    20mm rad + 25mm fans should fit with a waterblocked GPU? As mentioned, some other fellow earlier in the thread is running a 30mm rad with 20mm fans and it fits. Though, doesn't leave enough space between fan/gpu for my tastes.

    @m4nii By the way, could you measure this distance? I wonder if it is even possible to fit a 4080/4090 waterblock with the connectors on the "top" side (the traditional location) in this case?

    Hmm, I also assumed that the connections to the side-radiator would be on the inside face of the radiator as opposed to the outside/panel facing side as is typical in dual rad loops in these size cases. Why are the side-radiator connections not on the inside? No space (because of thick...

    Are you getting any turbulence noises from the fans being sandwiched between the radiator and the side/top panels? Also, your loop looks overly complex. Was it not possible to, for example, connect the in/out tubes on the bottom of the top radiator rather than routing around to the top? And...

    Advice Sanity check: gaming with a side of productivity

    Thank you for the thoughtful reply. As a matter of fact, for many months I was heavily leaning towards a 7900XTX but in the end I decided that it wasn't worth the price compared to nVidia's offering (4080). In any case, you've given me something to think about.

    Advice Sanity check: gaming with a side of productivity

    I wish that money grew on trees, but I've been saving and can't change Jensen's mind (not with the current NVDA movement) so it is what it is, but I want to play my games at maximum settings and have been patiently waiting to upgrade since crypto and covid screwed the supply chain up. For fun I...

    Advice Sanity check: gaming with a side of productivity

    Hello, everyone! I'm finally upgrading from my old i5-7600k, GTX1080 build, and wanted some feedback on my parts list just to make sure I'm not making any mistakes. I will primarily use this system as a 4k 144Hz ultra-settings gaming machine, but I do a bit of productivity-related workloads...

    15mm between the block and the rad? I believe the fittings on the EK pump/block are on the top, so if you include the fitting/tubing coming out of the block, is there no space between the block and the rad? I'll wait to see your pictures. Also, I would like to know the distance between the...

    So, no problem with larger than 141mm width radiators in the top?

    What part are you talking about, specifically? Is it this? If so, perhaps the yellow-highlighted panel easy-connect plugs are what interferes with a larger rad mounted directly against the bracket thus, no, there isn't more room?

    Thanks for sharing all of your experiences. I am also considering dual custom loop so this is great information. Please share your experience with fan noise from the side panel as well, as I've noticed that you mounted the fans there first as well which may cause a similar issue as with the top...

    @dondan Thank you for spending years crafting the C4 and the A4 before it. They are beautiful pieces of hardware and I look forward to what you come up with next. Salut!🍺

    @dondan I hadn't found this in the thread and due to the poor product naming it's been tough to get a clear answer via Google, but I wanted to confirm that the PNY Verto 4090 non-GRB/non-XLR8 will fit the C4. I ask because the C4 website reports the following GPU clearance: And PNY states that...
