Great! That's a big boy with lots of room...including for water-cooling.

I have 2x 480 front and 1x 420 top, still i feel it's small.

Very nice, External PSU?

Why would you do that?

My cousin wanted it and he paid my asking price

Not even if my Nan comes out of her grave i would sell my Corsair Obsidian

yeppers, it's one of these stout 240w Dell bricks

if I had to hook this up to my xps 13 i'd probably complain, but on a desktop its actually pretty sleek

What GPU, 3080/90?

I'm finally done. I can now have my peace of mind. I have no reason to touch it anymore except for maintenance. Parts are in my sig but:

Processor	Ryzen 5 5800x
Motherboard	Aorus B550i Proo AX
Cooling	Bykski GPU and CPU waterblock, Barrow mini ITX pump, various Bykski/Barrow soft fittings, Barrow PU soft tube
Memory	32GB Patrior Viper 3600 kit
Video Card(s)	MSi RTX 3080 Ventus OC
Storage	Adata XPG Gammix S50 Lite 1TB, Adata SX8200 500GB
Display(s)	Specterpro 34uw100
Case	SSUPD Meshlicious
Audio Device(s)	Logitech G Pro X
Power Supply	CoolerMaster V750SFX Gold (non-noisy version)

That top "flow-meter" helped me get rid of the air-gap easily. The GPU block really accumulates air unless you remove them manually by lifting and twisting the case until the bubble goes to the "flow-meter" which I fill with coolant. I then wait for the gap to appear then rinse repeat. It should be 99% filled by now.

I bought some speaker feet to lift the case up so that I can use standard DP cables.

Had a fan bracket 3d printed to place a thin 92mm Noctua fan. It helps improve airflow and cools the GPU backplate as well as some parts of the motherboard.

RGB bleeds through the mesh and looks awesome.

So as discussed sometime ago, got around to painting my Dell T3500. Ffigured it could only be improved giving how scratched and banged up it was. Not perfectly happy with the result.
Before;

And the result;

Think I should have gone with silver after all. Going to repaint it. It's not that the gold doesn't look as it should, just that it doesn't go as well with the silver front plate, which is not going to be painted.

this is one smart dude ...

I did the same thing to Lenovo Think stations.. with Intel I5 3470s just bios mod pcb power controller mod noise filter and water proof and static / rf shielding.. slapped a RX570 4Gb they love em... 1080p 120+fps almost every game... there are tricks for HDD and SDD that haven't been discovered yet. HDD tip... Spindle and Disc platter / main bearing HOT... put a heatsink just the size of the PCB focus thermal paste on the controller chip and power chips and you will have one fast HDD so fast it makes you think why do I need to spend so much... on ssd and nvme when they work just fine.. after mods..

what i have learned about the 5000 Series.. they are so TOUGH thermal reinforced MADE TO BE ON FIRE.. so in order to break in my 5800x I had to get it to 95c in benchmarks and let it mine 9khs on mining helps get all the components to return and helps clear out any left over chemicals in the silicon layers...

My main rig has been a year in the making including the 6 month wait to get my videocard. I’ve finally reached stage 2 of 3. My 3080 is now water cooled and I have dual radiators. So freaking excited. The next stage is attaching the external 1260mm radiator with dual pumps and quick release to supercharge the cooling even more but that’s for another day. I remember someone somewhere saying nobody puts a thousand dollar videocard in a $100 case... Well here you go and there’s a bunch of water too. I’m so happy with it!

*I have fixed the kink since taking the photos lol. I wanted a right angle compression fitting on both intake and outlet on the pump but its impossible to screw two on so ill maybe shorten the tube so it doesn't touch the window and kink or find a diff type of fitting

Custom loop, kinda done, had to replace D5 tank so using a cheap one till later this week. Universal block on 980ti is doing a grand job. Pump/280-45 rad/CPU/240 rad/GPU/Res. Not pretty but I'm past all that now. Case is thermaltake v21 mATX

I like the way you mount your rads. Seems a more logical way of doing it.

I like your build man, looks practical and well built too. Cheers for sharing.

That poor GPU, or is that an illusion

Why poor? temps are fine idle and load.

It's twisted. I think the hose is bending it up. Hard on the slot too

Its fine, its would actually be pushing it, view is from above. I'll adjust it, with a 90 degree when i change the tank.

 

[freeagent]

Nothing crazy.. down to 3 case fans instead of 7.. it’s much quieter, but there is a penalty to all this quietness.. good thing they hit pretty hard

Good choice with the Tuf B550M. I love mine to bits. Your GPU does look twisted, though. I think that pipe is pushing it up.

My first NVME (Samsung 970 evo) died 2 days ago. The warning was sudden and quick; I was in file explorer and suddenly the folder previews disappeared and then the computer rebooted into uefi. Only 3 years running.. RIP

That sucks.. Hope you didn't loose anything important..

I think the pipe is pushing it, but it should be ok till i get the new tank and revise it. Maybe need to rotate block so pipes go up and over the top of the card instead.

 

[SN2716057]

That sucks..

Yeah. I really should daily backup my Document folder as I've lost a few game settings (mostly Arma & BeamNG).
