Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

Right, I noticed that afterward, Probably not a good idea to run 3 slot mode if he's running an 120mm AIO. I'm curious what he's running for the GPU that requires that additional space.

I'm curious, why do you think a 120mm AIO in 3 slot mode is a bad idea? I ran a 120 AIO (the same one OP is running) in 3 slot mode just fine, the limitation I had was the cooler. If anything 3 slot is better for the 120mm AIO (or any AIO/Radiator for that matter) because there's a lot more space for the radiator to get air

Well for one, AIO Tubings aren't that flexible to run through the tight space needed for 3 slot mode, as in making the bends in the remaining 55mm space for the CPU socket and remaining space around the motherboard and RAM. Secondly the additional space on the GPU side makes no difference for the radiator at getting air regardless of whether your in 2 slot or 3 slot mode. The only reason you'll ever go 3 slot is:

1. You're running a 3 slot GPU
2. You're going with a custom loop with tighter tubing / fittings to allow for space for a reservoir in the GPU compartment
3. You want to run PCIE X8x8 Bifurcation for 2 PCIE components; 2xGPU or 1GPU + 1PCIE peripheral card.

Man! You should get the 1800 PMW!! Or the Arctic P12 PMW ?

Already working on the Arctics!

 

[thelaughingman]

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Your eyes do not deceive you.

some close up shots of the sanded area pls?

Go for Noctuas next ?

Yes, sand down the Noctuas! @DrHudacris

Ok so when it comes to partners cards, having a hole in the back plate should not negatively impact thermals as if that hole is blocked due to the psu, the card will just exhaust normally like normal cards, HOWEVER this is not the same for the reference, for the reference card the fin stack looks to be completely surrounded (by metal or plastic) this is so the only way air CAN go is through the hole in the backplate, if that hole is blocked then that heat cannot escape.

i wouldn't worry about partner cards having a hole in the back plate as they should perform decently regardless, however if a card is designed ENTIRELY on all the air escaping through that hole like the reference, then id be cautious

I've got my case set up in three slot mode and inverted the psu so that the fan is pointing inwards. That way it can suck the hot air from the 3090 and send it up to the radiator.

Looking for PCIE4.0 riser for T1. Anyone can tell me how long the riser should be? 25cm or 30cm?

20cm

 

[fabio]

20cm

Hold on, depends which type of riser is. My 3M is super tight and is a 25mm

Just received Tempered Glass Side Panel prototype, damaged during transit and bit of glue spill, but still worth sharing.

Do different manufaturers label length differently? I'm a bit confused ?

I measured the stock riser cable to be 20cm, every part of it included in the length.

Is not that, is also how the cables are made physically. There cables that need to be double bent, others that doesn't need the bend, etc...

And yes, sometimes the manufacturers use a different start/end points to count the cm, unfortunately!

So, I've tried to see IF the SPC can allow a TX240 on the GPU side, but, 99.5%, is a NO!

 

[TSOF]

7 Degree improvement at load.

BTW, The Reference Card RTX3080/90 Blocks from EKWB, with the RGB shit, are ONLY 230mm long! This means we will have a LOT of space to play for other stuff!!

Damn I wonder how long the 3070 blocks will be then. I don't think we will be able to cool a 10700k and 3080 on a single 240m rad so 1070 to 3070 will be a good enough upgrade for me and only 220W

with the shorter Ampere block the pump can be rotated 90 degrees, then pushed back towards the spine and that should give the space for the TX240?

Nope, This is impossible in any case! The only way is to use a Pump/CPU block combo! The good things of the shorter GPU block is that you can also use a full pump and reservoir vertically!

I mean, at least for the DDC. Maybe using the SPC can work!!

Finally managed to finalize (kind of) my first water cooling build, thanks to everyone in this topic.

@fabio Mad respect for your work, it really is tight space man!

Few things to correct before calling it finished. (If it ever finishes?)

To do list;

1. I guess I still have air pocket in the pump, since I hear running water sounds from time to time. (I guess I will get a cheap reservoir and try to push out/put more liquid with it.)
2. Get an offset adapter or 45 degree elbow for rad entrance. Now the tube is connected directly to rad, and it has light kink.
3. Get the pump cables sleeved.
4. Get an NVME drive
5. Although PSU cables don't bother me too much, I'll probably get custom thinner cables soon.
6. I'm thinking about getting another 90 degree turn for the right bottom corner. (Holding on to this idea, since I might use risers to push PSU to the side cover for better cable management)
7. Get a new gen two slot GPU so I can close the other lid☺ Hopefully with water block attached ?

Here are some shots of my case;

What if replacing ddc with dual 3600 dc-lt pump? That Alphacool Plexi top im using is only 37mm in thickness

Well, the SPC is 35mm, so even thinner...
