    Prototype Free Flow CPU Pump Block

    Integrated reservoir would be quite neat indeed! I tried to model some options a while back... i never got my head past the packaging constraints to incorporate a res into my steck. I'm reservoir-less right now... plan to add a t-line in a future refill For this project, I thought it was just...

    Prototype Free Flow CPU Pump Block

    Its worth looking into the Aquanaut. I've had mine up and running for several months on a gpu/cpu loop with great success. It fulfills this need pretty well.

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    It almost definitely won't fit. Take a look at the last pic in my post above. You can see how tight the cable management is under the PSU with custom, non-sleeved cables. I almost didn't have enough space for the 120mm fan to clear it. If you get creative with the radiator flush with the...

    Something went wrong with the imgur link. Here's an updated one with a few more pictures and some video

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    Long story to this build, but it's my first time with a custom loop I started with the base steck and air cooling with a plan to go liquid down the road: Ryzen 3600 + Scythe Big Shuriken 3 & noctua slim Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce - this was VERY loud even in the original PC it was mounted...

    Never mind. Those were not 6/32 screws I was using there.

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    @Nouvolo - what is the thread on the thumbscrews for the stack side panel. I'm building out a custom loop and my GPU + fittings are too thick for the case. I want to design 3d print a set of standoffs to make it fit. My 6/32 and M3 screws don't thread into the mount points on the case so I'm...

    How's the pump noise when the fans are running low RPM?

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    I want to water cool mine. Just got the top hat. This will be my first custom loop running soft tube. Is an Eisbaer LT solo on its own enough power to cool both a Ryzen 3600 and a GTX 1080? I keep hearing mixed reviews on whether or not it can handle the two blocks as well as how loud it...

    Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

    I bought neodybium magnets and attached them to the panels with Gorilla superglue gel. Way, way better for their magnetic holding ability and heat resistance. I found that under load, the magnetic tape strips NOuvolo shipped would fail under heat, causing the panels to fall off. With 4 small...

    Prototype Free Flow CPU Pump Block

    @Wahaha360 - this is an exciting project. I'm looking for options to watercool my steck build and this will finally bring a DCC alternative to the apogee drive. Is there a timeline that you're targeting for getting this out?
