Not posted here in a while Sorry about that

I fitted a double 360 radiator water-cooled system in my Lian Li 011D mini. Some people say it could not be done, I think the X570 Aorus Pro from Gigabyte offered the right hight clearance for the GSKILL NEO 3600 ram
I was waiting for a Byksky water block for my Asus Tuf 3080ti. After 90 days it never came, but its still "on its way" from China.
So I opted för an Alphacool water block
GPU runs very cool, maximum 50 degrees under 4K gaming. My CPU though, AMD 5800X is not liking it, 58-63 degrees under gaming
I got the new Be Quiet Light Wings high rpm case fans, better cooling, higher static pressure but not sooo quiet as claimed. I guess having 8 fans in a small case, pushing air through two rads will generate noise.
I am still trying to find the balance between cooling and fan speed in the bios
Also recently installed EGA new supernova 850GM SFX PSU. LOTS of power but with an annoying "eco mode" cooling, where the fan ramps up från 0 till near max whenever. Annoying, some people are complaining about overheating and fan spinning too late in forums.
No updates until Ryzen 4, promise

Got a Vertical Mount for my R9 290. And slapped a 140mm fan on the side panel to blow directly into it. Hopefully temps will be lower, havent tested it you just yet!
Had to do some modifications to make the vertical mount fit though, I will probably have to clean that up later at some point

Quick update, the Fan rpms dropped from 2700 to 2400 under 100% utilization in video games and they produce significantly less noise

that's an awesome setup you have. not sure why you would use an SFX power supply when you have such a monster case though... a 1000w EVGA supernova platnium is only $170, and you clearly can afford it. doesn't that power supply have a switch on the back to turn off eco mode? i know Seasonic's do

also a member since 2007 and only 27 posts... holy **** lol

Nice loop. Is push for the bottom rad not better than pull though? I will be fitting a new EK 360 XE bottom rad to replace the EK 280, making 2 x360 bottom/top, in my o11d xl case. Also did you not consider a EK FLT res/pump? look at mine, makes fitting a pump/res much easier/tidier in these cases without a full front plate.

Closing the door on SFF (at least as a daily) for the last time. Moved the loop to the P3 and put new Heatkiller Tube 150 to work. Happy to be back on the better performing Unify-X, it frees up the Impact to revisit some benchmarking for the 5700G.

It's a miracle what industrial A14s can do when they're not pressed up against a case panel.

That rig is so nice man.. good job. See what happens you throw a few grand around? Looking at that even makes me feel good

For just a grand, you can have a beautiful high-performance loop of your own

I'm not going to lie, it may be hard for me to go back to any sort of case again. Been spinning up the A14s to 1300rpm again, no drone since they're not up against any restriction and all 4 fans are mounted to rad gaskets. With just a NF-A9 atop the graphics card, the B-die has been cruising under 30C in games. I finally see what you mean when you said your RAM never goes above 35

Looks like the custom loop club has gathered here so I'll post as well

Figured from radiator reviews, push seems better than pull. They always test push or push/pull, never just pull.

That flow indicator looks cool. I've had push (or push-pull) always.

 

[freeagent]

I don't understand why people pull instead of push. Makes no sense to me. Push/Pull I can understand, but just pull? Nah..

I guess i wrongly had my old 280 rad set a pull

I can always stick some more fans on top of the new rad now.

EK did one test where pull consistently came out slightly on top. Consensus seems to be that push only and pull only perform about the same barring other complications (ie. on an open bench with the rad just lying on the table), WC reviewers like extremerigs and daz (I think?) just run push

Push, Pull or Push-Pull on radiators? - ekwb.com

There are some advantages to going pull if the rad is on intake duty. Pull can reduce noise; rad is mounted to the case, so no real vibrations transmitted there, pull fans can be gasketed to a radiator which basically eliminates all drone (on A14, mounted to the case I can do ~980rpm, mounted only to gasket rad I can do ~1350rpm before I hear noise). Also when intaking, push will basically get no real airflow into the case whereas you get plenty with pull. Granted it doesn't help RAM since the exhaust is too warm, but can help with SSDs and VRMs.

Push/pull master race

Don’t make me buy rads to try and see for myself

Maybe this summer..

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Just done a rejig as i did not like the meter position. Advantage is, i now have a temp sensor on the in of the XE rad and a temp out on the same rad, and it looks better. I just need one more 90 degree fitting now to finish it of. Guess where?

 

[Arrakis9]

love seeing all the soft tubing users post their stuff! looks great guys.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Really impressed with temps on my loop. Idle CPU/GPU are 23c both, big rad (bottom) is 23.2c in and 23 out, reckon i should have in out on the top rad too? Load temps gaming are equally impressive, at about 42/3c for both CPU and GPU. pump is set on 50% ( D5 PWM ) Airflow is kinda chimney with air in bottom and out the top.

My setup currently:

I did turn the blue light down quite a bit, but my camera either exaggerates it or I am blind from staring at the harsh controls of older cnc equipment with a ton of blue light.

My case setup is pretty simple.. 2x 140s and a 120 in the front of iPPC 3K flavour, a TY-143 on the cooler and no exhaust. I have the top of the case sealed, and no pci covers. It works well..

U spend so much on it but dont have the money for two wooden blocks to set the tv higher? and use books

That's because I am ghetto AF. And I am experimenting with placement, that's not permanent. My kid wants to read those books sometime

I don't like the visible cables, but otherwise looks good to me.

Having cable management for power cables and devices sucks. That's why I have also a mess of cables coming from my PC and monitors.

Same here, but you have to crawl under the table to see it. Same with home cinema, you can't see it unless you wanna see it
