don't forget matching screws for the bottom xspc rad with the noctua slim fans: UNC 6–32 screws with 3/4 inch length should do the job.

Don't even think about hardtube fittings for softtubes. You will need compression fittings matching your softtube outer and inner diameter. Better learn about watercooling basics before buying custom loop parts blind.

Because it leaves a decent gap between the GPU and the fans to guarantee some decent airflow. Most thicker radiators will have the fans blocked by the GPU, with very limited thermal benefits. No airflow means no heat blown away from the radiator. For the side radiator there are more viable...

Going 16/10 all the way. EK Tube ZMT 15.9mm OD/9.5mm ID. Using Alphacool fittings since they are easy to source in Germany.

Another advice: Flush that XSPC radiator at least 4-7 times.Look what came out of mine which arrived on Saturday. You don't want these metal parts in your pump.

I bought this splitter for my case: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-cable-splitter-4-fan-pwm-extended

EK RAM Monarch maybe?

that vid makes me want that screwdriver ?

This is how mine looks yet ... after repositioning and rescrewing the side rad i gained sort of 1-1,5mm of clearance ... no idea where i have lost the space before. Still waiting for the new CPUs and GPU chips to get released and my EK 3.2 DDC PWM pump, bottom rad and more fittings to arrive so...

Wondering how Optimum Tech fitted the quick disconnect fittings in between the rad and the PSU. I measure 22mm clearance whereas the quick disconnectors have a 24mm diameter. ?‍♂️ Thinking about getting a thinner side radiator for my build. Have you measured the gap for your build?

Reading this i hope they don't have a big quality assurance problem. Still over a week for mine to arrive.

Mine arrived yesterday with DHL Delivery to my appartment in Germany, asking 20,59€ for customs. Apparently i was lucky?

WatercoolingUK in UK claims to have XSPC rads on stock. Maybe try https://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/XSPC-TX240-Dual-Fan-Ultrathin-Radiator-Black_67699.html ? Still waiting for mine which i ordered in Germany ... But at least i considered ordering in UK ...

Be patient then. Mine is already a full week in the international mail facility in Germany, and probably 1-3weeks to come until i have to deal with customs ?

You still got the nice one. The new revision seems to have the drain port on the right side instead of bottom for some reason ?
