There are certain radiators that already have multiple ports for this purpose. Alphacool's NexXxoS ST series in V2 edition and Bitspower Leviathan come to mind

That statement is weird. Why would the size of the case be a factor in stability? If only we could find out what motherboards were used in the ITX and ATX test systems...

depends on the thickness of the radiator for ultra slim types like the XSPC TX series which are a hair over 20mm thick, 125mm width is doable, likely more but haven't meaured properly because only XSPC TX are this thin for most other slim radiators that are 25-27mm thick, width is restricted...

I wonder if the QC issues from the latest batch have anything to do with the move to increase production and availability a few months ago. The timing of the reports of these troubled cases and their delivery dates seem to line up with the time there was a massive increase in availability (e.g...

I'm most likely gonna be grabbing a set of the Crucial Ballistix RGB sticks which are slightly shorter than the G.Skills. Once I actually get round to buying the parts I'll report back on the 3 slot tube clearance unless someone gets to it before me (which isn't hard because I'm really taking my...

I'm looking forward to the thermal results of the G2. The Xtreme Rigz roundup ranks the 360 version better than the 360 EK Classic

that's fine. I don't think any of us are expecting you to build this specifically for the T1 (that's what @Wahaha360's FreeFlo is for). Besides it's already been proven twice now that it works fine in the T1 as is so no need to make any further changes just for us

Yeah an L9 will fit easily. So does a Blackridge and AXP-90 Specs say 50mm but 53mm is doable. That's the height of the EK AIO's pump block and people have crammed that in the T1. I suspect 54mm might be stretching it but probably doable too with a more noticeable bulge EDIT: this champ just...

lots of people have discussed AIO air travel concerns in the subreddit and plenty of people have reported no problems That said...I can't remember if those who said no problems were travelling within US only. Internationally might be a different story same with me. Wanted air cooled build...

out of curiosity, how tall does the whole thing end up being once a standard Laing DDC pump is attached?

well considering no one knows how hot a Zen3 CPU would run you're asking a rhetorical question somewhat Otherwise, refer to this post earlier by one of the mad scientists @DrHudacris for the best performing 240mm radiator in terms of thermals. Easiest fitting is the exact opposite order EDIT...

I see you haven't yet tried sifting through the T1 thread

agreed. I'd say keep discussion in this thread about the new cards related to fitment and thermal testing in the case

problem is that fan coming on at 350W is what happens at 25C ambient, and most likely that's on an open bench I suspect dumping a 3090's worth of exhaust straight into the PSU will cause the fan to turn on much earlier than 350W, but we won't know until testing

To be fair both the advocates and naysayers are all speculating at this point unless someone has insider knowledge of the exact heat output in watts (or joules even) for a 3950X and 3090 at max load, and is good enough at cooling system maths to calculate the parameters of a radiator to suit...
