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

  • Yes, worth the trade off to be more compatible with components

    Votes: 116 24.6%
  • No, not worth it b/c it is not better than the ROG 30XX, which fits now at <10L

You can fit it with some modifications according to @Wahaha360

What said modifications needs to be done?

I dont plan on using the LT240 since its crap, i only need the radiator from the AIO, since its 25mm thick.

i would wait until the Optimum Review or Official information's at the website or by @Wahaha360 .

Sure, the case cannot be purchased at this time anyways.

You just need to ditch the anti-kink coils from the tubes as they don’t allow for tighter bends.

I was under the impression that the pump/ block was also pretty good. It is appropriate for a single radiator loop.

I just received my lt240, and I think the problem may be that the tube are too long, especially with the quick disconnect attach on it who add even more bulk, the anti kink coil doesn't stiffen the tube that much

I would try to fit it as is, if it doesn't work I would change the tubing

I see, thanks for the info! Let us know how it goes when you get the case.

The pump/block combo is just bad, im a bit of a noise freak and compared to e.g. The Swiftech Apogee its just bad.
and if you dont plan on swicthing/adding new stuff in your loop QDC isnt worth it since there is a risk of leaking there.

That being said alphacool radiators has always been my go to :) so thats why i only need the radiator and make my own custom loop.

That's not what was saying Optimum Tech on this video:

Also for having testing the pump out of the box, it was perfectly silent once i dealt with the vibration (at first I had the block directly on the wood desk, then I added a packaging foam sheet underneath, didn't try installed on a system tho )

@Wahaha360, whats the distance from the 3pci slot to the inside panel? seeing if I can stuff 2 single slot water-cooled 2080tis.

See this post.

From the back of the GPU PCB (not including backplate), to the side panel, 59.2mm.

Two different answers, do it fit or not?
I dont need an official support, i just need it to fit with slim fans :)

The Ncase M1 dosent official support a rad at the bottom part of the case but it can still be done :)

The LT240 is not officially supported, but you can fit the LT240 by 1) removing the anti-kink coils, 2) shortening the tube.

Both requires opening the loop, which also implies removing bubbles, and that makes it not beginner friendly. With people constantly asking for size increase to accommodate a thicker 240 radiator, we officially drop it from being supported.

I'm trying to put together a 3950X + RTX Titan build on modded LT240 soon.

If you ever find out from OptimumTech, could we get a time and timezone that the video will come out (when pre-orders open)? I really don't want to miss out on this case.

We will let you know when the orders go live, but I highly doubt we will know the minute the video comes out. I will talk to @Wahaha360 about timing

If I am not mistaken, it's gen 3. Wouldn't make a difference right now until the GPU's use gen 4 too
i think the Dan A4 4.1 has a PCI Gen 4.0 , and some Amd card has issues with Gen 3.0 like RX5500 XT so maybe in the near Future it will be a must have with the Ampere and RDNA 2.0 .
