If I were you, I would probably be more annoyed by the air cooler fan for the CPU ramping up and down with load than being concerned about 2 or 3 degrees of an influence by the GPU exhausting warm air into the case and pulled through the radiator. If I had an AIO laying around already, I would...

I ended up with one 240mm radiator and a 120mm radiator above. Makes routing of tubes so much easier.

Nevermind, I found the problem. It was wrong installation indeed. The CPU block didn't even touch the CPU. Now everything works very well.

Yesterday I finished assembling my custom loop with Aquanaut as CPU block. Unfortunately the CPU temperatures are beyond good and evil. I hope, I made some installation error, but just to make sure this is not expected behaviour, I wanted to share the data I get and ask for feedback: In Windows...

Thank you for the quick reply. They seem to be hard to get in Germany for a reasonable price. I just found out, that I can plug together a 90° 1/4G female | female adapter and a 4mm male | male extender

I am kind of desperate. In my case I have 27mm clearance from the Aquanaut (without pump) to the case panel. Does anyone know 90° angled fittings with installed height lower or equal than 27mm? My EK 90° rotary fittings are too high. I ordered Alphacool 90° non-rotary fittings, only to find out...

Received my SV 590 v2 today in Germany. I had a hard time deciding for Sliger again, after I bought a case some years ago designed by some community member here and manufactured by Sliger, because the quality was bad back then. The more so I am impressed now with the SV 590. The finish is even...

Fish tank inside - handle with care

I have shorter standoffs in two sizes. 4 standoffs with 8mm height - if I use them, the rear IO does not fit with the IO shield of the motherboard. And additionally I can't even screw them in completely where the PCIE riser is mounted on the other side of the strut, because the threaded part of...

In my box only two of the shortest standoffs were included. I can't install the motherboard properly. I have 5x long standoffs, 4x shorter standoffs and 2x very short standoffs. In 3-slot-GPU mode the very short standoffs are needed to install the board, right? I tried fitting it and am pretty sure.

I just tried to fit the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision OC. I think the 3090 has the same dimensions. There is plenty of room - by SFF means. I did not thermal test it yet. I feel like 2x 140mm fans would cover more of the GPU's heat sink than the 120mm fans I used until now for my 1080 Ti.

How about reducing the complexity of two separate products even down to only one by including both brackets by standard?

I can confirm, that 320mm long GPUs won't fit in this case.

Sorry, if this has been asked before, but I have a RTX 3080 with 320mm on the way and also a T1 on the way. The specs tell me, that the GPU length supported is 315mm, which would mean, the GPU would not fit. On the other side, I have seen Optimum Tech fitting a 3090 FE into the case, which is...

I will keep that in mind. In the meantime, I had the idea not to do a radiator hamburger, but using the 40mm radiators vertically - the hexa ones with place for 6x40mm fans. One at the left panel of the case and one on the right panel, which leaves empty space in the middle. One could either...
