    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Normally I'm a fan of OptimumTech's videos, but I think he really dropped the ball on the circle pro video. Felt like he gave up trying halfway in the build. His final one is so sloppy and unlike his usual ones. I wouldn't judge just based off of that video. The case is extremely well built --...

    Anyone know if there are any new rtx 3xxx GPUs that can fit with waterblock in the case? My 1080ti mini is starting to artifact so might be time for an upgrade 😅

    For sure, here it is. Not much changed on this side. Less exciting than the other side for sure lol

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Pretty late update on my build, but I finally got around to getting a picture. More home time with the recent global events ? Main updates are fixing the runs and cable management, as well as adding in white pastel. Pretty much done now!

    Finally got my custom loop up and running! This took way too long, with the biggest problem being the length of the end tanks of the tx240 Its running a zotac 1080ti mini with the bykski block and compact terminal (its a PERFECT fit) and a ryzen 5 3600. So far the temps are actually way better...

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Id imagine a case like that with the build of the existing circle pro would be even more expensive than 400. I wouldn't be surprised if it had to be priced at 6-700 given the very low run numbers and cost of the machining. Maybe it could reach that if the build was simplified a lot, but then you...

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Got some more time to work on my build and made some good progress. Came across a roadblock though that I'm not sure about. Is using a hard line fitting without the collar a good idea? My build uses the xspc 20mm 240 rad since im also using the 1080ti mini, the ports on it are really far out and...

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Nice build! I'm about to finish mine once work dies down a bit and am using that same barrow gpu terminal! Super happy when I found they also fit bykski blocks as well since the bykski version of it is too big to fit. How is draining/filling the build? I see you have a qdc in there in the cpu...

    Wow that is pretty sweet. Looks like they were able to solve the problem I was having by tapping two G1/4s directly onto the GPU block. Taking some notes for sure The PSU exhaust is a bit worrying though if the builder plans on using this as a daily

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Sad update to my build - Got the Bykski block in for my 1080ti mini, but the terminal does not have enough space :( There is about 1cm of space that is needed to get it to fit. Back to the drawing board I suppose :( Maybe some combination of a founders GPU (less overall width of card) and...

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Excuse the bad phone pix, but I was able to get the tx240 to fit! Took about an hour of sanding and a long time shoving things where they don't fit ? Ended up sanding all four corners down a bit. It fits if you mount it on the back first with the front removed and then hinge the front downwards...

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Thanks for the suggestions. The part that is probably the best option to get a good fit from what I can tell is sanding a bit off the two corners of the rad. There is a little bit of space in the front (and back) of the case right under where the corner screw spots are, which the rad just nearly...

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    Looks like the tx240 will not fit in the case. The end tank is too long to get it to fit. It is very close though, just a few mm more space or smaller end tank and it would fit. I'm considering filing off some material on the rad to round it off and see if that gets the shape just right into the...

    Completed Circle Pro - Solid Alu CNCed mini-itx case - 240mm liquid cooling

    @CircleTect or anyone else have any experience with fitting the zotac 1080ti mini with waterblock in the case? Based off of images it seems like the waterblock terminal will be too large to fit without downsizing on fans or radiators. I'm curious if it will work with the 20mm xspc tx240 +...

    Does anyone have any custom cable length suggestions for this case?
