Increase volume from 9.8L to 10.5L to support MSI Suprim X 30XX?

  • No, not worth it b/c it is not better than the ROG 30XX, which fits now at <10L

Are the Koolance 90 degree fittings shorter than the Alphacool TPV 90 degree rotaries?

EDIT: just looked it up and the HF Compression fitting is rated at 18 mm high compared to the 20mm of the Koolance meaning it may *JUST* fit in the likes of the FormD T1 since OT showed the Barrow sitting at 72mm with the Koolance fittings which would make it exactly 70mm on the CPU/Motherboard he was using in the video.

Yeah IDK why it's listed as 18mm as the height, that is actually the width/diameter of the compression collar. The height overall is 27mm but that includes part of the thread that gets "buried" in the port, so more like 21-22mm height.

Okay so we're still looking at something that's 3-4mm too tall. Good to know, thanks for that info

Unless if you do some grinding to reduce the top head... risky idea tho

Hi guys. I just got my T1 and there are some problems. photos
There's no 2-slot bracket and I got two 3-slot bracket instead.
Mesh side panel has some HOLES that is not artificially made.
Power bracket has corrosion i think. I saw bubbles on it.
and a anodising problem at stick(I don't know name exactly).
I understand some flaws that are inevitable since it comes from abroad.
But I think some of flaws are not inevitalbe.
Does anyone have this kind of problem?

Those holes in the side panel are part of the manufacturing I believe - not a flaw.
Honestly - all of these are minor cosmetic flaws in the finish that are completely unseen when assembled. I wouldn’t be bothered by them - but I’m not you.
The lack of two slot plate is annoying, but I’m sure they’ll send you one.

Which fittings did you use of the lt solo here? looks like your solution may work on my x570 strix if i am lucky as every time i look at it i think i am going to have to go another route for waterblock and pump.
(not that i have been able to get a damn case yet though!)
Cheers.
fortunately, this configuration (keeping in mind this is 3-slot gpu) is a lot more straight-forward than my last one. this is what it can be done with, but note that you have to take the cpu block apart and remove the rubber so you can then spin the right fitting on the 90-
3x https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1923 (back radiator, both cpu ports)
1x https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1896 (front radiator)
1x https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1920 (right cpu port to offset it upward)
- note that on the right port i did a 90 into a 90 into https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1878, but the rotary functionality kind of becomes unnecessary if you use anti-kink coils
and then dealer's choice for how you want to handle the fill port (just make sure to keep the original o-ring in there or it'll leak something fierce)
- pictured is https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1921 and https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1893.
- since you have a temp header (i think), you could just go with the temp sensor stop fitting (https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1963) by itself and the tip is just inside the water block (so readings might be decent even though the location isn't ideal).

Not a fan of RGBs either, but AC makes top notch stuff. Not sure why more people don’t use them?

I emailed you back 12 hours ago again.
I think something is going wrong with the e-mail acount of formdworks, because I received the e-mail only 5 minutes ago.
But thanks that you'll send a new one.
It's unfortunate that it will take two months.
