FINALLY AN UPDATE!

州市, 【广州国际中心】已出口直封

Can someone help me out with a translation?

Got the same update today, almost 2 weeks after the last update (March 7th)

Mine is "广州市, 【广州国际中心】已出口直封" and using the websites built in translator, translates to "Guangzhou, Guangzhou International Center has been exported directly sealed", no clue what it means though. But at least it's something

I can’t recall if you or @bpark919 ever got the “ Airline departure” or “ Guangzhou, delivered to air transport” updates.

How about you @hengster ?

Mine is still on "Airline departure" since March 9th. No updates since.
It's all because of the "C word", we'll receive our T1s sooner or later

Very true. It’s just that seeing all those nice builds and being on lockdown make the wait harder. ?

Update 2020-02-18 : 240 AIO questions will not end ?‍, ONLY ONE 240 AIO FITS - Alpahcool LT240, but 240 AIO is not officially supported!



Update 2020-02-18 : Accidents or foul play, some candidates' entry for was deleted. So we are extending TEST Shipping Campaign to Sunday, 2020-02-23 12:00 PST (UTC-8)

Update 2020-02-06 : Preorder on hold until virus situation settles in China.

Three reasons:
1. the virus has created a huge backlog and uncertainty for shipping, I don't want to take orders with this much uncertainty around shipping.
2. I have requested more T1s to be made, so delay preorders = the gap between availability will be days / weeks instead months.
3. more T1 availability = less anger and fighting on the forum, less disappointment.

Update 2020-02-04 : OptimumTech review video dropped - 9900K on 120 AIO can out perform 240 AIO, 240 AIO is really for the obsessed.

Update 2020-01-30 : OptimumTech video drops February 4th PST. We can't ship and must evacuate due to coronavirus outbreak in China (so we will not take orders) ?‍.

We have been notify to evacuate out of the country due to the unknowns surrounding the coronavirus outbreak. Warehouses and logistics companies are also required to do some sterilization (kill germs is the exact translation) during February. Unforuntately, this pushes the earliest possible shipping date to March 6th.
I know this sucks, but we can't control a virus outbreak, so it's FML situation on our end too.

So many ideas, so little time

It's not even available yet, because not all the test shippers have gotten their cases yet. Be patient, or check back here every other hour like the rest of us "normal" people (seriously I have a problem)

While I understand that there are more important things going on in the world, I am really looking forward to this case! I can see why he wants the feed back from the test shippers, but if they cannot get are the case and are in a country he cannot ship to right now anyway, then what is the point of waiting for their feed back?

Because he wants to have the best knowledge on VAT, extra customs duties and costs. It's for YOUR eventual benefit.

And @PBJ I did receive back on 3/7 something along the lines of airline acceptance, etc. Here's hoping our cases are finally on their way!

 

[bpark919]

Slight update.. so the latest update is "airline carrier" which was the exact same final update as the 7th...

Is the Chinese text any different? The translation to English wasn't reliable for me.

Update on my build: ran into some snags. The GPX pro Solo mounting results in the hardware protruding behind the GPU about 11mm which is way too much. Thanks to someone (I'm sorry I forgot who, might have been @fabio) mentioning the purpose of the small tabs as a way to use bifurcation, moved the riser to the second slot and was able to seat the GPU with cooler. I also switched back to slim Silverstone fans instead of 20mm Deepcool fans, just to have some more room to work on the motherboard and to prevent PSU cables from interfering with fan. I could have inverted the PSU but then the tubing run would not have worked out from motherboard.

That's lookin' great. Can you speak to how easily the TX240 fits into and mounts in the case? Also, is that the Crossflow model?

TX240 fits pretty easily, but only with fans between it and the panel. The end tank fits snugly into the front frame, scratches a bit of the paint off the end tank, but no big deal. The cross flow will not fit unless you use no brackets, and just friction fit the radiator in. But even with the bracket, only 2 screws will attach if you use a third fan like I have. If only using slim fans, you can use the front and rear brackets and have all screws attach.

@DrHudacris @Brude27 Tracking says it’s finally in New York ISC!

Same for you guys? @Navic @bpark919

EDIT: This is only at usps.com

Nope, USPS says it's still pre-shipment. But now on 17Track, it's back to "Guangzhou, delivered to air transport "

It’s a good sign you’re getting updates. Most likely it’ll at least get to the US this week ?

 

[jason.jensen]

The pump is SUPER SILENT! I think having it suspended between the radiator and the GPU avoids the vibration on the chassis.

I really love the build you have put together there! Do you have a parts list written out somewhere? Particularly for the cooling loop?

I haven't been able to sport one in the last several pages.

 

[sffinxs]

11mm, it should be fine for GPU backplates less than 3mm thick, most are.

I know this is not a common setup, but I have a “thick” M.2 card at the back of the Motherboard that is already adding 11mm (Hackintosh stuff to get the WiFi to work). I am guessing the riser cable is going between the graphics card and the motherboard is at least few millimeters thick. That means the space will be too small for me and I might have to swap front and back M.2.

 

[tyen]

The tubes for the Corsair H60 were giving me trouble due to the routing and limited space above the PSU. One of the tubes would touch the radiator's fan blades from time to time when it relaxed.
I wanted a way to give the tubes more space to play with. So I took a hacksaw to a spare fan to add two horizontal lines which the T1's mounts could slip into.
Doing this gave me around 4mm of extra clearance.
Here's a few photos.

Hooray!!! I’ll look forward to seeing your build, my friend!

I'm looking forward to this case. Cheer up!
