    Stalled DICE CASES - FLOW : expandable SFF case for watercooling enthusiast (built in distroplate)

    Am i the first one to get done a build log for this? Here is my build on reddit. Hope more people plan on sharing. Cheers

    I tried some type of DIY filter on my bottom fans since they're the only real intake that will be taking in dust. I didn't have enough clearance with the fan at low speeds, because the blades sag, it would rub on the screen. Here's a picture of my failed experiment. Plus mod to my desk to help...

    I only run one glass panel on the GPU side of the case. I do that because the GPU side of my case has all of the nosiest components. Pump, 3 Delta 40mm fans (although they're actually very quiet, more so than the Noctua 40mm's) and a 80mm Noise Blocker fan. It also helps direct airflow. Air flow...

    Hope everybody's builds are going along alright. Here is a few pictures i took of the finished build. Running a 3950x @ 4.4/4.3 GHz. 1.206Vcore with a Asus 2080ti on an EK waterblock and backplate. 32GB Hynix CJR cheap no name with an ebay heatsink that i modified to fit dual rank memory. Runs...

    Take that custom Air/Water delta sensor reading and use it as the data source for one of the Software Temp Sensor outputs under the Sensor tab. Then you can use that Software Temp Sensor as the data source for your controller/fan curve. You can then adjust the severity of the curve using the...

    As for my temps, they're actually quite good. Better than i would`ve thought honestly. Although my setup is probably much different then most. I am most likely cooling more than the average using this case also. Playing Call of Duty for ours gets my water temps up to 39C max with the fan curve...

    Isn’t this the way it’s supposed to be mounted? I just removed the two screws on top of the frame and gently bent the top rail to the left and right depending on what screw I needed to secure.

    I think my distro plate is too tight or the wheel is on backwards. Either way, it’s not getting fixed until I feel like taking the front cover off again which will be never. Doesn’t seem to obstruct flow much.

    Finally got it running. Had a bad PSU which was quite unpleasant. Hit some quick Cinebench runs just for fun. 77c after 16 runs. VRMs don’t go over 53c and chipset is mid 40s. Nothing is tuned yet. Good luck to everyone still building.

    Pretty sure my distro plate screws are too tight or the wheel is backwards. Can’t tell, but I’m leaving it until I feel like taking the front cover off... I have a flow meter at the very end of my loop, before the distro input port for my flow rate. It lets you control the system much more...

    Here It’s 3 dual ball bearing 40x28mm 18.5k rpm Delta fans attached to an Alphacool 1u triple 40mm radiator wrapped in sound dampening foam. Its crammed in between the GPU, exhausting out of the 3 slot GPU mount on the rear. I took the fans apart, lubed the ball bearings & spring so the fans are...

    Finally leak testing overnight. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 + my ghetto setup for powering the pump without messing with the PSU. It’s 12v Ac/Dc from an old fan to a buck converter hooked to the pumps power wires. I drop it to like 8v and let the pump run overnight.

    The rad is not in a fixed position. If can be moved forward and aft. Almost like a rail, but a slot cut into the bottom/top frame. In other words, you could just move the rad to the fittings. Multiple combinations should work.

    Will do if I can ever get it to stop leaking.... lol And you can reapply thermal paste without draining the loop — unscrew the spring tension screw from your block and you should be able to bend the block far enough away from the CPU to reapply thermal paste. That ZMT tubing is flexible, just...

    I have UV LED lighting on the upper rails of the case. I hard wired it in, spliced the 5v power from a PSU Molex cable and grounds are hooked up to a toggle stitch. 12v from the other two wires of the same connector are wired into the pump. I’m using UV coolant as a little throw back. Think...
