So here is a video that shows what's happening. Basically, as soon as the load is applies the cards temps jump from 49c to 65c, in a few seconds. Load removed, same thing in reverse. I "think" this also happened when this card was installed in my previous loop with a full EKWB pump reservoir and...

Had not seen this one. Looks nearly perfect. I would need a smaller pump, but for the size, the airflow looks to be very nice. Especially with the vertical gpu. Too bad this and many other good options are unavailable to purchase. I am on the email list for the next batch in case I dont find...

3 year update on this build. Generally works fantastic. Pushed this hard running 3ds max hard with animation renders that went for days at 100%. High temp was about 71c. Had issues with leaks after 1 year, had to replace hard tubing. Then again after one more year. Replaced with soft tubing, and...

Here's a few pics of the newly finished glass side panel. Looks ok..., learned a few things. Next one will be better. Chop saw=wrong tool. lol. Last thing to finish is the custom cables. The cables have proven to be much more difficult that I thought. href=" href=" href=" href="

If you go to 2:44 in the build video you can see the underside of the Quadro card. I think the short block used for this allows for better airflow above the lower fans than other setups that use a full size cooling block. I also used the fan cage on the right side to keep the card away from fan.

Turned all my fans to push out, and ran a quick stress test today for 30 min. It yielded stable temp of no more than 65c. Feels pretty solid to me. I will do a longer one later, but everything was pretty flat for the last 20 min. Pretty happy with how this is coming out.

One big reason I went with the Quadro p5000 was the difference in power consumption over a GTX 1080. That loop can only take so much.

I'm getting about 64c as my top end on the CPU. I should mention that this build is purely for 3ds Max as a workstation. I have been running the CPU at 100% for over 12hrs at a time. The GPU goes idle during those times. Cooling has been a theoretical concern while building. But I have been...

First post here, and this is my first SFF build. I have built plenty of computers before, but never water cooled. This forum helped a lot. Thanks hope this helps! Here is a timelapse of the build... Ncase M1 Asrock x299e itx/ac Intel I9 7980xe Quadro P5000 64gb Ram 1 tb Samsung 960 Pro m.2...
