Show me from the side

[vivid nexus]

Next upgrade: Second loop for the cpu, because the coolant gets too hot from the cpu running at 95°C -> dual 480mm in the front(push/pull)

[gaunt cloud]

thats alot o fans lol

[vivid nexus]

yeah currently 24 xD

after my upgrade 32 🙂

[gaunt cloud]

wow looks really nice good job dude, are you using softtubes?

[vivid nexus]

thanks and yeah I‘m using softtubes, because I thought for the first time of building a pc I should go the easy way

[vapid rampart]

This mf be wondering why he can't run both a 200W CPU and a 400W GPU on the same loop

Still, bonus points for the HUMONGUS amount of fans. Friking love the thing

Out of curiosity, which fan pulls and which fan pushes?

[gaunt cloud]

hope your softubes are clamped to the fittings, always be careful with them

[vivid nexus]

yes they are. I use the compression-fittings from corsair

[gaunt cloud]

nice had mine pop off when they got a little hot i zip tied em now

[vivid nexus]

air intake (front and top) ,out (back). There are so much gaps where air can escape, if you you would wonder why theres is so much configured as intake

[vivid nexus]

really can recommend those compression ones

[gaunt cloud]

yes im using alphacoool since i had some bad expiriences with corsair aios

[vapid rampart]

Is 2 120s enough for THAT much intake?

Oh wait, water cooled

[vivid nexus]

all fans are 600rpm(idle/quiet), 1200rpm(gaming/not loud but you can hear it), 1700rpm (rendering/very loud)

[vivid nexus]

yeah because of all the gaps

[vapid rampart]

Ok makes sens

[queen cypress]

What?? I never knew corsair ql120 fans could go very noisy i remember having 5 ql120 fans for a build i made for a relative and even under full load they weren't extremely loud

By the way there are alot of questionable choices that doesn't make any sense unless you have some upgrades or modifications to do

Uhh shit i didn't read the chat ok ok makes sense now

[vivid nexus]

if you have only 5 fans than it‘s not as loud as with 20+

the sound level increases every time a bit for another soundsource

I think the max on a QL120 is like ~26.5dB(A)

when I turn all 24 fans on (100%) then I get up to 46dB(A)

[vivid nexus]

but we have to consider that much of the noise is I think is‘nt comming from the fans itself, but from the fans blowing through the radiators. With all that restriction with the little fins, that could be where its comming from. For example you have a large field and it‘s a stormy day, it‘s loud, but not as loud if as you had a large forest,there it would be loud and you would get the whisteling sound, because of the trees.

dB — normal measurement for sound / dB(A) — measurement for sound you can hear as a human

[queen cypress]

Ok got it by the way i liked the way you put it out lol you would've been a great teacher

[vivid nexus]

oh thank you 🙂

[heady rapids]

Ga dang

What temps do you get

[vivid nexus]

cpu 95°C (normal for r9 7950x)

gpu 70°C

coolant 30-60°C

[vivid nexus]

bad temps 😕

I have a job now so that I can afford a second loop

the gpu and the cpu in one loop is just too much to handle, if I want to cool it silent (500-600rpm)

I want to play my games at 4k 144hz not at 1440p 120hz, but right now it‘s the only way to play at all (at ~1300rpm)

[sand apex]

or just run your loop through 2 rads

[vivid nexus]

there are 2 rads

[queen cypress]

Lol that sounded sad

But running another loop should not be that expensive since you already have fans i don't think you can spend over 300$ for two extra thick 480 mil rads right?

Actually thinking about it it might be pretty expensive yeah now accounting for the extra pumb and tubes and probably fans yeah it gonna be expensive

[vivid nexus]

280$ just for the rads and the fittings ~90$ (second loop-> second pump) 160$

~530$

[vivid nexus]

Oh

I thought about using an external Mo-Rad with 4 200mm noctua-fans

[queen cypress]

I mean you really don't need that much right?

You aren't cooling a 4090 and a threadripper

[vivid nexus]

If I want to cool my system as silent as possible maybe even passive than I have no other option as to buy such a big rad

[queen cypress]

Ok that kinda makes sense

But before doing such expensive cooling solution why don't you upgrade your components

[vivid nexus]

I really can’t afford anything more and why should I. I mean the 4090 is cool, but needs a lot of power and I would need a new psu

[queen cypress]

I remember that you said you wanted to game 4k 144hz do i wonder what are you giving up for that extra frame with the 3090

[vivid nexus]

Minecraft is no problem until i#I use my shader on „extreme“ mode -complementary- than I get only 90fps

In Valheim it’s 120fps with 1440p but it’s not that much worse than 4K. The settings to high/medium

[thin glen]

Show us the fan controllers 😂😂😂

[vivid nexus]

😂

2x core xt, 2x commander pro, 2x rgb hub(to usb), 1x nzxt usb hub

[thin glen]

Words can’t describe

[vivid nexus]

„perfect“ cable management

[thin glen]

I can’t comprehend

That photo

[vivid nexus]

every single one of the 24 fans has two cables 😭, but I labled them all and now it‘s easy to understand where which fan goes

[gaunt cloud]

wow

the cables

what case are you using

[vivid nexus]

corsair 1000D

[gaunt cloud]

oh damn didnt know that one can fit 2 360 top

[vivid nexus]

you can go and pick up another 2x4 120mm fans bracket

and the brackets are swapable

[gaunt cloud]

you shouldve bought lian li fans for better cablemanagment:D

[vivid nexus]

yeah perhaps that would have been a better idea

I thought about it, but in the end I wanted to have only one software. my loop is corsair and thats why I use their fans now too

[vivid nexus]

Update:

External rad is coming soon….

[vapid rampart]

Yoooo

That's sick

[vivid nexus]

4x200mm Noctua.swap

[steady owl]

If i may ask, whats the purpose for the pc??

[vivid nexus]

4k gaming(valheim and minecraft with 400+ mods)

rendering in fusion 360, blender, premiere pro and photoshop

I have hyperacusis, so it has to be as quiet as it possibly can get

[vapid rampart]

So the specs are mostly for this

[wheat slate]

Are the rads stacked? If so and if its the same loop you'll actually get better performance with just 1 rad instead of 2 stacked on each other. 2 rads in series (not stacked) would even be better of course.

Edit: oh wait, atm its only just the 1 rad and 1 loop for both CPU and GPU? Ok yea.. that second loop will help out a lot 😂

[vivid nexus]

Yes

[vapid rampart]

Can't say I balme you 🤷‍♂️

[vivid nexus]

there are two 360mm rads in the top and it‘s still only one loop. pump>gpu>cpu>rad1>rad2>mo-rad>pump

now I can barely hear the fans and the coolant is down to 30°C (22°C room temp)

my mom is in the room next to me and said it was a little bit to cold in there to work. and now with the external rad I can put tubing through the wall into her room 😀

so it‘s a win-win 👍

[steady owl]

Please post pic of your entire setup!! I am excited to see it all!!

[rain halo]

perfection

[vivid nexus]

the tubes on the PC are from the external rad. I just started to make a few adjustments so I can have a fresh start next week

but when I get it done I‘ll send another picture with everything turned on 🙂

[queen cypress]

Bro’s pc is gonna fly away with that many fans

[simple perch]

Nah man it’s too heavy for that XD.

[steady owl]

No speakers or headphones??
The headphones might help a bit with your hyperaccousis

[vivid nexus]

I have airpods max and steelseries 9x, but I don’t want to wear headphones every time I work.

[vivid nexus]

but yeah it helps 😀

[steady owl]

Aahh Danggg!!!

Share the thermals after stress testing, that pc will still be chilling @ 40-50°c max i think!! 😂😂

[high plume]

How much have you overclocked that thing?

[vivid nexus]

I didn’t 😂. runs on 170w ecomode

but I want to overclock it a little just for fun, but for work I like it when the system more reliable

normal is 5,2ghz idle, 5,4ghz Cinebench r23 singlecore, 5,2ghz(over all cores) Cinebech r23 multicore

[high plume]

Holy crap that is a hot thing!

[vivid nexus]

I‘m setting it back to stock settings (230w) right now

with stock settings the singlecore boost is actually lower @5,1 - 5,2ghz

maximum boost (HWinfox64) 5850MHz

[thin glen]

Wat dat

Also at this rate it’s time to put it in a different room

[vivid nexus]

I hear every little backround noise. and all that backround noise is super loud

[thin glen]

Jeez

How do you not live with pros on
