I have successfully mounted everything in the PC, had to do it with big 420 rad on top and 220 or whatever it is on front of drive cage. Any other way required a fair amount of cutting OR the water connections wouldn't reach or both. So that was easiest way that actually worked. Topped up the radiator and got 2-3 runs of LinX to pass with 10 gigs ram (out of 16) but on 3rd or 4th run it farted out.
Max temp was 85 on one core so that's diddly squat can't ask for much better than that. Anyway about to take picture of configuration but hoses /wires etc not ideal so it's not like the "before" picture but it's not the after either, I mainly just wanted to make sure it was hooked up right and everything worked properly, which it does. I just have to unfortunately rearrange the hoses and disconnect at least one because in maneuvering it all around and trying to get it to fit they are not in ideal positions.
The front radiator with all the wires around it is just where all the fan connections landed for the moment as people pointed out with all the fan hookups in front of case plus working around big ATX plug and my gtx 1080ti which is a big long card it makes it fairly hard to get anything plugged in and neat, however the back of the case as well as the top where the big rad is looks pretty good minus the one hose that somehow ended up over the other, which it wasn't when I started but I moved it around and flipped it every which way and sadly I can't put that little rad in front of the cage because as it is it just literally barely makes it to hook up to the big rad on top, and if I put big rad hoses in front they are too long and that glowing pump is right in way of where the hoses from big rad would be.
Anyway work in progress let me know if you guys have any ideas for improvements aesthetically as well as performance-wise, I'm a noob with watercooling been doing air coolers for 15 years till couple years ago when I got my first AIO.
This was my latest attempt at 4.7 with 2438 mhz memory using 9.5 gb. The loop is keeping cores well under control with heat so will play with few voltages as well as try with memory at 1833 or something to see if it's just the combo of memory controller stressed with 4.7 ghz is just a bit much. However first time I've ever got this thing to pass a single run with almost 10 gigs of memory and 4.7 ghz. Prior best was using only 4 gigs of memory and even with that it ran considerably warmer. I only have fans on one side of each rad so I may put a couple for push/pull on one or both rads temporarily just to see if that nets me any significant cooling and headroom. More to come.
