I did mean ST20, thanks!

The Glacier fits great, if I didn't need to line it up with the GPU hah. Unfortunately it does a crap job of removing bubbles in this orientation though.

Finally wrapped up my build, which involved too many fitting re-orders and waiting several long weeks for the 7800X3D (that ended up getting lost in the mail). Specs: 7800X3D w/ Heatkiller IV Gigabyte B650I Aorus Ultra 64GB G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo (EXPO 6000 30-40-40-96) 3080 FE w/ EK Vector...

Had a hell of a time getting all my required parts in, now that I'm onto the cable management phase I've found that tucking the USB 3.1 and 3.2 header cables behind the PCI-E riser and then looping over to the edge of the motherboard is the neatest solution. Could interference be a concern here...

I appreciate you looking out! I actually just saw that Performance PCs has some STE20s in stock again so I'll likely go with those.

I'm amazed that this run lined up on the first try. 10/10 hole pattern for the universal mount. This'll be trickier when the waterblock is actually mounted to the GPU but I'm hopeful, seems like worst case I can screw down the PCI bracket after I'm done. Now time to 3D print some dummy...

Ah missed your build, that's looking good! I assume the DDC is handling that restrictive rad without too much noise?

Well, you guys bought up all the 280mm STE20s in this hemisphere 😅 Has anyone here done or planned a 280 + 140/120 loop like Taylor's friend did with their early prototype? It seems like one can squeeze in more radiator thickness if they omit a full radiator on the back side which leaves room...

Am I correct in understanding that this PSU and the ROG Loki are the only proper 850w SFX(-L) 4.0 PSUs with a proper 12VHPWR cable that includes the sense pins? Not counting rebrands like the aforementioned apexgaming.

I have a 3D printer so that bracket CAD file might come in super handy; otherwise I don't see a point in mounting a DDC to the FLT80 when the R160 is more manageable. I should clarify that I meant I wanted a dead-straight, completely vertical hardline run between the two without any adapters...

Has anybody hashed out whether it's possible to do a straight run from a 3080FE block (out the top/back of the card) into an FLT80 or R160? My initial thoughts are that aligning them depth-wise will be the limiting factor, especially with the FLT80 being too thick to shift back and forth and the...

Love seeing all the unique builds people are coming up with...having some breathing room in the case does wonders for creativity! What fans are those?

Nice work! Is the temp sensor mounted to anything? I also realized that an unforeseen benefit of my delayed case is that I get to see how the 7800X3D performs before buying parts 🙂

Nice, perfect fit! Please do share when you figure out the tubing run between the Res and GPU if you haven't already; not looking forward to figuring that part out for myself. Also, is there enough height in the case for crossflow radiators? I want to put a drain port in but the reservoir...

Ah nice, got any photos?
