I assume you just plug it up once filled. you will obviously need to fill outside the case unless you're using QDC/ reservoir method.
That's the exact waterblock I've got sitting at home at the moment, ready for install once the T1 arrives, looking like next week. I've a 2080 Ti Windforce OC, though both appear to be reference design and use the same waterblock. Happy to answer any questions you have once I get it installed myself
this is the one i have and it is really nice. i bet there are better ones on the market but it also comes with a back plate included. it looks like it fits your card as well.

gotcha. well it's stated that the max height is 155 and if it gives you trouble if you switch to terminal fittings, if possible, you'll shave enough mm off and the pcie connectors won't be taller than the watercooling ports. it will be close but if you have everything it's worth a try.
I was thinking about trying a liquid devil just to see if it would work but i don't think it will. I found a shorter pcb card that makes it unnecessary anyways
Stupid question time (because I forgot to ask it before I made several purchases). How important is the backplate for the graphic card in the T1? I actually have an EK Quantum Vector waterblock which I believe does not accept the backplate already on my GPU (EVGA 2080Ti Black).this is the one i have and it is really nice. i bet there are better ones on the market but it also comes with a back plate included. it looks like it fits your card as well.

most likely no reason. I just have a weird phobia about not having one. If you wanted one you could probably buy one from EK even though it is likely unnecessary
Function wise is completely useless. I had my Titan RTX without until now.
It’s true though that without it, you have to pay a bit more attention.
If are scared, get one from EKWB. I like the Classic and the Pro because are smaller than the Quantum Backplate
I think that's the plexi model of the one I want, so that's good that you like it!
Yup that's pretty much it. You just don't have the same ease of mind. I know it's a very low chance of things happening but i just feel more comfortable with it. I also like the rigidity it adds as well.
I'm disappointed that I have to wait for the backplate because no one had them instock and they were sold separately. I'm moving on from my 2070 super to try a smaller pcb 5700 xt that is 228 with the waterblock on. I'm hoping to put in a regular tube res/pump combo. I'm going to test fitment in a larger case first but thy both only house 330mm cards. i know it won't be exact and I'm not sure how the res would attach to the T1 yet. The iceman would probably work too, again, if I can find a way to mount it
Can I see pics of how/where you setup that Quadro? I was looking for ways to install sensors for a Gigabyte mobo, and this might be the best device. Thanks!

Thank you both for your input. I suppose that if I get inpatient while I decide on the backplate I could always put in a separating plastic sheet like the Dan Case A4 has. But I likely won't bother, since I really am not careless with my electronics. And a plastic sheet would only restrict air flow in the case. ?
Not one minute, I was at checkout at 9.00.41 PST. It was OOS at that time. Had to convince myself to get the oreo in 2 secs. Really bummed I did not get the black.

Calm down, I too wasn't fast enough for 1, google pay fcked up again this week, will snipe it again next week till the day it is widely available. Until then I will have the loop assembled in the Ghost S1 then
Thank you for thinking outside the box with the 90 degrees PSU orientation. The simplicity of the 24pin cable have inspired me to do the same. Though I am not done with it, so far its looking good.unfortunately i saw this after i'd done some work on it and then got all set back up. but the mount is... very crude for now. what i did was attach the ssd bracket to the case, and then zip tie the psu bracket to the ssd bracket. between the zip ties and the rigid-ish 24-pin cable, the mount is pretty dang solid though (just not level/flat).
note that the holes don't line up between the two brackets, and you can't mount the psu bracket flush to the ssd bracket because the psu bracket is wider than the "open" space in the front panel, so i think it'll take a custom piece to solve the problem. i'll dig around later this week and see if i can come up with something more long-term.
i mostly did the rotation to give the workhorse fan plenty of unobstructed room to breath (as well as the overall aesthetics of less cabling), but i'm sure you custom loop boys could find a way to use this empty space (27-30mm between psu and fan) for something...
cpu side-
gpu side (yes, they are different colors ?)-
...and then the logjam up top that i need to figure out (was definitely not expecting the power extension mount to be so deep)-
I really hope this preorder drama is solved in September with a larger batch.
