wouldn't be surprised if he moves back to the Ncase or maybe the NR200P since they fit more.
My bet is on the dual rad Ncase if he goes for 3090.
he was planning on trying dual rad in the NR200 as well. Anyway, he's consitently giving us the most SFF content on YT.
I am glad that he's getting into mainstream, if not already. Its actually because of him which led me looking for forums like this one and having a template to build my Dan A4. With the T1, I am looking to try watercooling next.
Any chance we can stay on topic, the last 5 or 10 pages have veered way off course the topic of the t1
I suppose mainly for @fabio and @DrHudacris (but others please do jump in as the spirit moves you!): I eBay imported a couple of the super slim Scythe 120x120x12mm fans (SY1212SL12H-P) that I believe fabio namechecked. Apparently I won't see them until mid-October 
For me it is in early anticipation of trying some wacky second radiator in GPU compartment configurations once Ampere waterblocks have settled out.
Are these good performers in terms of noise levels and airflow / pressure on a radiator? Or is it more that they are merely sufficient, but happen to be slim enough to fit in tight spots? Any preliminary thoughts also on a feasible second radiator? Another TX240 for me? Something else?
And I guess I also want to say that damn I hope the FE waterblocks turn out to be as spacious as they seem to be right now. I'll have to get my feet wet in a DDC pump driven loop next, if so 0:]

This was posted in the Dice thread. Looks like the 3090 board is a shorty like the 3080.

Are you talking about the "covered" option with the extended front and rear panels? It does look like those will go a long way to keeping everything rigid. I think @ten13th's main concern was the stability in the extended position without these extended panels (e.g. extra large bottom expand...

I have tried them. They are about 3C (coolant) worse than A12x15 when running at the same noise level (where they run about 100rpm slower), under a load of 120W. The fan blades also protrude by about 1mm over the frames on the intake side. Depending on how you are mounting it, you may need additional padding.
So I would recommend using it only if A12x15 is not feasible.
Ey Stanley-- been digging your Reddit posts! Glad to hear you've experience with them as well. Thanks for the head's up on fan protrusion.
I believe I remember seeing you mention that you've been planning layout for a radiator in GPU chamber too, right? (Or have I mixed you up with someone else on the subreddit?)
Yep. I’m hoping to still use A12x15. But if I use TX240 as the side radiator that may leave very little clearance between the fans and the GPU such that the Scythe fans come out ahead. I’m going to test both config, and hopefully intake vs exhaust as well.
I'm planning on a loop rebuild and I'm contemplating adding another radiator in the GPU side.
1 x magicool G2 120mm (27MM rad) with 15mm noctua fan on the mobo side
1 x Bykski B-RD120-Tk (38mm rad) with 25mm thick fan on the PSU side
1 x NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper X-Flow 40mm with 5 * 40mm fans in the GPU space (with ducting to avoid re-circulation)

I humbly submit to the thread that you be elevated to one of our patron saints of T1 tinkering (T1nkering?).
Back on topic, any reason you've abandoned the 17mm Taobao radiator that you tested? Or is it also like the Scythe fans-- plan for something thicker, but fall back to it if dimensions are just too tight once you start actually building?
Haha there is so much fun tinkering.
I haven’t really abandoned the 17mm rad. I need to see which one is better. TX240 looks much better and is more performant (clearance not considered). But maybe the 17mm radiator can come out ahead because it leaves more room for the fans to intake/exhaust air. It will also be easier to fit due to its length and width. TX240 only leaves room for a pump that is ~35mm thick. The 17mm rad gives you about 2mm more.
Waiting on tomorrows next orders. Hope the wait isn't moved to next yr
Wasn't the orders yesterday?
Guys, I know that is OT, but here the official 3090 FE Bykski GPU block dimensions!
127x186.2x19.5 mm!!
127x186.2x19.5 mm!!
Nifty!
>120mm in terms of length leftover (assuming that PCB doesn't extend beyond the block-- which I think is safe to assume by now for this round of Founders Edition PCBs). Just thinking about radiators in the GPU chamber, so I'd guess we have at least 120mm rads with a decent fan on the menu, right?
Do we have hard measurements on slot thickness? I know we have 2 slots or 3 slots, but does someone have the mm widths of those handy?
