Can confirm that model or automotive paint works wonders. I put in some small scuffs in the top/bottom panels from inserting the front/back radiator panels and used some spare Audi paint that was pretty much a perfect match once buffed in. The color was Daytona Gray Pearl (LZ7S/6Y) in case...

I had a janky attempt at something like this in my build. You can attach the FLT80 to the SSD rail mount which allows you to shift it forward and backwards in those slots. I came out of the GPU top facing holes using a degree 90 micro adapter and up to the reservoir bottom. It was way too...

Just to resolve my previous post about square MX keycaps getting stuck in the power button recess: a simple fix was to take a small chisel and dig out the corners a bit to create additional space. All is well. 🙂

You got a D5 in??? Dang, respect. On another note, an issue I've found is around MX keycap compatibility in the front IO. I've tried a few so far and found that the round corners of the power button slot interfere with the keycaps. At least with the DSA caps I've tried, they tend to bottom out...

Totally! My build is currently running off M.2 SSDs on the motherboard, mainly for the amount of wiring space that saves. I figured I could use that space for a 4TB SSD down the line if I need more storage. In the meantime, I think I’ll 3D print a black cover to install on the bracket to hide...

280mm x 20mm radiators paired with 25mm thick fans.

Yes, not having the DDC combo would allow you to slide the core a bit under the radiator, should give you another 5-6mm of play in either direction before you hit the fins. I don’t think it would be quite centered in the chamber, but you could potentially use standoffs on the riser assembly or...

Adding some in progress shots of my own here. As others have noted micro 90 degree fittings are your friend here, and every millimeter counts. After a ton of trial and error, and almost settling on a loop with an FLT80 reservoir at the top, I ended up going with a compact bottom mounted DDC...

Yes, it’s actually a Z790i. That was a typo, my bad. 😅

Started putting a build together in this beauty today and immediately hit a snag with the ASUS Z690I. it seems that Asus overbuilt the top HDMI end of the motherboard IO leaving a chunky overhang of the side metal cover of the heat sink assembly and the IO shield lip. In stock form, these end...

In regards to the fit for the FLT80, would it matter if it is the DDC or D5 variant? I’m having a bit of trouble visualizing this arrangement and want to make sure I don’t order the wrong type. Thanks!
