China will have either the Custom or Koolance if I can help it.

I'm getting a thermometer so to measure how much heat there's in the case once the CPU silicon is at 90°.
I don't think CPUs are in trouble at 90°. Intel throttles them at 100°.
Possibly the motherboard could decrease its life expectancy. I will report on internal case temp soon.
I absolutely love the idea of a custom radiator that has room for 2 25mm fans in the case you're developing. That was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned you were considering designing a custom rad to go with the new case.
Well, those are fantastic ideas! If I have to choose one, I prefer the first one. This allow the use of the radiator in other cases, keeping a clean continue full profile of 25mm.
But of course it should give better performance than the commercial one with a fixed FPI!
may i ask where you are getting these custom radiators made? and what the cost is for prototypes?The Koolance is available on multiple websites in the US and EU.
I'm working on something semi-custom. Very similar to Aqua Computer radiators. This type of radiator is closer to CPU heatsink stacks than typical radiators. All else equal, performance is worse than traditional radiators, however, since I can customize the dimensions / volume / surface area for this project, it might offer interesting performance gains. This is experiment territory, so no idea on performance or ETA, it's not a priority.
I don't know if it's already been said, but I'd also love to see the Big Shuriken 3 in the cooler test at 69mm tall. It looks to be a bit worse than the L12S on bench, but you never know the variables.

The price I don’t know, prob more than the case
I'm chomping at the bit awaiting info/updates on the 2nd prototype! I hope all has arrived in good shape, and that we are that much closer to the point where I can throw money in your general direction @Wahaha360 !
Great, finally an alternative to the Dan C4 that isn't stuck in development hell. Here's hoping this project stays on track instead of wander to accommodate every need to "appeal everyone" which will never happen.
honestly, I find it has the flexibility Dan was looking for, it can accommodate 2 and 3 slots gpu, without any sort of sacrifice (and the delays...)
After feeling let down by Dans C4 missing progress (or rather the uncertainty if it will ever get released and what it might feature), this looks like it fits what I want to have in my next case - I'll definitely keep an eye on this.
Custom radiator is here.
Broke my Torx screws trying to remove the casing, looks like I will have to test with the CNC casing.

while your frustration with dondan's lack of direction in his project is understandable, imho it is not helpful to make snide comments like this that isn't constructive nor helpful to the community in general. people may work on their projects (i mean it's their own project after all) at their own pace and so does @dondan himself. simply being a potential client does not give ourselves the upper hand to urge anyone to work on their own project at one's desired pace nor flow.
Oh man, all this is amazing! Love to see the copper fins unpainted!Custom radiator is here.

For the sake of performance, whatever fractional degree or % that really means, we are not painting the copper.
Ideally, I would prefer design of products to be honest, so the copper radiator should be copper.
Open Bench Testing is complete.
The Koolance 120mm HX-CU420V (Copper) is 3°C away from the Alphacool LT240 (Copper), which is equal or better than most 240mm (Aluminum) AIOs, like Corsair H100i Pro, NZXT X52.
In light of 2°C standard deviation expected for most test, my conclusion is why increase the dimensions for irrelevant performance gain.

Is that 9900k on stock Solder or Delid? Either way that's one hot chip haha, think I'll stock to something with less cores. How much warmer can we expect the chip to run in the case?
