Death of a legend(ary case). Makes me want to pull my now unused NCase V5 out and redo my custom loop in it. It was my first foray into watercooling and I wouldn't change a thing about the experience.

Switched to the Lian Li Q37 that can be seen at the top of the current page. A Glass side panel wouldn't have woked with a dual 240mm rad set up inside the NCase, it would just choke out the side radiator.

Hi, hello. You may know me from such threads as "My Humble NCase M1 (Dual 240mm Custom Loop)". in which I went though the process of air cooling a 2080Ti/9900K with an Accelero III and Noctua D9L, to swapping to an Eisbaer LT240 AIO for the CPU, to finally putting the whole thing on water...

In reply to the bolded. Yeah, it was a DDC 3.2 sold by EK. I had to dissemble the plastic housing, and yes I believe it should work fine with the flat backplate as I have seen it done before. The installation is as you described with the o-ring. The overly cautionate side of me would really...

Both products can have their place in the market. Once you weigh up the pros and cons of each, some will prefer the 645LT to use as-is and others will the prefer the LT92 for the ease of servicing the unit in the long term and customization options.

Yup. You could even re-cut the tubing shorter if needed for a perfect fit, then push the tubes back on to the compression fittings. The block has a fill port too. It is basically a very small and low powered custom loop in the sense that all the ports are G1/4, you can do whatever you want with...

What case are you planning to use? I bought the standalone FLT reservoir, as the specific D5 variant was out of stock at the time. In the box came two mounting brackets of different depths, and two different sized O-rings as it is indeed compatible with D5 or DDC pumps. I only measure noise...

I put the glass panel on standoffs. My GPU block terminals completely blocked the glass from fitting otherwise. I had the build done early July initially, but ran into some unexpected complications. Firstly, right off the bat my GPU temps were higher than they were in my NCase. Like 10c...

It's not the exact part list that Optimum Tech used for his build, but these are the exact fittings and tubing I used initially with my dual radiator NCase loop. I hope they may help you, and for clarity, you could swap the tubing to ZMT and the compression fittings to 10 of whatever size ZMT...

I'm moving on from the NCase V5. Great case, enjoyed each build in it and I've been 90% happy with it throughout. Unfortunately, after the initial loop I did last year, and retubing it with ZMT just last month, I've had a real desire to go further with watercooling. I've picked up new case...

Edit: Wrong thread.

It seems like it has been designed with that as a fully supported option. Though I think it may support 280mm radiators as well as 240mm. There's mounting holes on the bottom for fans and rads alike, and a side bracket is seemingly included with the vented version of the case. There's also...

I really like what they're going for with this. Seemingly good ventilation, lots of mounting options, seemingly good compatibility. I see it as more of a Cougar QBX 2, than a knock off of any of the boutique options. An affordable compact case that can tick the boxes for most people. If didn't...

While a novel idea with some upsides to it, I really don't see a use for this outside of OEM machines. Which is fine seeing as it's purpose built for an Alienware machine afterall. It's just not very exciting from a DIY builder perspective.

I thought the Eisbaer LT240 fit the T1 case perfectly with a slim fan and standard 25mm fan?
