Detachable PSU/HDD compartment covers are a nice touch. Especially for (us) the people who like to populate those places with fans.

clean asf, i am also switching to a proper case, later this month, it's been biting the dust for years now after my brother upgraded to 3060 ti and he's the one who gonna do it for me. Swapping cases and major parts are no-no for me due to my track record.

I must be bored..

Let's go, YGUAZU is ready!

Spoiler: For those who wonder about the name

Many here have heard at least once of the Iguaçu Falls, right?
So, the word Iguaçu comes from Guarani, a local native language, Yguazú.
Its meaning? Y = water/river. Guazú = Big/great. Yguazú = Big River. And the Iguaçu River is big and great indeed, crossing almost the entirety of the State of Paraná from the capital city, Curitiba, to Foz do Iguaçu where it meets the Paraná River in the triple border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay (just a little down the famous Falls) with many hydro power dams along the way. Curitiba, where I lived a large part of my life, Foz do Iguaçu, where I live now. Also, I lived in a little town along the river when a kid.

So yes, for me putting my rig under water represents a dream of a kid (whose dad worked in one of such dams) who loves computer parts, and now has the money to take such a challenge on.
Naming it after the river which accompanied me for my whole life only seems proper.

Which block is that on the CPU? I can see it's Bykski, but I've not seen that model before.
Build looks great but there appears to be a kink in the tubing on the bottom. Never worked with soft tubes so not sure whether or not that can cause issues.

There are two tubes with kinks, the one from the flow meter to the GPU as you mentioned, and the one from the rad to the reservoir. I tried but couldn't get rid of them, however it's working very well.

The Bykski block is a CPU-RYZEN-X-MC.

I didn't notice the 2nd kink until later. What GPU are you running? My coolant temps got pretty warm after long gaming sessions (mid 40s) using 2 rads. Wondering how your loop holds up with the one.

It's a 7900 XTX, so it's a known toaster. I just finished a lenghty gaming session (Phasmophobia is quite light, though) and while the coolant went some degrees up temps were low all game long (I used Radeon Overlay on purpose today). I wasn't paying attention to the coolant meter (doesn't help that it's behind the GPU cables), but when I took a look it was below 35C.

Sounds like your loop is performing well then. I had a 3090 with an active backplate. Those ram modules were probably dumpling a lot of heat into my loop.

I found that under a burst load (namely the Fire Strike Extreme CPU test), it isn't handling the Ryzen all that well, but the Radeon is cold as heck. With stock air, it was over 90 at the hotspot, now it's at 60. Score.
During gaming, both were humming nicely and way better than before.

Maybe recheck the mounting pressure or paste on the CPU.
I know what you mean about the GPU, I put my 3090 back on air (at buyers request) and on timespy test the memory went up to 81C (was in the 40s on liquid cooling). Had to check if that was normal and apparently 80s is good for a 3090 on air.

 

[Ruru]

With my 3080 TUF OC, the stock cooler is fine for the GPU temps, but the memory is a bit on the hot side. I'll put it back under water when I can afford some more water stuff in near future.

That's not bad for 3090, my 3080's VRAM goes a bit over 90C with the stock cooler when benchmarking. I guess I could put a more aggressive fan profile but isn't GDDR6X fine with those temps?

Apparently so, but I'd be uncomfortable with components running that hot if it can be avoided.

GPU line is choked

Get some 90 degree fittings.

I must be bored..

Not that bored that you turn Thermalright around the right way.

Will do. Eventually.

 

[freeagent]

It must be really easy to do, because I cannot figure it out lol.

Ugh.

 

[mkppo]

Not sure why I decided to entirely dismantle a perfectly working PC and change the case plus all cooling components except fans, fittings and GPU block. Will take a few more days to complete because the new layout needs a couple more 90' fittings.

I guess the downgrade in motherboard paid for some of it. Now I need to sell all of the old gear.

edit: I know the rad-> CPU block tube bend is terrible. It was the first one in a long time so i'll redo it with the rest of the tubes.

 

[l1CappYl1]

Replaced my 3090 with my old 1080ti and had to re tube everything because the 1080 is longer and I had to rotate the pump/reservoir 90° to fit it in. Still waiting on 9800x3d prices to drop and 50xx series cards to start my next build.

 

[SchumannFrequency]

The components are listed in the signature.
I have now put two luminous fans in it and it is much more fun this way, especially in the evening.
During the day the room has a lot of incoming light.
The new (exhaust) fan has a (slightly) lower CFM rating than my previous fan.
But I see lower CPU temperatures, so I think that in practice this fan provides better cooling of the case.

F&D speakers? Are you from India?
it's also my preferred brand for speakers

F&D is also sold in central Europe. I mean, it's sold in the most popular electro stores.
I haven't actually been to Eastern Europe yet, but I suspect it might be popular there too.
In Western Europe you can sometimes also find the brand, but usually only via Amazon.
