator before

queen flicker
analog heart
analog heart
queen flicker
analog heart
#

not even the distro plate can use all 8 screws because the mounts in the H9 are so stupid

#

so it's only mounted with 4

queen flicker
#

Jesus 😭

#

Istg its designed so it only works with their aios

analog heart
#

great case for aesthetics and air cooling

horrible for custom loops

analog heart
#

the side only allows 120mm distros / fans / radiators

90% of "universal" distro plates are 140mm width

queen flicker
#

A 120mm distro would be pretty pointless wouldnt it?

analog heart
#

I'm using a 120 rn

#

doesn't make any difference

#

Talking about width only

#

not height

queen flicker
#

Oh

#

Well yea then

queen flicker
analog heart
#

if I find a o11 evo xl on sale I'll definitely switch cases

#

then I can finally get rid of all the stupid runs I've done so far and actually mount my shit like it is supposed to be

queen flicker
#

Hope thats soon

analog heart
#

not that much of an issue

#

everything holds in place

queen flicker
#

Well

analog heart
#

and I dont really move my case

queen flicker
#

Barely

analog heart
#

yeah it could be much better

queen flicker
analog heart
#

but it works

analog heart
queen flicker
#

Still 😭

#

Ight im out
