Some updates, as it seems I cannot prevent myself to change everything every three month.
First, I replaced the Asrock Z170 Fatal1ty ITX motherboard by a Supermicro X11SSV-Q board.
It's the perfect piece of hardware for this build as it supports bifurcation, SO-DIMMs and, above all, embedded applications.
Which means no more 24-Pin connector : the system can be powered by a simple 4 or 8-pin connector, depending on the CPU.
Second, I replaced the 6700K by a 6700T and the SFX PSU by a Meanwell EPP-400-12 driven by @Thehack One2 Distro board.
In order to test the Supermicro board with this particular power solution, I repurposed the first prototype of Adibou.
After a few days of use, I can confirm that all is working like a charm !
@Thehack designed the perfect power solution for this build.
Finally, to be able to test my two watercooled 1070s with this board, and while I was at it, I decided to use a single 180 mm radiator I had lying there to cool the whole system.
This is an EK Coolstream WE 180 radiator, paierd with a slim 18mm Silverstone fan.
Total width : 53 mm !
I wanted to test this cooling setup for a while and I'm pretty surprised by the temperatures !
Max. temperatures fter 45 min of Prime 95 on the 6700T and Octane Render on both 1070s (room temp : 22°) :
- CPU : 50° max
- GPU 1 & 2 : 50° max.
Granted, this is only a 35W CPU but it has plenty of power for my needs.
Since cooling my whole build with a single 180 mm radiator is possible I'm going to further downsize Adibou from 11.9 to 9L !
