Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

I might try that, but the coil whine when under load is super loud, louder than I would expect it to be, and even with the GPU fans set to max (which are super loud) I can still hear the coil whine. I usually run three monitors though, so not sure how well switching the DP cables around would help.

It's not my PSU, I've had two different PSUs plugged into this card and the coil whine is just as bad with both of them. Either way, it's not something I'm too worried about because I can't hear it with my headphones on, and it might allow me to get a free upgrade... maybe

Now I thought I had coil whine and it turned out to be the chipset fan on gigabyte x570. It took me a long time to figure that out as I convinced myself that 2 waterblocks GPUs would certainly make a ton of coil whine. Just something to consider!

Love your current pump solution, just have the pump block hanging off the side. You say your waiting for the 2600 pump to be back in stock, why dont you just remove the pump out of the lt solo, i belive the cpu pump block also has a 2600 in it. Also alpha cool should be coming out with their 2nd gen dc-lt pumps (the new pumps are in the new aurora aios). Id suggest temporarily using the pump out of the lt solo, and then upgrading to the newer pump later on

To exhume pump from the Alphacool Waterblock would mean to destroy metal faceplate. I do not want destroy part so that I may re-sell it.

I really tried to fit a second 240mm, but with a DDC pump, at the moment, is impossible! The side radiator has the new Kaze 1212 Fan, leaving 8mm almost of "space" to let it works! Of course, I need to test the entire setup... Just missing to fill the system!

you missed the sign up for Aquanaut? I might skip the DC-LT combo altogether and just wait for the Aquanaut to come to do my loop. my plan is to put a 2nd TX240 in the GPU chamber when Big navi comes, with A12x15. Since I plan to run 3 fans on the top rad, I think there should be enough negative pressure to help propel the hot air from the side rad upwards even with just 5mm spacing. Still not very convinced of the Scythe 1212 fans

The second radiator is supported just by the fittings!

I think you should tie that down haha Don't like having stuff rattling around in the case. I plan to use 1 of the small bracket with standoff to anchor the rad off the bottom panel. Ofc it depends on the fittings and how high the rad is positioned

Oh OK, for some reason I thought the pump was easily accessible, I rember optium tech mentioning it was easy to dissemble for cleaning so I just assumed you could replace the pump easily.

Just want to double check before I pick up my parts tomorrow. 3200Mhz ram is a good speed for amd CPU's or should I go higher?

3600 is ideal.

3600 with a cas of 18? That's the best I can find right now

3600C16 is admittedly better but C18 will do just fine. It's the infinity fabric running at 1800 that matters more.

Gonna stick with CL 18, can always upgrade later. Being in Canada, everything is 20%+ more

Third prototype of my 3D-printed DDC reservoir and it's unfortunately still leaking pressure... Not sure if it's universal with all DDC pumps but my Alphacool DDC310 seems to require a ton of torque to achieve a proper seal and the printed threads ended up stripped; threaded inserts also got pulled out. Not fun. G1/4 ports seem to work just fine though.

Looks like the strix may be the absolute fattest 3080 that MAY fit. It is really right on the limit of what the T1 supports. And until we try we dont know if the recessed power connectors will clear the top panel. Another thing is that it takes 3 8pins. Can the SF750 or 600 support that?

@gwertheim you want 3600 cl16 for your AMD setup. I'm running 3600 cl14, but that took alot of tinkering to get stable.

I can't afford CL 16, it's $100 more from the looks of it

There are the Ballistix 3600 C16 at amazing prices around! But 3200 otherwise is perfect, you will not notice the difference.

For the people that will ask HOW I connect all together. I am using 2 Low profile Koolance fittings between the 120 rad and the rest.

EIDT (tested with 2 Noctua SLIM to compare better with previous tests)

SO, Regarding the TEMPERATURE:

CPU at STOCK: 2/3C Lower than the GTS240, 3C lower the Coolant (Blender Benchmark for 30min)

CPU OC 43: 2/3C Lower than the GTS240 (Blender Benchmark for 30min)

GPU: 3/4C Lower than the GTS240 (Heaven Benchmark for 30min)

THEN, is it worth it for 99% of the people, at the moment? Nope! It's super hard to build, and you need to have a lot of patience and scratched fingers for it! ?

Two ideas.

Could you go for through holes, with nuts on the ends? This would allow you to get A tighter seal?

secondly, apoxy the threaded inserts in. They don’t come out then.

SF750 has 4 8-pin PCIe/EPS outlets. If you dedicate a cable per outlet as NVidia recommends you'll max them out (1 CPU 3x GPU). Just perfect!

SF600 is SOL as they only have 3 8-pin outlets (1x CPU 2x GPU)
